ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 is the pack reversable ==> is it possible to restore to old lay out, without messing with the registry or weird backups or restore points?What do you mean by "weird backups"? You should always have a backup of your system, especially if you try to install some unknown software. There is really nothing weird about backups.

jason.b.c Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 what i mean it that i want to know that by uninstalling the pack, all changes to your system will be restored to their old settings and stuff...It should be fine , I believe the installer even tells you that your original settings and such won't be changed..

Scarecrow Man Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have used and still do use XPize. I find it quite nice to look at, but that's about it. Although TaskSwtichXP is quite nice, but does not require XPize, it is simply a part of it which can be downloaded seperatly.I do recomend a full backup (even though it can be uninstalled) because you never know what might happen.

Coreper Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 thanks: finally someone who is talking about the right topicdid you have any bad experiences with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 None at all. It makes your icons, Windows and almost everything look brand new. Most of the icons are updated, new themes can be installed, etc.I never had a problem with it, and it uninstalled quite easily as well, restoring everything back to the original.I also had a peek at FlyAKiteOSX, which is similar, but makes your PC look like a MAC.http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panarchy Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Then he may be in need of a defrag. Or a CHDSK.Or maybe even, I hate to suggest this, I disk cleanup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a CHDSK.Or maybe even, I hate to suggest this, I disk cleanup?I'm not sure what that would solve though, XPize just plain didn't change anything...He can't do a CHKDSK because he dosen't have a windows disk , He cleans his drive regularly , and Defrags regularly as well..????

Scarecrow Man Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Sounds very strange. All I can think of is lookin on / posting on the xpize forum. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
