From the Microsoft Virtual PC FAQ: Q. What will Microsoft charge for Microsoft Virtual PC 2004? A. The Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 application will be comparably priced to the Connectix Virtual PC for Windows product. Details will be announced at a time closer to the release of Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. Please note that the Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 application will be sold on a stand-alone basis, and that licenses for the guest operating systems need to be acquired separately. Another alternative is VMWare. What's HyperOS btw?

yeah looks like it, a batch file called from the INF, then an app that will hide the command prompt window.

If you legally own the software then why are you using a patch to disable Activation? If you are having issues with activation then I'd suggest calling Microsoft's Support Line for assistance on why your key is being refused.

tried winbeta.org's IRC?

Found it in /all users/application data/hagel technologies

There is also Symantec's AI Snapshot (included in Ghost) that takes a snapshot of the registry and disk before and after an installation. It creates an exe to make the necessary changes as shown in the snapshots. The exe install is silent by default.

Last time I heard, the limit has increased to 4,092 characters for Windows 2000 (if i remember correctly) then it should apply for Windows XP as well.

You can your post. It's at the top right corner of your post.

Most of the XP Visual Styles can be downloaded from http://www.themexp.org

Do we need to bicker over a member title? Please stay on topic

Place that into the i386 directory too.

Screenie from devil270975: Windows Update Screen Looks very professional, good job! I guess everyone who did the batch files is going to switch to this instead!

Longhorn isn't warez when its in alpha/beta

Found this posting in a newsgroup (source unknown) but it sounds silly having Van Damme to play the role of Tintin, but he's pretty desperate!

email it and I'll put it on (aaronxp at MSFN dot org)

aww no ati fanboys I would have suggested my Radeon 9800 Pro, I love it to bits!

What does the Windows Update screen look like?

For a game I play (ST Elite Force 2), it required DirectX 9 to be installed.

There's only a Longhorn 4015

It isn't.

I think that fixed it, but not too sure. PNG images views in IE6, but MYIE2 tries to download it.

Webmedic has made a good script for using 2 CDs, he has posted it somewhere in this forum for people who wanted to do it this way.

When it hangs on the desktop and the taskbar won't load (when its trying to obtain an IP address) you can press ESC to force the desktop and all background applications to load despite not getting an IP yet.

did you enable hardware acceleration before installing drivers?

Its very difficult to remove hard-codened applications such as WMP8 and IE6 from WindowsXP. LitePC is the only company who claims they can do it. They were a sucess with Windows98, but Windows2000 and XP has proven to be very difficult to do, but they're getting there!
