Solved Skin Out, Skin Vista

[unisol]

Hey there. I came across a windows 7 skin:
Windows 7 PDC Style For Vista by =giannisgx89


But it is in another language based on the screenshot of the skin. Will the iterms on the interface be in full english like the language we use or will it be in the other language? If so and it is english true and true would it be safe to use it? I don't know how long Win 7 will take to be released. Some say October and I can't bother to wait now. So if it is safe to use that skin can I go ahead and apply it or do you people not like it and my idea to use it?


NB. Does anyone have a steady setup of WMP 12 now? Everywhere online I go talks about the dll file and copying some folder. Too awkward. I just need a real installation file.

Why not just get Win7 and use it? It's good until August and you could dual boot it with Vista.

LOL What's so funny?

I dont know why I laughed so hard. So true, blunt and simple I guess.
My thought was, would you try to get your ford taurus to look like a ford mustang if the ford mustang was available for free.

I was not laughing at you unisol nor picking fun. Try windows 7 you will
be happy.

LOL, yeah I can be blunt and to the point sometimes.

Hi Arron,

Do you by chance come from good Yorkshire stock ?

Hello Nigel,


It's possible, I don't know too much about my ancestry, only that my father's mother was Russian and my mothers maiden name was Dunipace coming from the Latin Duni-pacis (hills of peace) , which is Scottish/Dutch? LOL, sorry I don't know.

I don't want to run Win 7 beta. I just want to use the media player. I want to test it out and use it. Not use Win 7 beta. I want a simple install for the media player.

I do not think that is possible. Maybe you could run it in a virtual environment?

Ok. I tried to copy the dll file to the system32 folder and the windows media player folder to the location it should go for wmp12 to work. It says I don't have permission and I can't get around that confirmation box. Everything is set but windows won't allow me to copy the files. How do I get rid of the Vista confirmations overall and also for me to get the dll and folder for the WMP to work? Please assist.

Honestly unless you want to seriously stuff your OS I would leave it well alone, just wait until they have released it for Vista or try the Windows 7 Beta, the way you are doing things will not work unless you change registry settings and setup ownerships for the files you want to replace and you will need a resource hacker to modify the files so Vista will use them and God knows what else, it just wont work.

No matter how hard you try, you're not going to be able to turn Vista into 7. Like Mr. Grim said, you're going to botch it up beyond repair.

Mate, it ain't going to work. You are going to really mess something up if you are not careful.
