With VistaMizer you can transform your Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003 into the look of Windows Vista. Therefore nearly 400 files with new Icons, pictures as well as videos are modified. This means that VistaMizer does not provide own files and change your system files. That has the advantage that VistaMizer works with each language and no changes of the language specifics are made. The installer is so developed that you have completely the change which will be modified and which not. Even if you select files, which are possibly not at all on your system available or not compatible, the application recognizes this and jumps over these. This ensures that the system does not become unstable because of wrong modification. After updates if your system data are overwritten, then a renewal of these is possible by using an extra program that is linked by the VistaMizer. The application examines thereby, which files are updated and re-modify only these. This means a very fast re-modification and it is always the current data in the Backup. However if the result of the installation should not assure to you, you have the possibility to get back the old system by an un-installation. If newer files are already present in the system by updates, this is recognized by the un-installer and only the modified files will be replaced.

Problem - Reboots after installation of VistaMizer 3.0.0.0
After the installation of VistaMizer 3.0.0.0 the compute reboots always after showing the bootscreen. How can I solve this problem?
You use Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or older, there the user32.dll makes trouble after modifying. You have to replace the modified c:\windows\system32\user32.dll with the backuped version in c:\windows\vistamizer\old\user32.dll by using a live cd otherwise you have to do reinstallation, sorry!

Install all current Windows Updates, specialy the KB971029, after this the problem is solved.

Evertime I try to install VistaMIzer it stops and hang. How can I solve this problem?
This can have different options:

Windows Updates replaced the modified files of VistaMizer to get back the Vista-Design please use the link "Data Rebuild" to modify the current files again. After a restart everything should be in the Vista_Design again.

After the installation of VistaMizer the extra applications like the Sidebar or the transparent effect is not visible. How can I activate this?
Since verion 3.0 of VistaMizer the extra applications are separated from the VistaMizer and available as the ExpansionPack.

Install this application again or do a reparation of it. If it still not work, deactivate the extra tools, which you have installed with VistaMizer.
Problem - The text or icons in the Startmenue is not complete
After the installation of VistaMizer I have a problem with the startmenue. Some of the icons or the text is not complete. How can I solve this?
Since version 3.3.0.0 there is a second theme available, which support 48px icons. So please change yourself the theme to VistaMize48 if you have changed the icon size.
Problem - In the Startmenue on the upper right is only a black box
After installation of VistaMizer I do not see my userpic on the upper right only a black box. How can I solve this?
This problem is only when you have activated the alternative (classical) logon, please change back to the standard XP logon and your userpic is back.
Problem - Setup stopps during extraction
During the installation of VistaMizer the setup stopps by the extraction, even after waiting longer then 30 minutes. How can I solve this?
This problem actually occurs only when the icon size of "Properties -> Display -> Appearance -> Advanced" has been changed. Set it back to the default value of 32 and the setup should work as usual.
