Uxtheme Patch For Vista SP1

Posted by Joel 1 April, 2008 (38) Comment

After the release of Vista SP1, the theme functionality totally died off. A new UX theme patch was required as the old one completely stopped working. Until now all the people who used Vista SP1 editions other than Ultimate and Home premium were left with no other theme than Microsoft’s plain not so good looking Vista Basic theme.

Stop worrying, because a blogger named Rafael has released a UX theme patch that really works in Vista SP1, Although there were other patches released that needed a lot of tinkering as well as some of them needed you to press F8 and startup with other options which was quite annoying, this on the other hand does not need any of those, and works perfect.

Cleanup unneeded files after Vista Sp1 installation

Posted by blacknoise 23 March, 2008 (3) Comment

Vista

When Vista Service pack 1 is installed it backups your old system files so you are able to uninstall Sp1 later without any problems. If you are satisfied with Sp1 and don’t feel like reverting back then you can easily delete the old backup files safely by using a program that was installed just to do this.

This doesn’t involve any editing or changing registry or files within windows (so its very safe and easy to do)

Windows Vista SP 1 RTM available for MSDN and Technet subscribers

Posted by Joel 18 February, 2008 (3) Comment

Although SP1 for Windows Vista was finalised more than a week ago, Microsoft is still tentative about its general release. Only large PC vendors, customers with volume licences and registered beta testers were initially given access to the final version. SP1 is only scheduled to appear for manual download at the download center from about mid March. Original plans were that MSDN and Technet subscribers should also wait until then, but this caused major protests. Microsoft has now yielded to the criticism (“We heard you.”) and has made SP1 available for download on MSDN and Technet (access requires valid account).
