foxxx428 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ok so there's no way possible to get the Hover effect? Oh well I guess, the ported version is alot better than Thoosje.. since I can get whatever gadget I want. Thanks for the sidebar If you really want a sidebar on XP with the Vista fading effect, you'll need to use the Google Desktop. The fade isn't exactly like Vista but it is there. Be aware that it uses probably just as many resources of the Vista sidebar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiki burgh Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 thanks for this rick! this addon is one that i've always been on the lookout for ... i'd just like to aks if there'd be a specific addon for Eng XP only (i'm thinking maybe the file size would be smaller)? thanks!

fenix Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Hello Mr. Rick. It neglects to call fairly. We wish sincerely to express our gratitude for the revival of a Japanese version. The problem that cannot be uninstalled in the latest version occurs. The directory of Process.exe doesn't exist. It is possible to uninstall it normally by specifying C:\WINDOWS\system32\Process.exe. Please examine it.[ Addition ]; Copies LCID to "%WinDir\system32" (during [DefaultInstall] only)[Copy.sys32]lcid.exe ; [ 5804 lines ]process.exe ; It doesn't exist.
