Make Windows Vista Looks Like Windows 7

Windows 7 is the next generation operating system by Microsoft.Windows 7 is now at beta stage and will be released at about year 2009-2010.
Now user can try the feeling using 'Windows 7' by changing the theme of Windows Vista.These are the steps.
Because Windows Vista doesn't allow user to use third-party theme,so user need to patch system files in order to use the third-party theme.User need to patch 3 system files to use third-party theme in Windows Vista.The files are:

• shsvcs.dll
• themeui.dll
• uxtheme.dll

These are the website to download these system files:

For Windows Vista(32bit):http://www.withinwindows.com/uxthemes/Windows%20Vista/SP0/6.0.6000.16386_XX.rar

For Windows Vista(64bit):http://www.withinwindows.com/uxthemes/Windows%20Vista/SP0/6.0.6000.16386_XX_AMD64.rar

For Windows Vista(32bit) Service Pack 1:http://www.withinwindows.com/uxthemes/Windows%20Vista/SP1/6.0.6001.18000_XX.rar

For Windows Vista(64bit) Service Pack 1:http://www.withinwindows.com/uxthemes/Windows%20Vista/SP1/6.0.6001.18000_AMD64_XX.rar

After download the RAR file,extract it using WinRAR(download here) or 7-Zip(download here),you will get the three .dll file.
Highlight that 3 .dll file can right click "Take Ownership" it.

Rename that three .dll file so that user can easily copy the file.Example simply add a "backup" at last of each file name.Such as "shsvcs_backup.dll"

After that go to Windows Explorer type in "%windir%\System32".

Copy and paste that three 'Take Ownership-ed" .dll file in that folder.

Restart yout system.Now your system is ready to use third-party theme.

Download the third-party Windows 7 theme from:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cod0z1zykoj
or
http://www.megashare.com/523729

Extract the zipped folder.Copy the folder(containing a .theme file and a folder containing .msstyles file) to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder.

Now user can go to Personalize(right click on the desktop),click on "theme" will find a new theme from the drop-down list.Apply it.

Since version 3.1, you can setup the extension to automatically convert the downloaded movies to your preferred video format.

When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure they are the ones you want to pick up.

DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.

Problem in Windows Live Movie Maker and How To Fix It

Problems in Windows Live Movie Maker and how-to fix it:

• Movie Maker requires Windows Vista.
• To use Movie Maker in Windows Vista Home Basic N and Windows Vista Business N, you must have Windows Media Player installed. If you try to start Movie Maker in these editions of Vista without Media Player installed, Movie Maker will stop responding. To install Windows Media Player, go to: http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/c/3/ac367925-39e7-4451-a175-a224f94fbdce/wmformat11sdk.exe
• Movie Maker beta only supports adding media from your local hard drive. Media added from a network share or external device is not supported in the beta.
• Movie Maker beta only supports the following file formats: WMV, JPEG, MP3, and WMA. Using any other video, photo, or music file format may create problems using the beta.
• The Effects and Transitions galleries in Movie Maker beta don’t properly display applied effects and transitions when more than one item is selected in the storyboard.
• Movie Maker beta doesn’t support audio mixing. If you add a song as a soundtrack to a video, it's possible that the audio from the music files will overpower the audio from the video files. To prevent this, you can use the Windows Media Encoder http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx to re-encode the music to a lower volume level before you add it to your Movie Maker project.
