  Vista Transformation Pack v8.0.1

Vista Transformation Pack v8.0.1
This is a complete transformation package to change the look of Windows XP into Windows Vista (Aero Glass). Not just a theme or visual style, it includes many third-party applications and addons to give you the Vista-esque sidebar, transparency, 3D-flip, logon, shutdown, sounds... everything.

Due to the number of system files changed by this pack, creating a Restore Point before installing is Highly Recommended.

Overview:

I’m pretty sure you must know and have seen Windows Vista before. It looks really nice for major GUI updates. Many people who have seen it wish to get Vista-style looks for their operating system. It might sounds stupid to say this since you all know what it is but just bear it

This program will transform your Windows user interface to ultimate Windows Vista alike looks that everyone will never notice it’s the same old Windows XP (or 2003)

Features:

Vista Transformation Pack will replace many of the resources in Windows XP/Windows Server 2003. It can change such things as:

Boot screen
Welcome Screen / Logon Screen
New msstyles files (visual styles)
New desktop and file icons
New toolbar icons
Progress Dialogs
Sounds scheme
System Tray icons
New Wallpapers
Windows Media Player Skins
And much more

This is great, but I am not able to get the side bar, it says click here if the object is working but it is not responding and I am getting the same message again and again, finally I had to kill the process (sidebar).
Can anybody help me with the side bar?

This works great on my laptop, i tried upgrading to Vista but none of my hardware worked after the upgrade, so i tried this and it's great. all my hardware works, it looks and acts just like Vista. all the sounds are cool and it's like i have a new laptop. Thanks.
