Install Vista XP

Today, I'm going to show you how to make Windows XP look like Windows Vista!

I don't recommend this for people with limited computer knowledge. It can be pretty confusing.

This is my first instructible, but I'll try to be as thorough as possible.

DISCLAMER:
I did not make ANY of this software, nor have I claimed to. I am not responisble for any damage done to your computer because of Virus, Spyware, or any other reason. This guide is for instructional purposes only.

NOTE:
I will remove this Instructable (or add credit) if the ceators of these programs request.

Step 1 Programs

This guide will show you how to install the following programs:

ViStart
ViOrb
WinFlip
Windows RTM Sidebar + Vaio XP
Vista Aero Cursors
Windows Vista Login
Vista Fonts
TransBar

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

Alright, I did everything, but how do you install more gadgets to the sidebar? Plz help!

OK, now I think that revengexx14's instructable is a very good one, although there are better ones, like fediaFedia's or my tutorial. WindowsBlinds is a great app indeed, but with the trial you're hopeless because you need WB Enchanced to enable transparency. Vista customization packs like BricoPack Vista Inspirat are DANGEROUS because they patch system files, especially Vista Transformation Pack. They can harm your computer. Don't ever install them. What I DO recommend is to download this package or mine and follow the instructions. P.S. To the author: The YAFVC3 visual style is a bit outdated, and it looks like Vista Beta. There's a better one called VistaVG Ultimate which looks perfectly like the Vista RTM. Download it here.

Well done, revengexx14! I have my own XP->Vista tutorial myself. You can view it here.

[Steamdnt]

It would be easier to use WindowBlinds.

[junits15]
