I've pretty much got the Vista look now. Using the Vista Transformation pack for the icons and start menu and now finding a tool that makes the start menu look like Vista I've got it all. Only problem is it is a beta and it doesn't stay as your theme.

I've tried adding the exe to my startup items but there is a pop up that keeps appearing after applying this patch and I'm still yet to restart so will have to see.

Anyway here is the link to the tool to do this.

you can always disable UAC in vista if its troubling you so much.Vista does run games slowly on nvidia cards coz of the nvidia driver issue. dont know how the games perform on ati cards
 
From what i infer nvidia must be working on the drivers and will soon release stable drivers.

naughty torrent users are we sylvie ? :D:D:D:D:D:D

if u are naughty torrent users, then u would have found more than transformation packs.
eg: a friend of mine modded his XP setup disk to great lengths. now this 2+gb XP setup has all the drivers, apps and utilities. optimised for max performance.and installs more quickly than normal XP. oho, did i tell u that it looks absolutely like vista?? ;)

then i found out that packs like these are always avalible on net. much more professional.

I have developed one on my own which will deploy on any machine in 15 minutes to the XP Desktop, might still need some drivers to be installed on Laptops.
 
Like aussie1st I also have the Vista Transformation Pack. A different one but, I downloaded it from some site, 26megs. I only have this pack because I don't wanna "Upgrade" to Vista just yet after hearing all the annoying, weird and stupid stuff it does. Iam with my XP with a Vista look.Its mad! Have a Geez below!

Btw: aussie1st (...Or Slyvester:p) love all the torrent applications:spy lol

No, it's perfectly fine. If you don't download the wrong stuff your safe. Take note it's Limewire Pro!
 
Hey Hooper, your transformation pack looks and sounds the same as the one that Sylvester has. Where did you get yours??
Limewire Pro?? I found it quite ludicrous that you can download some of the latest versions of Limewire Pro version only by searching google.

EDIT: Here is a WMP 11 skin for those with WMP 10. It's called Windows Media Player Codename "Eclipse". I attached a screenshot from my computer for an example:

But why do you need a skin like WMP 11 when you can download it for free?
 
Exactly. It looks exactly the same and is a free down loadable program.
