Discard Vista?

by ChrisKuhli (Posted Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:13:30 GMT)
I'm the craziest man in the house i think because now i've an 7UltimateX64 added

Win7Codecs helps out of multimedia garbage problems...

And the best is - my cpu is used even of single core used better

Much faster as it was before in the X86 Seven!

Now the Vista will only be reside in virtual machines of VPC or vbox.

Hint to admins: As i discard to boot Vista directly there might be an idea to close the thread but you should decide self after little delay without replies to this post

Windows2000 Royale - wanted?

XP era icons aren't really my taste...

Although if you do try to port the visual style, I'd recommend using TrueTransparency for window borders, and SmoothText for buttons, radio buttons, and all that jazz.

VistaGlazz replaced your patched Aero visual style to allow maximized window transaprency. It doesn't patch the existing style, it replaces it. re-apply the transparency force patch.

Disable Blur in Aero

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:59:05 GMT

by ThMage (Posted Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:59:05 GMT)
Great! Quick question (I'm on my Vista boot or else I'd try it myself): does it also disable the force blur on the taskbar? I've had a major problem with that in the past, I have some ideas for themes, but the blur on the taskbar is killing it.

[Tip] Choosing next OS in bootmgr (bcdedit + shutdown/r)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:53:15 GMT

by ChrisKuhli (Posted Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:53:15 GMT)
You want choose which OS should be loaded after reboot, instantly and scriptable?

First we need to prepare some batch files.

1. Start a CMD.exe as Administrator, and load "bcdedit /enum > bootmgr.txt":
Every entry in the bootmanager has an ID in the "{}" brackets - we need every one.
2. Open the textfile we created.

3. Now create e.g. a batch "Vista.cmd":

Code:: bcdedit /default� {56a9f360-c62d-11de-a127-8ecbcebd058d} shutdown /r /t 10 /c "In ten seconds we will reboot to Windows Vista"

4. In the neighbour Windows we see the ID of our Windows 7, where we create our "Windows7.cmd".

You see, its only the "default" setting. Btw don't forget you need administrator privileges for running the batch files!

Nice bump... don't do that, you'll get your [censored] banned.

to answer your question: If the drivers don't support it, you pretty much can't enable it, without killing your hardware. even further with it being in a VM, it's more difficult.

Just wait a while... If you want Aero so bad, use the other drivers.

Daedalus Service - Alpha Blending Icons

Yes, I am using 2000. After looking closely at the screenshot, I notice that the ProcessExplorer icon is, in fact, not actually 32-bit. It just looked like it on my high density screen.

However, I do maintain that the eBoostr Control Panel is 32-bit blended:

by fredpsycho83 (Posted Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:24:20 GMT)
i'm using an extracted DISM version of Windows 7 RTM

and using imagex and then using DISM works, so how was it possible for me to do a complete unattend version of Windows 7, i have fomated my pc with it and i'm using it right now ...

the problem is a corruption of dism ... not a command itself ... commands works fine, but not on a Win7 OS ...

i run my batchs under a Vista VMware, it worls perfectly, i think i will have to use it by this way ...
