I think I understand, you brought TweakVista, but the only computer that had a internet connection that you could download it with was your XP laptop. If that's correct you do have an interesting problem.

I'm on XP myself so I'm not familiar with TweakVista not sure why it would need an internet connection to work, download yes. Lets sse if we can find you some help.  ;)

Is it not activating or not working at all?
Can you click on any of the buttons down the left side?

The registered version of TweakVista does require activation. Perhaps that is what you are talking about?

To get the current version of TweakVista onto that computer, you should install Stardock Central onto it, download it on your XP machine, make an archive (right-click, Archive application), copy the archive from your Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\Backups folder to your Vista machine, install Stardock Central on the Vista machine, and then restore the archive (File/Archive/Restore archive).

When you run TweakVista it will prompt for activation. Enter your details, and then follow the instructions given to email the signature request. You should get a sig.bin file in an return email. Put this file into the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\TweakVista (create this folder if it is not present) and TweakVista should run.

Or, just connect the machine for a few moments to download and activate it. Might be simpler. :-)

You would think that if it's call TweakVista it wouldn't be able to be used on XP. I think he was saying that was the machine he downloaded it on because of the internet connection.  ;)

Doh.  Totally missed it was on XP.

I'm not sure who's sillier the OP or those of us who responded not noticing.
