you should search for Vista Transformation Pack...
Really cool... looks really like windows vista, doesnt slow down the system, u wont have to install any other software to run it...

 

[etho11]

thanks but it is pretty big file 30 mg

But its absolutely worth it. You can customise so much that a person cant tell at first look what is it !

 

[Abhas]

it contains everything... boot screen, logon screen, wallpapers, screensavers, sounds, cursors, the startmenu is very vista like, and also, transparency (which can be incorporated by installing a software called glass2k...search on google.. very small file <100kb) i love the transformation pack, and i am currently using the same...

yeah, the transformation pack is really good. you can also get other good themes at crystalxp.net. they sort of look a bit vista-ish and are pretty good.

I've just got the Vista start menu.

Just google uxtheme.dll and download it.
Paste that into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

Then download http://www.deviantart.com/view/27363349/

i used Vista transformation pack, but then after none of my browsers would load any webpage, one time, even my wireless internet wouldn't connect, something to do with D-Link,

it is a decent pack though :hpraise

What do I do once I have them two files above? I've never done this to my PC before so....

right if i remember properly, your going to need a replacer to replace the old uxtheme with the new one, http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/ . You will need to run the replacer and drag the new file into the program. Then it will replace it and i think you can keep the old one just in case something goes wrong.

Then once you have the old uxtheme one replaced, a pop up will come up saying 'OH NO A UNRECOGNIZED VERSION OF A FILE IS HERE, XP WILL EXPLODE IF YOU CARRY ON!' just ignore it and click cancel otherwise XP will just undo what you did.

YOU MUST RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AT THIS POINT!

Then, just simply place the theme into WINDOWS>Resources>Themes. I think thats how you do it. If not, i'm terribly sorry lol

The most common problem iv seen is svchost using like 200MB RAM and 100% CPU for ages lol. But still its rare.

 

[aussie1st]

Yea the replacer is what you need, I had the same problem took me a few goes before it finally worked.

Man I still cant do It...I dont get why I have to replace the uxtheme.dll
