DO NOT waste your time on this application. For starters, the developers are so focused on getting their $19.95 for this application that they combine a nag screen at startup, an ad to purchase it, a 30 day time out, AND most of the options are disabled as "not available in trial". For beta/shareware, it should one or the other. 30 days full use then expire, or unlimited use with certain functions disabled. Of the features that are available to you, like the startup processes, those can be reached or accessed using the built in 'msconfig' command at winkey-r (run command).

With just about everything else disabled, this application's installation is a complete and total waste of time, effort, harddrive space, and memory. I can't say anything good about this application, whatsoever due to the fact that I am not able to run any of the tweaks that are supposed to be offered.

I hope they don't plan on paying the rent with this one... they'll be homeless if they do.

In short: STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!

Save your money and just google "tweak Vista." You can do all of this by yourself for free, and the tweaks stick.

Pretty bad when you can't even install the program. It tells me my email address in "invalid". Duh, ok.

Note that you need *hardware* support for DirectX 9 for the special effects.

I couldn't get this to work. Not like I really expected to on my crappy a** graphics card. A great program though. Also, I doubt the BetaNews people will allow me to disclose where you can find Vista. But check the normal places. ;)

ok, i installed the 77.52's for vista, no aero glass effects but everything else worked fine including all the vniew options. then i installed the 77.03 and the aero glass effects worked, and everthing seemed to come up faster, but my monitor is not supported, i have a dell 2005fpw widescreen monitor. so i went back to the 77.52, used this program, restarted the computer, and vista would not start up. i did safe mode(last known config that worked. and just said w/ the 77.03's becuase i like to look at the aero glass stuff.
