how come you had to install it in safe mode m8

it installed but i only got the boot and shut down screens, no tool bars or themes, i looked in appearences but no vista themes were there, just default xp and classic. so i read the installation guide again and it says somewere that in some cases it cant overwrite certian files or something to that effect, if this is the case rollback and install in safe mode, which i did and it worked perfect.

i suppose it could be something to do with updates because when it booted with the vista pack installed i had 3 MS updates waiting and none of my other pc's needed them.

i tried 3 times in normal mode but it just gave me the boot screens like i said.

When I started the .exe. The set up automatically disabled my internet security until installed.

No probs here?

:)


it disabled my anti-virus too and no other programs were running, my firewall is my router. but it does state in the read me if there is no vista theme after install is complete it's because the install couldn's overwrite certain files, if this is the case rollback and install in safe mode, i dont know why. but as i said in normal mode all i got was the boot screens, after installing in safe mode it worked first time.
im not saying this will happen on all machines, but it's useful info if it occurs for somebody else too ;)

it really has made alot of difference to my xp, default blue is boring and the silver tool bar i hate, but this is ideal

look in display properties/appearances and change windows and buttons to vista-beta 2
