Hi guys,

I just downloaded and tried Everyday Jigsaw for Windows Vista and it is very addictive. If you love doing jigsaws then this is a free game to download. It lets you make your own jigsaw with your own pictures. There are also different  jigsaws to do everyday. You will need an internet connection to get the new jigsaws everyday.

If you want to download extra jigsaws to do it will cost money. Here is a jigsaw I made with this free program.

This is what it looked like when I started to try and do the jigsaw…Could I have picked a harder picture???

In the old days of Windows XP we had Windows flip, which switched through open applications on your computer when you pressed the WinKEY and the TAB key. Now in Windows VIsta you can still do this, however now it also has Windows Vista 3D flip.

What is the Windows Vista Flip3D?

Well if you have any version above Windows Vista Basic you will probably know what Windows Flip 3D is. It is a fantastic way to browse through your open applications on Windows Vista. The thumnail windows glide past you as you scroll through them to make your choice of which program to open.  If you are into bells, whistles and cool tweaks, Windows Flip 3D is for you.

Now because this is all such a smooth process, it is annoying when you have to actually go and click on a shortcut icon on your taskbar to get Windows Vista Flip 3D to start. This is why you need a free program called Windows Vista Flip 3D activator. You simply download it, install it, and set it to open Windows Vista Flip 3D as soon as you go to a particular corner of the screen.

If you go to http://notj.net/flip3d/windows_vista_flip_3d_activator.html you can see more information on this program. Also see the video tutorial below to see Windows Flip 3D Activator in action.

Windows Vista has a sidebar that can be enabled that holds cool gadgets to help you through the day. It could be a notepad to write notes, a clock, the local weather, and so much more. If you haven’t enabled the Windows Vista sidebar and added gadgets to it, seriously, you should give it a go.
How to enable the Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets:

1. Got to the start menu at the bottom left corner and choose control panel
2. Then double click on the Windows Sidebar Properties icon.
3. The box below will appear.
4. Tick the box Start Sidebar when Windows starts
5. Then tick the box Sidebar is always on top of other windows
6. Press Apply and then OK.. It should immediately appear on the desktop.

How to download or install more gadgets:

Also when you have the Sidebar installed on your desktop there is a plus sign at the top. Double click on this to open the window pictured below. You can click on any of the gadgets here to install them to your desktop. If you want to download more click on get more gadgets online.

Windows Vista Free Gadgets

Aero Flip 3D in Windows Vista is very cool if you have it, however if you do not, there is a free program called Rocketdock that gives you the same convienience and feel. The screenshot below does not give it justice because you cannot see the icons glide out when you mouse over them.

If you have Windows XP or Windows Vista Home Basic you can download this program and almost pretend that you have cool graphics like Vista Aero Flip 3D. This is a really cool program that resembles the dock that is used on a mac computer.

In the settings you can move the Rocketdock to the top, right, left, or bottom of the screen. You can also drag icons onto it and remove them by right clicking on the icon and choosing to delete the item. There are also loads of themes to choose from.

I have tested this program on a Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows XP Professional and it worked flawlessly. Oh yeah… Did I mention it was free! And there are no nagging popups or spyware, the developers politely ask for a donation if you like the program.

Rocketdock features

• Easily drag and drop new icons onto the dock
• Fully customize themes and settings
• Real time previews are on the dock (movies are still playing and watchable)
• Runs great on slower computers

Download Rocketdock from http://rocketdock.com/downloadis

Please note that Windows XP x64 Edition, Windows Vista 64-bit Editions, and alternate shells are not supported.

I found these fantastic wallpapers on the internet and it was love at first sight. There must be millions of free wallpapers out there to download, however it takes time to find a vistalicious one. You can’t just put any old wallpaper onto a flash computer running Windows Vista!

I have been searching for a few decent wallpapers for a change of scenery and surprisingly enough I have found about 20 that pass the test. I will be adding them to the site soon.

They are not exactly just for Windows Vista, they will also work for Windows XP, unfortunately. LOL.

Here’s how to grab these Windows wallpapers for yourself:

1. Click on one of the wallpapers above
2. When the bigger size wallpaper comes up, right click on it
3. A menu will appear, choose save picture as
4. Now browse your computer to find a spot to save the file
5. That’s it
