Create a system restore point
Before starting the installer it is recommendable to create a restore point because in some cases this kind of software apps might break down Windows, so it is better to stay on the safe side.
Select the files during the installation process
Installation is actually the most important process when working with Vistapack because this is the moment when you have to choose which elements are to be copied on your computer. Besides the main files, you can also install the Vista cursors, screensavers, wallpapers and fonts, so your experience gets closer to the genuine one.
Tweaks made to your system
Once you make the selection, everything works like a charm and your XP testing machine gets a new and fancy look. The result does look great, but it might slow down Windows a little bit on older machines.Unlike some other similar software app, Vistapack also brings the Aero experience to XP, thus offering you the chance to appreciate the new look to its full value.Typically, the removal process also works smoothly, but, as previously mentioned, it is better to have a restore point just to be sure nothing goes wrong.
Bottom line
