Is it possible to enable Visual studio 2005 XP Visual Styles in windows 7. <br />
<br />
I cannot get the 3D effects such as in the Binding Navigator in Windows XP to duplicate in windows 7 - the binding navigator tool is washed out flat with no borders...<br />
<br />
I have updated with the required patch for visual studio 2005 and the patch for vista...<br />

Thanks in advance!
