Last weekend we had some problems with the server that hosts the CodeGazer website and downloads. All problems should have been resolved now. The site, downloads and forum are fully operational again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No news on VistaGlazz yet, we’re trying to get it released as soon as possible, but we have to ask for a bit more of your patience.
We are working hard on some small bug fixes and features to make VistaGlazz 1.1 more stable and easier to use. After that we have to fix our new installer and we’re ready to release. Expect the new (full) version soon.
Update 2008-09-17
VistaGlazz is currently in the approval process of a third party. We can release it as soon as it is approved. We’ll keep you up to date.
Not only VistaGlazz is getting an update, PixelCryptor as well! The new version is blazing fast and memory management is greatly improved. Prepare for version 1.2.
We’ve received numerous reports on RunDll32 errors after patching your system with VistaGlazz beta 2. We are looking into the problem, until then we advice (the brave among you) to await beta 3 or our next well tested release version of VistaGlazz.
Read the forum and comments in the VistaGlazz beta 2 post for more information. This issue seems to occur on SP1 systems only.
Update 2008/05/10:
We like to note that VistaGlazz isn’t compatible with Vista Home Basic. Microsoft has deliberately removed Aero from Vista Home Basic, and we would violate probably 10 pages of Terms of Use if we were to make it Vista Home Basic compatible.
Also make sure that you are using Beta 2. Unfortunately the link on our download page linked to Beta 1. Beta 2 should fix any errors caused to you by Beta 1 after patching.
Here is a quick reminder, the current release of VistaGlazz is not compatible with Service Pack 1. It’s wise to unpatch your system before installing Service Pack 1. Do not use VistaGlazz (1.0) on a Vista system that has Service Pack 1 installed.
We are working on a version that is Service Pack 1 compatible.
In the meanwhile you can patch your system manually. You can find the files here:

Next week we’re both going on holiday, so we decided on releasing PixelCryptor 1.1 this week. The list of improvements can be found at the bottom of the PixelCryptor download page. We used NSIS to create the installer and since we’re pretty much new at this platform, there is a small chance you’ll encounter a bug during install or uninstall. We have tested the installer thoroughly, but please let us know if you stumble upon a bug, so we might fix it in the next installer.
Our download.com mirror is offline for a few days, because it takes them some time to process the new version. You can use our CodeGazer mirror for your convenience.
Enjoy and we look forward to your feedback.
