Replacing Windows Mail in Win-10 with one from Win-Vista.

Clayton, yes you can use your own files, as well realize the files from the tutorial attachments are the exact same thing already coming from Windows Vista - it's all the same.

The tutorial instructions how to do it in every detail are posted Here

Please for your own sake, just be sure you understand the limitations of using the old Vista WinMail client out of it's native environment inside of Windows7/8/10 by reading through the disclaimer, and the Bug List that's linked on the page there, and then decide if you want to do it and if it's right for you.
Feel free to post your questions over there too.

 

Vista Pre-SP1 vs. Vista SP1

I've been Windows Updating for two straight days and I finally saw SP1. If you want to troubleshoot it, follow these steps:

• Show hidden updates
• Manually install any failed updates (google the KB_____ and install from the windows site)
• Make sure everything in Device Manager is good to go

I had to do step two for like 4 or 5 updates to be able to see SP1.

Any other benchmarks you guys want to see? I might try PCMark05 (I think it works on Vista).

 

Why Win 7 as Vista gets DX 11?

I have DX 11 on my rig running Vista. I know I still need a new ATi 5K card for DX 11, but I don't see the need to buy Win 7 now.

Sure, for quite awhile I pissed at both 32/64 Vista as Win Explorer would lock up at any given time. That has been fixed and now I am happy with Vista. I felt the necessity to upgrade to Vista for DX 10 and the new look. The new look of Win 7 looks like Vista to me. I am happy Vista gets DX 11 as Win 7 doesn't seem a necessity for the gamer in me.

So why spend the $ on Win 7 when that $ can be going towards a sweet ATi 5K card? Or you could spend the $ saved on a copy of MW2. *Roll :roll:
