Erm, just for some clarifications. After I uninstall VistaMizer (Cos I forgot to do some backup...just incase ya =P), the folders and files spaces become very big. I mean, the gap between a file and another file is very width, so is there any way to solve this?


thanks...and this work GREAT!

Its a great program and makes my pc faster than ever...

Hello, I downloaded 2.5.2.0. But can't install it. Installation stops when "extracting required files" is at 49 %. Tried again. Now its at 52 %. Help

So far i dont have any problem with this ezcellent soft. and i believe there wont be any problem.

And believe its really good and it changes theXp pc to a vist pc in every aspect, even the system sounds.

Im happy with it!!!!

The only problem with the Vistamizer is the broken codes. When you try and click on the start menu it partially freezes, capturing the window you were previously in, and keeping a small section of the start screen on top, the other half behind other functioning windows. There is also another slight glitch with the start menu, at the very top, in the same column with options like Control Panel, My documents, My computer etc, a small black square appears. This may have just been my computer, but i had to change back to the XP theme, which i was quite upset about as the Vistamizer theme was so amazing.
Hopefully this glitch can be easily resolved.
Thanks,

A great effort, but unfortunately, it's a case of trying to ape someone you can never be. And remember, with the Vistamizer installed, your system will never be as fast as a virgin XP system. Practicality wins over looks, and sadly, not being an official Microsoft add-on, the Vistamizer is only reccomended for the really desperate for a poor man's version of Vista.

Yes the software looks great, works well and is easy to use. However. I have found issues that I think are intentional security breaches. There are small programs integrated in the software that download malicious applications to damage your system and hijack your computer then steal data and info from you. This software should ONLY be used if your PC is a stand alone and NOT connected to the net!!

This is great i always wanted a vista look!!! now i have it!!!!

It works fine dont wory just downlaod it and enjoj!!!!!

I liked It but It couldn't change the complets theme. Its name is not in the display properies, and the task bar is the same as of the XP and Didnot made much of the effects on anoother user of my computer. Please help.

I highly recemend this to everyone who wants xp to look like vista! Although I am using 256 mb of ram and it is ok but it is a little slow at startup. It really looks like vista. There are a few bugs. I have tried many themes and this one is the best. The best of all it is free!!!!!!!!! When I buld my next pc I wont get vista I will put xp in then I will download vistamizer!!!!!! I am using nvidia 6200 256 mb and it is just fine.

Definitely a great program! My computer still runs great and has the modern look of Windows Vista. Only thing that I have noticed this program is missing are the images on the start menu to the left of the Control Panel, My Recent Documents, etc. Everything else is fantastic! A program!

I don't agree with matt. It didn't slow my PC instead It made it faster....

I HAD NO PROBLEMS INSTALLING IT AND I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS, THANK YOU VERY GOOD JOB. IT TOTALLY CHANGE MY DESKTOP LOOK, I DIDNT WANT TO UPGRADE OR SPEND MONEY ON A VISTA UPGRADE, THIS ONE WORK GREAT. THANKS.....GOOD JOB. KEEP US POSTED WITH ANY UPGRADES. THERE ARE SOME ELEMENTS MISSING LIKE THE CLOCK, WEATHER. BUT HEY ITS FREE WE CAN ASK FOR EVERYTHING. GREAT JOB....THANKS AGAIN....

VIstamizer is a brilliant software great for those who dont want to buy vista and slow their computers. A word of advice before installing you may want to create a system restore point do this by : start>run>MSconfig>launch system restore>create system restore point.

Also I installed everything and removed the unwanted bits and bobs from my computer by deleting the unwanted files from my c: drive, where i installed it although some people may have second of third hard drives.

And dont worry its completely uninstallable.

9/10 made my computer look EXACTLY like vista perfection.

This software is great, easy to download, nice features and I love the sounds and the colors. Thanks a bunch.

Almost perfect...
It makes my original* windows xp service pack 3 into 95% looked-like windows Vista !!!
recommended for having a try on this software !!!

Good Job !!!
Well done !!!
Thanks !!!

Vista mizer est un logiciel super et fonctione sans problémes .Mais il faut supprimer le winflip .Pour l\'installer correctement , il faut le redemarrer 2 fois (1 fois lors de l\'installation et une 2éme fois lors du redemarrage ).EXCELLENT 5/5.
Mon ordinateur est un XP Home familiale, SP3 ,1024 mémoire , pentium 4 , 2.80ghz .
Chapeau pour son créateur !

Vistamizer will beat the shareware application for computing style...
I think it's so useful to us, in Indonesia because if we don't have enough money to buy Vista, we can use Vistamizer as an alternative...

Thank U...I will support u everyday

Excellent. Good idea.

I am brazilian, and i like the vistamizer.

aproved.

i used vistamizer.

This program is god....I had a bit of an issue with the extra apps at first, such as the styler and the clock (ended up just not installing the extra apps in the end) but honestly after installing vistamizer, my laptop runs all of its programs so much more smoother and yes...FASTER....(I have winxp home edition service pack 2)
So easy to both install and uninstall without leaving your comp a total confused mess.....
Definitely recommend this above all of those other supposed "Vista transformation" packages out there, or the individual stylers,but only if you're simply looking to upgrade the look and feel of your pc to that of vista without all of the real Vista's supposed.."issues"....

very good and the best

Excellent program 1 i would like to begin by thanking to the developer Mr. Hoefs.
I had an issue after installing the version 1.6.3, it would make some of my nVidia Control Panel menus disappear. I will now test this 2.5.0 version and post same feedback afterwards.
Finally I would like to say that I would be more than happy to make a donation to maintain the continuous development of this program, and if there are any doubts, no I'm not the author !.
Does Mr. Hoefs have an homepage ?!!

Thanks once more to Mr. Hoefs

I was skeptical before installing it after reading all the reviews. I decided to put it on my laptop first. Install went easy and had no issues. I like the look of Vista but can't stand the resources that are used to run it...this is a great option. VistaMizer does take a few resources and I don't can for the widgets an flip thing...just disable them and you're fine.
After system loads and settles down...it runs smooth. I'm happy with it...GREAT JOB!! XP Home 2002 SP3

Jaya: Have you tried to download it from the romanian servers?

actually its a good piece of software

For the price (FREE) this is an excellent program. It had a few bugs in it in the past, but what program including the REAL VISTA or XP didn\'t. Talking abou the Real VISTA, it sucks compared to this. When you put the Vistamizer extra App\'s in, forget about Glass and the side bar, but put in the Icons and etc in.

I loved the look of the vistamizer but for some reason, I couldn't get online until I uninstalled it.

Beware of XP Autoupdate. So yes I went for all the options including changing the boot up screen and everything. Next thing Windows Autoupdate kicks in and starts undoing some of the stuff done by Vistamizer. Downloading and installing 90 updates. So I waited....and waited...until eventually the updates had finished. I reinstalled Vistamizer again and again a little yellow shield appeared telling me that updates were available. I turned off Autoupdate and reset it to ask first before installing. I denied the update. All is well.

Yep Vistamizer is a nice piece of kit.

Vista Mizer is a wonderful software, I really can't live without it,, u download it and in 5min whole the appearance of computer change,, u just feel like u bought a new one,, it’s really wonderful,, I suggest everyone to start download it. Only one note for the developers of this software, keep working on it,, specially the appearance of (Start menu) it still doesn't look as same as the real Vista,, keep working on it,, thanks

The conscept of making Windows Xplook like is the simplest and better way to Impress your budy. My old Systemdo not support Windows VIstaalthough my friend know it he found the new look and the color combination in my system and shocked that it is not like a normal one, ofcource i later i explain him about the Vista Themewich was Downloade fromVistamiser

does anyone notice the trend with AVG anti-virus?

90% of the time on reviews its avg users who claim something is a virus, no one else and AVG has the lowest detection rate of even the other 2 main free av's AntiVir and Avast.

so why is it the AVG ones always find something the others dont? its cause most of what they find arent actually viruses its something unknown. most good anti virus software flags unknown viruses as unknown or generic.

not avg, all things not in its virus database(which is smaller then AntiVir and Avast) is a virus to them. if they had a good virus database as well as a good whitelist they wouldnt have these probs.

lesson in all this is if u use an inferior product u will get burned because it will detect a lot more that arent viruses and fewer that are actual viruses.

This is a super effort causing fantastic effect. For a person using XP (not worked with vista GUI) However i find my graphic slowing down a bit. I have a PIV 1.8 Gig and 512 RAM and nvidia Graphic card.

Great work keep it up.

it had a strange problem with start menu or glass2k i had to reinstall windows :(

Here is something weird. First. I had to go into safe mode to install it. Without that I kept getting error messages. Then I got it installed. Here is the weird thing: In WIn XP I had found out how to go into regedit and change an attribute in the CLSID folder and presto! I could rename my recycle bin. Did that in the Explore mode. But, now, with Vistamizer, the garbage bin is renamed to what I had earlier chosen, but the option to rename, is no longer there.
Here is what I had changed in Attributes:binary value from 40 01 00 20 to 70 01 00 20. It is still changed, but the rename option is clouded over.
Anyone with any ideas?

All I wanted was the Vista taskbar and visualtasktip thumbnails without slowing my machine down. Vistamizer fit the bill perfectly. I have what I want, my machine still runs crisply and I loved the option to switch all the other 'options' off.

Super! Latest version (2.5.1.0) seems to have fixed some "relocated DLL" errors! While the "true transparency" does not duplicate Vista's "blur" effect, it runs a whole lot faster on my 1.8Ghz laptop. I've used Vista, and I have upgraded to "Vistamized" XP!

It looks nice, but listen to the people that tell you not to install the optional crap. My AVG Anti-Virus detected a virus in one of the optional programs right after install.
