My First Post

HI GUYS,
Welcome!!!

Just wanted to share my views about vista only softwares that can be used on XP. Personally, I really liked this idea of porting softwares exclusive to Vista onto Windows XP, but finding these softwares on the net is a really tiresome and time consuming job. I personally had to waste more than 20 hours of my internet time searching for these softwares on various blogs and forums, and most of it was nothing more than crap.

So, after wasting so much of my time, I realized the troubles others have to go through to find these softwares so I compiled some of them in archives for people like me.

This compilation contains the following Vista Softwares ported to Win XP:

1. Windows Media Player 11 (bypassing Validation Check)
~ PhazeDDL.com

2. Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (bypassing Validation Check)
~ PhazeDDL.com

3. VAIOXP Preview Build #2 ~ ZoRoNaX and Rafael (http://www.aeroxp.org/)

4. Windows Vista Sidebar ported to XP
~ Hugo Sousa (espacovazio.wordpress.com)

5. Sidebar Skins for XP ~ ricktendo64 (Wincert.net Forum)

6. Windows Vista Games ~ Jonathan Wilson (jonnyw1989.wordpress.com)
{except for Inkball, Texas Hold'Em and Minesweeper}
-- Freecell-- Hearts
-- Texas Hold'Em ~ custofreak (joejoe.org Community)
-- Inkball ~ custofreak (joejoe.org Community)
-- Minesweeper ~ ali_66
-- Purble Place
-- Shanghai
-- Solitaire
-- Spider Solitaire

7. Windows Vista Screensavers ~ johntp (http://www.johntp.com/)
-- Aurora
-- Bubbles
-- Mystify
-- Ribbons

8. Vista Sticky Notes ~ AMIRZ (Wincert.net Forum)

9. Vista Snipping Tool ~ AMIRZ (Wincert.net Forum)

    http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?...t=0#entry184329

    If you get some error messages for some games/powertoys (not all) like "Tic Tac Toe":
    Try to make sure them installed properly/install/reinstall/repair:

    -Net Framework 1.1 : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

    - And .Net Framework 1.1 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

    - Then try to uninstall then reinstall (not repair) Windows Journal Viewer 1.5 at last time: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

    That's all. I hope it can help/fix the problem. Good luck and see you later buddy!

    Kind Regards, Amirz
