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.

Everday jigsaw

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

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.

 To see how to disable Windows Vista Flip 3D see this article http://www.winvistaclub.com/t191.html

Windows Vista Free Gadgets

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 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
