don't know is this allowed to ask... but does anyone know a reliable working uxtheme patcher for x86 SP1 ? I tried vista-7 uxtheme patcher - failed uxtheme Multipatcher (for xp/03/vista/7) - failed tried Rafael Riviera's uxstyle, but it gives me error that my themeui and uxtheme dll's were tampered with, but aren't as I restored originals from within WIM

dunno if this work under win2000, but if you aim at win7 taskbar try ViGlance http://lee-soft.com/viglance/ if it does work you can easily edit images and set it to classic look but if youre just after wide taskbar buttons, then ignore this

:realmad: well let them force their crap when their stock falls down when they lose loyal customers and home users (aka desktop users), and those either stay on win xp or "7" or switch to Linux maybe they'll come to some sense for now there's no need for panic both XP and "7" will endure alteast next 2 win versions, if not 3

still don't get why they label it as Modern UI when its total outdated overdumbed and inefficient crap

now THAT is a good thing yet a conflict with MS, as MS is working as partner with stardock since winblinds 5 days

ok ....

nope I did with nLite RTM --> SP3 directly, works like a charm clean source is always the best

agreed, I thought I got warning from moderator lol

is it as ugly as in win8 ?

yes no there was port via Alky (or was it Alki?) but it never worked fully, thus abandoned no reason to stop using it, as long as you have hardware that works on XP (with its drivers) --- sure there is, newer hardware

that doesn't make sense when css3 was introduced, you have declared how something should behave and what "code" to use I do understand that sometime due to next version rush browsers partially implement something but prefixes won't help in that matter 1 unified rule/code for something, either it will work, or it won't ... I'm so p***ed because all engines have their own set of code different from each other in some areas instead they should all share 1 unified

question is, how different is that method of, if i just replace whatever app and rename it to iexplore.exe with original one does for example win xp, more specific, does XP's file manager (explorer) even calls some functions directly from iexplore.exe ?

see, when css 2/2.1 came out, ALL browsers were forced to either obey the standard or get lost and it was beautiful era but now, with css 3 all I see are prefixes for different thigs Opera has -o Firefox has -moz Webkit crap has -webkit and for what ? why ? do they render things differently ? maybe I'm stupid but shouldn't a common standard worth for ALL ? who and why was behind this ?

comparing to NT 6 series they are all tiny beside look how huge his HDD is

2 things that cause XP (and any other newer windows) to take huge space 1. system restore files 2. page file both can be turned off (if I'm not mistaken) with rclick on my computer -> properties if your "graph" business doesn't take alot of RAM, and you say you're not gamer, then you don't need page file, to which I think eats about 4 GB or 4.5 GB of your disk space as for system restore, it is quite useless you can clean its left over files (after you disable it first ! ) within Disk Cleanup (start - accessories - sys tools) XP by itself is already small, so removal of whatever programs won't help you that much you can speed it up (as already told you above by CharlotteTheHarlot) by disabling some of its services

easiest for you will be either to see what dll or exe files did authors from deviantart edited or just ask them

ordinary progressbar should be in .msstyle but the graph is something different - most likely hardcoded (just like 2k/xp/vista/7 have that green one with black background)

main question is, why would anyone sane even use new office at all ?

p2p will survive in form of magnet or simmiliar some torrent hosts have switched to it as apparently magnet doesn't show IP's unlike torrent or gnutella type as for cloud storage privacy, forget it, it was doomed the minute it was made up

shellbrd.dll has some parts basebrd.dll seems partial

1. DOS or any DOS app for complex things is dog sh*t, you can't compare win32 app with complex UI to some DOS app that can't do half those things and/or even efficient at that 2. all 9x systems were unstable, why ? DOS as foundation and its crappy VxD drivers ! 3. game building ? for which era ? seriously, 9x system are lightweight but can't be compared to NT ones, NT if nothing else gives stability, something that 9x sucks at hourly I hated the switch too, I used winME for years (that's right... 98/se sucks), then used win2000 (NT 5) for a while, and my 1st impression was: "I don't have to reset PC when explorer crashed ? no BSOD ? - SUPER !" I could finally use my OS without fear of BSOD crash later I didn't touch winME, this was 9 years ago later I got hardware for XP which had much better multimedia and game support, and I sticked with it up until 2011 today switch to either 2000 or XP will cost you minimal as hardware for that OS-es is nothing new yet you get far better experience and stability in long run

its always a codec problem or an multimedia app set as default that can't even read files because it doesn't support them (WMP - yes its crap) for test, I'd uninstall any codec pack you have and then install VLC player (you say you have it), set it as default player for ALL videos reboot PC/OS and see if it still happens it would also be helpful to post event viewer error logs when that crash happens

well either way, questions stand

I know that this service is being used by Server NT, but what about client NT ? do XP, Vista and 7 use or launch anything related to this service ? (like welcome/logon/oobe screen in XP) wiki says its IE dependant and I know that XP's welcome/logon/oobe screens are html based (dunno if NT 6 has anything like this) I see on my win7 its still there in System32

guess I missed that then
