622527 2007-12-18 20:49:00 Since I use Windows Xp and not Vista can anyone tell me if Vista can be set up in classic interface so it looks more like Windows 98 and not like the Default WinXP?

I know it can be done in XP as I have all my computers running in classic.

I have an old (80 yr old +) client that is very familiar with Win98 but is having some problems navigating Vista.

In control panel select Personalization, Theme, Windows Classic

I don't think its a good idea. Vistas layout is different, not just its looks.
He'll get used to it quicker by just playing around as is, rather than trying to get it to be Win98.
