    Uninstalled it. Still like the 98 look. :o

    So you use 98?

    If so I think a XP user would benefit the most, also 2days must be given to get used to.

    XP with classic view enabled. Really can't stand the XP start-menu (still).

    I'm going to give this one a go on one of my spare machines (just built another one ready for this out of spare bits).

    I'll be back (if I hit major prblems).
    How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

    I found that when installing untick the spare components by Yz and the other One where the name escapes my, dont install the toolbar, I think its three unticks at the bottom.

    Plus on that site they have some nice simple wallpapers aswell.

    I already figure that I will only install the basics (like I do with any OS). Anything else can be added afterwards once I've sussed out how the OS is going to react to me.

    I said that because as far as I can tell its a Install or Remove not an add remove components setup.

    I've moved all the Vista posts over to this thread and moved a lot of XP Themes Posts over hear. as both threads were a mixture of the two subjects

    I am using this CrystalXP instead of downloading the Beta Vista.
    I don't fancy my PC going on me!

    OK, a couple of questions:

    1) Is it possible to get any of the semi-transparency effects with the windows/start menu on this new-look like Win Vista is supposed to have?

    2) Why have so many of you suddenly switched to England flag avatars? :rolleyes: Oh wait it's probably because youo want to be just like me :cool: :p
    spacey :)
