There are a few things that are free out there, one specifically titles "Vista Transformation Pack" if you wanted to make your computer look sort of like Vista...

Here is a good one that just changes the menu appearance

This is a good one to check out as well

this is the one i used on my desktop icons and visual styles, they are free..

donwload xp style software here, http://www.tgtsoft.com/index.php
this is the one you will need to configure your visual style settings, icons, cursors, etc.

then choose and download different visual styles, icons, and cursors here http://www.themexp.org/

hope this helps ;)

well as far as programs go to change everything you have to pay for windowsblinds  :o so im on a 60 day trial which sucks...



Changeing my icons is so hard to do , because again you have to pay for the program to inhance your computer ....

Be prepared to have machine issues with Window Blinds...

I use Window Blinds...so far no issues...I pay for it, however.  I also use other programs from Stardock.

Sorry you didn't like it, Tony.

There is a lot of free stuff out there...Good luck and enjoy!

well its the same with me and bricos packs here http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/num.130.htm , chris told. me No disrespect to him , that it can cause problems but i have had none , so im gunna go ahead and install a better one , im getting vista soon anyway , and a new motherboard lmao one that supports 4 gb of ram so i can run vista smoothley..... its not that i didnt like it, i just seem to worry to a lot about my computer and patio worried me a bit lol and i dont want anything to go corup on my computer , and i would be  more than happy to pay for a service like windowsblind but im sure i can find a nice free one that will suite my needs , thanks steve. :)
