I know about WindowsXLive, i know about WindowBlinds, ive used CrystalClear and BricoPacks. At my college the CAD lab has computers running Windows XP Professional 64-bit edition and the start bar and window borders look all black and shiny like Vista. How do i do that to my computer with minimal installation or modifications of system files?

Ive just upgraded to Windows 7 and all the windows that I minimize get into the application thingy on the toolbar. I want to see them separately. What do I do?

So I have an old computer that definitely can not run Windows 7 or Vista. So I was wondering if there is any way (any good software that does not include spywares/trojans) that can make my Windows XP system looks like Windows vista or windows 7?

I tried downloading both Windows 7 and Vista on the system, but it lags a lot. With windows xp it runs like a dream.

I am running vista and want to change the login screen to one like windows 7, only theres the vista logo. I tried using stardocks login studio, only the vista logo appears at the bottom of my page and looks rather bad offplaced to the windows seven logo. Does anyone know of how to remove it, or software that will cover that logo up as well as the background theme?
