there's a software call window blinds that uses graphic card performance instead of computer performance to theme os, therefore it doesn't slows down computer but it improves.

i think it depends on how your vista transformation pack works.. where you got that from?

If I'm not mistaken Vista Transformation Pack 8 is made for SP2 only, but many users claim that it works without a problem on their SP3. However, many also complained that it does not work on SP2 and SP3.

SP3 is actually quite a minor patch, mostly security and bug fixes that you may not realize. It does not slow down or speed up your computer but may make some programme to work or to not work.

Yeah, but it's actually not really a big deal. Considering the fact that you get to admire at the beauty of your desktop everytime you use the computer. rclxms.gif

The same old XP theme really is very very dull and boring =_="

If you guys are afraid of explorer crash and problems, try Zune desktop theme. Been using it for over a year without problem, because it is made by microsoft.

Added on October 11, 2008, 6:56 pm--To Make VTP works in your SP3--[COLOR=red][SIZE=7]

OK, here it goes, I just telling on the method which works for me:

After installing your SP3, check for your SP3 version in My Computer, like mine is v.3264, then go to the link below to search for your Uxtheme.dll:
http://www.withinwindows.com/uxtheme-patches/


Go to download Replacer, a software to switch the old version of your Uxtheme.dll with the new one and follow its steps:
http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/

After that, install your VTP and reboot as well, dadang!!! It back to your Vista feel even in SP3!!! Try and see... smile.gif
