no problem man, i hope you like it damian666

new update, check first post for new link and changelog. damian666

First post updated with new version. check changelog there... damian666

Well bruce, and marxo, i can only say ouch... that is a long list man... i didnt say it was perfect man. its a work in process. Marxo, as i said before, suprise me with a nice sysdm. and we will see what the users say about it. i will use a poll to see what they want. #1 is not in the browseui, as far as i know. looks more like comctl, i am looking in to that. i had that report earlyer, but i cant find the f***... #2 will check those icons. #3 allready fixed. #4 sydm, yeah i know... #5 that sometimes happens, i dont know what to do about it, any ideas? #6 will check it out, at least that speaker graphic is wrong, it should be patched... #7 sorry man, but for me that icon is animated... about the color, mabe thats better yes... #8 skin not made for 4 buttons, anyone know how to? Thanx for the bugreports, i like it..., after i swallowed it down damian666

hi thomas, well to be bold with you, yes thats normal... its a beta program, and it its far from perfect... thats why its not installed default... And about the package, well it is fixed for the next version so... That wil be done too. And about the smaller size, upx man all for the smaller installer size Damian666

i have to agree with Marxo, (again), it is not smart to put all kind of software in the pack. firstly, it will fill the mb's up, which i dont like... secondly, i want the software to be compatible with 2000 and xp at the same time. so sorry man, but this is not going to happen. sory dude

Amen brother.

well, thats what i said, its f***ed to do it with nsis. and about thoseapps, i dont want to flood the pack with all kind of software. but its a nice thought. thanx Damian666

thanx for the bugreport dudes, and dudettes. @ mara, i ill check those bugs , thanx for telling me. check it out for the next version damian666

hi there, well ofcourse its possible... only thing i need to know is if you aply the visual style. because thats were the buttons are at you know. not only in the resources. i will check it out, maybe marxo can help me? For the ones that wanted tclock3, "Thomas", check out the first page for the link. its a silent, self extracting rarfile, which after extraction enables you to install tclock3 with all things ready. just install it from the vistaoack GUI. Then it will run on startup, or if you execute it from the install dir which is in programfiles. the clock will dissapear and you wil see a little notch thats left there. right click it, and open the settings. then load settings and choose the settings language thats for YOUR language. and then press apply or ok... finished. hopefully this will work for you guys, for me it does... have a good new year everybody!! Damian666

i am glad i could help dude, thats why i made that secret key, its a failsave key!! Only us eit in a emergency. like you had... tclock 3 huh? well, i dont advise it if you dont know what you are doing. but you could install it, run it and then open it to play with some features, first enable ful skinning. BUT, i will create a vistastyle pack for it and then will give link on first page. with some explanation. get it friday ok? i forgot to put it in the pack again doh!!! so look sharp for friday ok? damian666

man, you f***ed it up good... listen up, the only thing i think you can do is getting in the register no need to panic, just go to "Hkey_local_machine\software\filepatcher. there you see the key "filesize" delete it. then run the reloader. if this does not work, open the gui of the pack and press the "break" button on your keyboard. close the gui and reopen it, and you will see the installer screen, install as usual. let me know man i am here till 2:00 o'clock damian666 good luck

@ thomas, you dont have to force anything man... it wiull patch them just right. you could try disabling windows file protection, but it is not really needed. and vistamizer??? not mine

well, i have the nt4 iso, but well stupid qestion, but how to get the bootsector? there are several ways but which is the prevered? let me know man damian666

thanx man, i am sure i can use them. and i will, and about Tclock3... well, its not for nothing that its called beta dude i will fix it in the next release... damian666

well, thats not really true man, i use nt4 for testing purposes and because i am involved in the nt4vu project, a visual upgrade project for nt4. so i am really not only academic interested, but because i need it... so want me to install nt4 then? i got it running in a vm allready... the only drawback is that i dont have net at home. so i can only talk with you guys here on my work, 3 days a week... so maybe its better to do it yourself? let me know man damian666

ok, so anyone has soem news about this? i am looking for a way to integrate the servicepack myself without that last step so... i really want to know man anyone? damian666

@ softpedia, ok now i got it man. Thanx again dudes and maybe dudettes. At the moment i dont have a main host, so i am very glad with you guys damian666

hi xibad, long time no see man, try the softpedia links man. http://www.msfn.org/board/ipb_seo.php?url=...Vistapack.shtml there you can get it now. we should talk soon man damian666

hi guys, thanx for all the replies dudes. i really apriciate it. @newstylist, so if i get you straight, that hapens when you uninstall the pack? that is weird because on uninstallment the pack only copies a backup into your system, which is not modified... so that is weird... that should mean its a bug in the backup file??? but that cant be if you didnt had it before... hmm... i am in the dark here, are those the only icons that are not correct? let me know ok? to fix it you could take the shell32 file out of your windows cd and then use replacer to replace the wrong file with the fresh one. Replacer Hopefully it wil be fixed then. @softpedia, thanx a lot man!!! i really am proud to have that on your pages!!! but i didnt get your email so couldyou please send it again? check my profile for my email adress. thanx again. @nuno brito, thanx for the thoughts man, i think i can get those tabs out of there. i will try man, thanx. and the setup files patcher is allready there dude. or o you mean a silent install of the pack itself? Because that option is still on the way. @ kels, thanx for testing man. again... it looks a lot better that sysdm of yours, but i have to rethink my strategie with that file. As marxo said, it looks like crap on the other tabs man. BUT i do like the main tab myself... so any thoughts? i cant make up my mind... and check that new replacer man. hopefully it will work now. i did that reboot button thing you asked for... Thax for all the replies dudes. damian666

Thanx, let me know what you think and\or any bugs ok? damian666

well, you could always try the vistapack for xp. that is rather nice, imho!!! And not just because i make it, but because of the number of files that are patched. you could check it out... damian666

Vistapack 2.4 The new version has arrived!! Description: The Vistapack is made to transform your old and boring Windows 2000 rig in a modern looking and feeling OS. Safety: It takes the files from the host, backs it up, modifies a sample and puts the modified file back in the system. This ensures that you are using the latest files so no need for alerts like "Now I am using an old file, what if its updated by m$? Then i will be open for attack..." Nope, no need to worry. You keep the updated file. The pack uses ResHacker to change icons, bitmaps and some dialogs, to make it look like the new Windows Vista! Its rather safe in my opinion, but of course there are some risks when you modify system files. This is at your own risk!!! But no need to worry, there are few bugs that cause your pc not to boot or something. Personally i did not had that happening here. Of course, when you don't like it, you can uninstall the pack like any other software. Send me the bugs you find or some remarks, just let me know. greets damian666 Changelog: What's New in Vistapack 2.4 - 2000 version ===================================================== Release of new website!!!
