+<title>I get an error message when I try to install a pointer theme</title>
+
+<p>
+When you try to install a new theme in the Appearance preferences window,
+you may receive this error:
+</p>
+<p>
+<output>Installation for theme "Theme Name" failed. Can't move directory
+over directory.</output>
+</p>
+<p>
+This means that the theme you are trying to install is already installed.
+</p>
+<p>
+If you cannot see the theme anywhere in the Appearances window, it may have
+been deleted. However, some files could have left behind which prevent it
+from being installed again.

+ Cursor themes are stored in the <file>.icons</file> folder in your
+ Home folder. Other parts of themes (such as window decorations) are
