Hello Andre,
Thank you for replying. I have tried registering the DLLs but it keeps throwing out error messages stating:
"The module [DLL name] failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found."

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to get Windows Vista's version of Windows Defender running in Windows 7? I do not like 7's version as it removed too many features. Having the "old" version would make the experience in 7 more enjoyable for me.
Thank you all for your time.
EDIT: I copied the Windows Defender folder from the Program Files directory in Windows Vista, and placed it in the Windows 7 folder of the same name.
There is only one issue... It cannot check for updates. Error code 0x80040155.

Hello,
I once had a similar problem. Fix It would not run for me, stating that a problem occurred and that I should try running it later.
The reason Fix It would not run is because the Windows Module Installer (or TrustedInstaller) Service was disabled... Maybe that is the case for you? I know it might be a long shot...

it means I have no idea why you can use the RTM picture
The code is still there but doesn't work.That's weird.
Thank you for looking into it, Andre.
I guess I'll have to use a program to change it back to the RTM one...

Win7 was compiled at 13th july 2009 (6.1.7600.16385.090713-1255). Only the announcement was made on 22th July 2009.
But, but...
Wikipedia states:
[emphasis mine]
"Microsoft announced that Windows 7, along with Windows Server 2008 R2, was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009. Windows 7 RTM is build 7600.16385.090713-1255, which was compiled on July 13, 2009, and was declared the final RTM build after passing all Microsoft's tests internally."

Happy Third Birthday, Windows 7!!!
Fun fact: This date is also when Longhorn was renamed as Windows Vista.

I've checked the code for RTM and Sp2 and have no idea why Vista no longer allows you to use custom pictures. The code in OslDisplayInitialize for RTM and Sp2 does the same and tries to load the osload800x600.bmp or osload1024x768.bmp from the WIM which is includes as a resource
:blink: :wacko: I am not quite sure what that meant.

A "nice" little translated article that explains how Metro is ugly.
That gorgeous picture of Windows Vista illustrates more than just beautiful UI design, it shows how Metro was designed by school children after lunch.

Hello,
I know the question may seem trivial, but I am wondering how to change the text color in the Windows 7 task pane? I'm trying to make it white.

Windows Vista ............ Windows 8 ............................. Files
What gives?
Why single out Vista RTM individually from SP1+? It's modern...ish. 0 -
I have a question regarding Shake, Peek, and Snap. What is the likelihood of those features remaining in RTM? I know they're still in the Release Preview, but with Microsoft's emphasis on Metro it makes me curious.

ok, I never realized this. I'll think about it and let you know
Andre,
If I may inquire.. Have you found anything?

It doesn't get much funnier than this ...
Microsoft's new tablet, Surface, freezes during presentation.
That's a link to the Wimp.com page with the FLV video. I'll try to embed it here ... Didn't work. You might want to save it in case it disappears (url)
Okay then, it is now also up at YouTube. This should embed here ...
The only thing that would have made that video better is if he had dropped it at 0:29.
I'm surprised he didn't!Windows 8 supposedly to be delievered to manufacturers in July
Perhaps with October GA? Like Windows 7...

Short answer - vLite will work on Win7 RTM but it will error and not work on Win7 SP1 (as integrated by MS).
Longer answer - It can be made to work on Win 7 SP1, IF you make your own Win7 SP1 in a certain way, but it's not for the faint of heart. You can do it, using freely available tools, but it's not just a click here and here and then you're done. I have repeated the simplified instructions, originally posted by trala, here - http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139874-guide-win7server-sp1-removal-with-vlite-and-rt-lite/page__view__findpost__p__998312, but I have not had anyone else admit they were successful following them. If you're willing to work through the issues, perhaps you would then be willing to write a better tutorial that others could follow?
Cheers and Regards
bphlpt,
Thank you for your reply.
I am "using" vLite on Windows 7 RTM.
And yes bphlpt, I would be willing to write a tutorial..

nothing happens
does this thing maybe need .net 3.5 to run ?
(tho I'm not getting any error messages)
regarding dependency walker
it reports ieshims.dll that file cannot be found
but i have it, even copied it to sidebar folder
tho I do have IE feature "uninstalled" via programs and features
I will remove IE on my Windows 7 installation and let you know if the Sidebar still works.
Vinifera,
It should be noted that ieshims.dll was also reported missing for me, but this is before I uninstalled Internet Explorer. Sidebar worked perfectly at that time.
It apparently does not work without IE. Upon removing IE, I execute Sidebar and nothing happens, though Task Manager states that it is running.
However, clicking "Gadgets" in the context menu on the desktop does work on my end. Could you try that and see if it works for you?

since i used rt7lite to customize my win7 install
seems I removed sidebar support as well
now I opened original install.wim and extracted back "sidebar" folder into program files
and registered back with regsvr32 both sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll
but I can't run sidebar.exe itself
it won't start at all
any cure ?
Dependency Walker log for Sidebar.exe (should be) attached.
EDIT: File will not upload.

1. I have a desktop that dual boots between Vista and 7. As soon as I can find a Windows XP retail disc for sale, it will soon be a triple-boot configuration.
4. I miss the ability to choose. XP is wonderful to me because it allows me to freely switch between the old and new, or mix the two. That and I absolutely love it's blue interface.

Yes it is possible. But... the age of your machine might be a good indicator of the probability you come across an additional hurdle or not.
If the PC is more than 4 years old, you have 50/50 chance that you can do it without having to provide drivers for the SATA controller.
If it is more recent, the chances increase that you will have to dig out those drivers.
-the drivers can be called "text mode drivers", "F6 drivers" or "floppy mode drivers" must come from the motherboard's manufacturer or from the controller's manufacturer (mainly Intel), NOT from the actual hard disk's manufacturer.
So 1st thing to check is if booting from the XP cd, your HDD (and possible partitions) is listed when asked where to install Windows. If not, you might have a 1st backdoor in Bios, where you might find a setting to turn the SATA controller to "compatible" or "IDE" mode. That is most probably in the advanced settings of your Bios. You won't loose anything from that change.
If still no luck (no such setting in Bios), you have two possibilities;
-load the drivers when XP boots (when it says "Press F6 to..") by providing them on a floppy (might be an usb floppy)
-rebuild your XP disc integrating those drivers with for instance a program like nLite.
--> try the easy ways first if possible.
Thank you, Ponch!
Very helpful and thorough.
The computer is from 2008 (no floppy drive)... Is it possible to load the drivers from anything else?

This woman ruined Windows and Office for me: http://windowmagazine.org/window/index.php?section=Stories&id=234 Can Gates please fire her along with Ballmer and Sinofsky?
Jenny Lam's better than her!
That is all.
On a side-note, I tried Windows 8 for the first time last week. CoffeeFiend, you were right. The drawbacks outweigh the benefits. For example, I hardly noticed the new copy/move interface.
While Metro wasn't bad with a mouse and keyboard (it was very responsive), it would be a waste of time learning how to use it.
