Hi Pizzaboy.

When I just installed the pack from crystalXP I was asked about Outlook Express and Internet Explorer (tick boxes) as I didnt want any changes to these two programs, what changes would of taken place if I had ticked them and not unticked them.

Cheers.

i dont use outlook and ive never had a problem with ie so im not sure to be honest.

you can get the vista beta if your a msdn subscriber,which im not unfortunatly

Is it possible to uninstall this vista look, if it isn't to my liking??

Actually with any of the stuff ont he crystal site can it be easily removed to restore the win xp look or does it write-over the xp fiels?

HI.

I installed it lastnight and yes its very easy to uninstall if you want to as its listed in, Start, All programs and an Uninstaller is shown.

This is now what my PC looks like

I did however find that wallpaper independent of the pack, but on the same site as where you get the download.

Or a restore will work easily.

So you like then Quincy? There are MANY Wallpaper on the site.

Oooh Oooh I love it, just makes the PC look classy and animated desktop Icons when double clicked and also the scrolling dock at the top is such a massively good idea and yes a bag load of wallpapers on that site, or just get wallpaper from anywhere as normal.

Did you see my PC look?

I did yes Looks good, Abit too Black though i think...needs abit of the new Vista bright colours

Ugh the black background :eek: otherwise I guess it's ok - takes some getting used to then?? Does it change any of the icons or what on your desktop or was yours that clean before install??

I will get a screenshot of where my Icons are, hang on a mo.

Here they are.

And it dis change the folder Icons but not the stuff within the folders so no big folder changes at all really and very easy to revert back.

Looks ok actually - I presume if I uninstall it will restore things how they were before??

So is it the vista inspirat 1.1 that you used? I've just completed the download and ready to install...

Can't wait till it's working properly in 2007 with no bugs etc
