Is this a known issue or it was just he who fvcked up?

He definitely fvcked up imo, by not imaging the system partition or atleast backing up the system state etc. beforehand.

finally installed, works pretty well cept is there a way to revert the task bar only to normal? not really liking a blackish taskbar.

that and hovering over the system tray icons for the pop up stats doesn't work anymore, they disappear in a snap😛

the way the program icons in taskbar are lighted up when you put your mouse over them is nicer, and a mini picture of the programs window pops up for one

No thanks, I'll keep using XP (with Windows Classic theme) 🙂

I played with a vista computer today at costco, and was bored within about 30 seconds. I will switch to vista when its the SP2-included version is available on CD/DVD.

another thing is they add a preview panel at the bottom of the file explorer, its annoying in how it updates, anyway to get rid of it?

 

[PlatinumGold]

ya but are the files indexed the way they are in Vista, that's what i like best about vista, the search feature actually works.

 

[0roo0roo]

figured it out, use classic folders in folder options worked.

i use copernic desktop search for indexing

 

[0roo0roo]

dissapearing tooltips fix

I'm having the same problem. Just using single row right now. Besides that it works great.
