Changed again !!

It's resized to 50% of proper size so it may fit better on screens which aren't 24" widescreen.
I hate cluttered desktops so hide all the icons and I also change the picture very regularly as I get bored of the same one.

The problem with threads like this, is that someone always forgets to remove the donkey pron directory, then before you know it - the whole of the www is signing up for accounts to slate them

also... a suprising amount of Vista users heh.

I see some of you have ~Vista~

Would you guys recommend getting it?

If you have a GeForce 7 Series (maybe others, couldn't say), for me it's a no

Drivers are just no good!

Quite impressed by it when it works (which in fairness is about 98% of the time), but don't expect miracles if you have a P4..... mine struggles a little at times with 2 GB RAM (I have Graphics and Sound Hardware to help the CPU anyway!). Quite good, and quite slick but a resource hog no doubt! (Home Premium)

How are you getting XP to look like Vista?

I'm using LastXP, it's just a fancy version of XP with a load of tweaks and software.

Sorted.
Final problem... AVG won't load now.
On startup it's saying a DLL is already using the same space or sommat and AVG won't work properly.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and its the same:@

I had that problem too, but it seemed to fix itself or disappear after restarting a couple of times

So eventually it did load?
At the moment it's not there at all and won't open the control centre if I click on it :@

no probs here with Vista transformation pack and AVG.

I took off the VTP after a while. Kept the icons etc, but the sidebar is pretty useless tbh. Even better standalone versions are still not that useful imo.
Got 10 copies of Vista here, and can't bring myself to keeping it on until they sort out the drivers properly. Fine on a boggo system, but when you have lots of third party pieces of hardware, it's annoying.
XP is much faster as well
