are you telling about Vista --shell32.dll or in windows XP . hi i meant a customized shell32.dll for vista sp1 for better GUI. there are quite few on the net, but they are old ones for RTM (non sp1 version) check these links out http://www.aeroxp.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10796 http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12416 thanks

Hi any chance of a sp1 patched "shell32.dll" ?

hi can you please upload a patched "imageres.dll" so i can mount my vista dvd and replace it with a working patched file. so on install first boot up, i will have the new icons. i did try the patch, but it did not work, i also deleted the iconcache.db as well, but no luck (am using vista sp1 x86) thank you Edit: imageres fully working now. thanks for your imageres patcher. did not work before, because i never committed the vista dvd change when unmounting. thanks

hi how do i install the new icon. i mounted my vista (SP1 x86) install.wim and copy and replaced the downloaded file to "system32" overwriting the original one, and then i commit and unmounted it. installed it on vmware, but no special icons, everything same. how do i get it to show the new icons please help thanks in advance

thanks for your help, i did copy (to sysytem32 under server) and register msdvbnp.ax "regsvr32 /s msdvbnp.ax" from a Vista machine, but still no luck. i installed the latest web release directx 9c, but my dvbviewer tv app cannot find my device although it appears on system device list with no conflict

How do you measure better? Is it faster? Any tests? From what I've seen on the Web (which need not necessarily be true) XP is faster than Vista on same hardware (either new or old). GL yes true, either old or new pc, for raw speed xp is faster. the only way to measure speed is by benchmarking, but thats long. from what i've read from website reviews is that vista is more responsive and runs more smoothly than xp, and in my experience thats exactly what it does. the only downside of vista is gaming performance and some application compatibility which is going to be improved for sure with future patches. also remember after xp sp3 MS will drop support for xp sooner or later, which means clearly vista is the way forward as it has improved with sp1, and do expect more improvement in future, specially on compatibility and performance side. check this link out http://wannabegeek.org/index.php/Vista/Vis...-86-faster.html

with sp1 now available for vista, vista looks and feels more better than xp, only problem is file copying is still a pain, and improves with sp1 only by a little margin, apart from that, its performs and responses better than xp, unless your on a old basic pc spec, then do expect sluggish performance as vista requires more power. (new os = more processing and memory)
