It's always good to make a backup/ghost an image before proceeding with all these. In the event of mishap, you can easily restore

aww.. someone should gave a warn about this somewhere in the guide. LOL

ahh.. guess, if anything happens, I'll just repair it then.

following this guide is much safer than installing VTP. seriously.

I just installed VTP 8.0.1 and pretty good I'd say. It's not very buggy and I've changed the sidebar to Samurize.

Actually its quite true. The new VTP 8.0 is "quite" safe because now you have better control over what you install. They let you choose one by one. But anyway I will be making a new cleaned up thread during my holidays in January so you guys be patient ya. I found some really cool apps that I havent updated in the 1st post yet

I've been using the latest VTP and I can say it's great. I manually updated some of the apps like ViStart, etc and so far very stable, not causing me much issues except boot up is slow

I need to do ghost my freshly installed Windows and do it again to see if it helps.

i just installed windows vista sidebar successfully in my windows xp, however, my weather gadget seems unable to work. It shows me only "Service not available". Anyone can help?

Walau.... This post so famous until reach 700++ post... But I rather mod it to Vista appearance since real Vista is eat much of resources.

GUYS..what tis the best vista tranform pack?

vtp or vista inpirat??

hmm.. do you set the setting in the weather widget? i think most of the weather widget may need you to specify the location of which you want to know about the weather.

Vista Inspirat FTW if you ask me.

Btw, the current VTP 8.0.1 doesn't patch uxtheme.dll if you updated to WinXP SP3.

thanx for wallpaper.. serchin for it and found it here

What's a good alternative to ViStart? Are there anything better than this?

Still, this thread is so popular, I think this thread should get pinned.

is very nice but comp will lack.

I wished it too... but sadly its not

It will not lag if you follow the FAQ part. My customization is clean and simple

No one replied so I guess to get the Vista start menu, I'll still need ViStart

i've installed VTP before bumping into this thread...
What a great thread it is!!!
i thought VTP is great enough, but there are lots more things that could be better than only installing VTP...

tqvm to J-Slade..
i also recommend this thread to be pinned!...

You've got the latest build for ViStart right? Actually ViStart is one of the best I've seen

The other alternative is Vista Start Emulator (VSE) but I haven't tried the latest version.

Added on December 21, 2007, 2:20 pmGuys. I know this thread is starting to slow down... but after this I want to make a new updated thread with all the files uploaded on Rapidshare then I can collect points and every month (hopefully) I will collect enough points and give away a free rapidshare premium account to the Best Vista Emulation on XP to LYN forumers. We can have like a monthly contest where you guys can post your screenshots.... apa macam? YOu think it is a good idea?
