This program will transform your Windows user interface to ultimate Windows Vista alike looks that everyone will never notice it’s the same old Windows XP (or 2003) unless you tell them Vista Transformation Pack will replace many of the resources in Windows XP/Windows Server 2003. It can change such things as: * Boot screen * Welcome Screen / Logon Screen * New msstyles files (visual styles) * New desktop and file icons * New toolbar icons * Progress Dialogs * Sounds scheme * System Tray icons * New Wallpapers * Windows Media Player Skins * completly reversable, just go into add/remove programs to uninstall it like you would any other program * And much more The program is downloadable from here: http://www.windowsxlive.net/?page_id=15 Images

I have attempted to use the transformation pack on a copy of xp and it nothing short of killed my install. It overwrote files left, right and center and corrupted a few files along the way. To have the new UI, I thought it was worth a few small problems - but the end looked nothing like it did in the screenshots. So my advice, use with caution. And, If anyone has been able to install it to look like above, please share how you did it! -jimmy

IMO the reason it looks like that is because he's using the Vista Transformation Pack and Stardock together. That's necessary for the total GUI skinning and transparency effects. I personally don't like stardock appz because they seem to slow down the system too much, but if you want looks more, then go for it. I have installed this on both of my computers. I don't know which version you installed, but i would recommend either the latest stable 5 release, or better, 6 final. there's alot of copies of 6 RC1 floating around labelled as final, so re-download from windowsxlive if in doubt. Any antivirus or protection software running during the patching can also mess up the tranformation. The you have to wait for all the security dialogs to pop up and cancel them all, otherwise some files may revert while others haven't. I switched to a different vista skin, which is why my windows look different than the screenshots above.

so I have to be running stardock to make it look its best! Do I have to have the full version (the one you have to pay for) or can I be using the free version?

I see no point in installing it, your desktop would look nice but still. I'd prefer faster performance over looks. I have used one different skin in the past and changed back, you get to the point where you have to relearn where everything is with some of these packs. Plus you never know what they can stuff up when you install them. Big risk in my opinion. -HellFire

That's true, although i would tend to trust this guy's stuff, as it's been taken apart and gone over, and no one's found anything to suggest he's bundling hidden stuff.

Hello , I just solved delay problem with my computer ( windows XP pro - 1 Gb Ram - 120 GB Hard disk ) by uninstalling vista transformation pack .. Now everything runs as fast as I expected and I feel like having a fresh PC . Internet Explorer and Flock open fast and the XP theme looks good to me considering the processor percent free I got by the uninstall of this vista transformation pack . It is just a ( Performance via Look ) as HellFire121 said . I dont know if you find all these clock , calender , RSS reader , weather , download and upload meters , counters , number of whatever dispaly and a remote control for my windows media player which cost me about 50 to 60 % of my PC speed . and all these will not be show when you open a web or a program .. hazemmostafa

couldn't find it then "Unidentified network, local only". So, being a believing soul, I
downloaded and installed SP3 on the XP machine. Result? Now not only can I still not get rid of ....

Problems Installing Vista
(14) I just got a hold of Vista from my friend. He downloaded it from the Microsoft site and burned it on

only been giving me headaches. I've been getting all kinds of errors...most likely related to
the amount of disk space I allocated for the install or the memory assigned. Well, I gave it all I
got today. I set VMware to give it 15GB of hard drive space and 512MB of memory. It seems to work.
Got up to the copying files and after a short file it gave me an error code 800....
Pen Drive Ram On Windows Vista
Features on Windows Vista (13) I recently viewed the homepage of Windows Vista on Microsoft's site. It says that Windows
Vista can use a pen drive (USB 2.0) as additional RAM to speed up the memory. My question
is that we use RAM because the hard disk is SLOW. We do have a swap file, but we don't use it
much because it slows down performance! So, how can it be that the USB Pen drive be as fast as the
RAM? Its max. speed is just 153.3kbps So won't that be slow too? How can that act as additional
RAM? Is Microsoft trying to fool innocent buyers? This is outrageous! -O....
