Greetings, im customizing XP to make more 95 "friendly" Any ideas for better customization are welcome, still working in my XP system to be as much close to 95 as can I restore things like pattern and classic graphics in display properties, classic search, remove internet explorer style toolbar from explorer, customize most dialogs to be close to 95 ones, restore old install/uninstall programs and many dialogs, like new hardware, replace USB safe hardware remove with PCMCIA one to be more close to 95 style, split multimedia and sound control panels, and many other things i did not screenshot...

Hi, sorry delay to answer, finally i "solve" the problem I think is a driver or game bug, with fullscreen, i borrow a different laptop to a friend, with a GMA4500 too, and installed XP... same problem I used latest drivers, and tested different version too, same bug I solve with DxWnd, this software is a hooker to run fullscreen programs in window, and the game run great in a "fake fullscreen" in other words a bordeless window with size of laptop native resolution Is not a elegant solution, but i can play the game thanks for reply

Thanks a lot! tested in XP x64, and works great, no problem for now I have a question, there is any way to switch resolution when watching videos on fullscreen? flash videos works great, for sure is using video acceleration, but html5 is slow like hell, and only solution is to switch to 640x480 and then goes fullscreen.. Thanks a lot for your great work

Hi, i cross compiled in XP x64 cygwin. Just renamed cygwin dll to avoid any posible conflict I can compile in a native enviroment, but don't worth the time just for a game (anyways is 1.5GB, dont care bout 2 extra mb). Faster dont think, i tried the game in same machine + win7, no difference in speed I tested reactos dwmapi without success, in fact i always keep some dll from reactos, wine, etc just to try first. I did not know Xompie, looks great, thanks for advice

**sorry my english ** Hi, the other day i get this game, just to get "surprised" did not work on XP The game ask for some functions in the library dwmapi, (dwmGetCompositionTimingInf, etc) that are Vista+ only I tried to hex edit the executable to remove the dependencies, but no luck. It seems the game really uses this functions Using wie source code, i made a dwmapi compatible with XP (maybe windows 2000), and now the game is working great. Just copy the 3 files in the executable folder of Shantae, and enjoy. Tested in XP SP3 http://www.akihabara-online.com/Main/PC/shantaeXP.zip I just finish the game, no problems, just a little slow because my hardware, but is not a XP problem

Hi, I compiled sudown to support 64bits windows some years ago, because a HDD crash, i lost the sources, and I decide better to share or maybe one day this executable will lost forever... I only tested in XP x64 Is just the sudo. exe executable, need a "sudoers" group with admin level. I change this: - native 64bits - Close after execute a application. The 32bits version remains in ram (at least in XP x64) www.akihabara-online.com/Main/PC/sudo.zip I share because for me is something i use all time,I think sudo is the best way to work on windows, runas is crap Hope will be useful to someone Thanks

Oh Oh, im so sad to hear about Palemoon, is the web browser im using right now... The problem of palemoon is if you want to compile yourself, they only provide VS 13+ solution, then at least is necessary have Windows 7+Viual 2013 to build

Im still running a P4 3.4ghz, no complains here. Sure the P4 are not good CPU at all, but i think is not soo bad neither The funny thing is that i removed the fans inside my USFF 280, and this machine is running without any fan since 5 or 6 years ago... jeje still working good

wow, i get really touched by this post... specially about thr word "paperweight"... ....because my main PC is a optiplex usff 280 I never feel the need to upgrade, and for now, works great for everything I need, specially programming, that is my main activity

Thanks jaclaz, this Zotac look good, like a powerfull thin client or a netbook without screen, looking at the AC adaptor, i think will be maximun 35W, for sure less, 15-25W I will add to my "watch list"

Thanks, but my idea is to use less power, not to dry my battery faster. Using my Dell is not a option, i was checking and some of this small mini PCs and they need less than 10W vs 140-180W of my Dell, big difference Most of this new atoms, are similar to my C2D 1.6ghz in performance, is not a problem abot performance Still looking, is not easy sadly

Hi guys, apologize my english Right now, my computer is a Dell USFF 745, Dual Core 1.6ghz, 4Gb ram, SSD 128GB kingston, runing XP x64. runs great, i have no complains at all But this year i want to change all electrical system to use only solar power (im so tired of pay electrical bills ). Im forced to change all my electrical stuff to a low powered ones, to save battery Mi idea was one of this small computers that look like a pendrive, runing windows 10, and install XP x64. They are easy to buy, and cheap... But for what I see, the latest intel generation supported in Xp x64 is the 3rd one, true? Any ideas of some small low power computer, i can found easy and cheap on ebay, that i can install XP x64? Thanks

Hi, greetings I bought a Tablet with windows 8.1, and im trying to make this windows usable. One of first thing was disable everything that looks like a resource hog or found intrusive But im stuck with Windows Resource Protection, in 2000/XP/2003 was easy, but I never use anything over XP until now, and I get totally stuck I already try the SFCDisable registry hack wihtout luck, and im not looking for the "take ownership" stuff. Im looking more in the "disable and erase dll" side Please, some advice? how to get rid of Windows Resource Protection? Thanks

I had same problem in my brother XP x32 (i use XP x64 and this problem not exist) Did you have system sounds? using a sound scheme was the culprit, NO SOUNDS, fix the slowdown after directory properties

In my XP x64 PC, latest version that not have this "close" problem, is 3.8.0 For now, works very well, i use almnost everyday

Thanks for reply Yes im sure, i uninstall drivers, and windows works normally. I install intel drivers, and the "property" is back again BUT, if i connect the pad to a external screen, the system works normally again... no more maximized windows !! When i realize about this, I contact the maker of tablet (is a local company, very good technical support), and they confirm, that intel drivers, detect the screen size, if is 7" or less, maximize all windows, if is 10" and up, dont activate the property Yes, i will ask in intel forum, and ... yes... the forum sucks... but i hope someone cna help me there Ahh.... intel is horrible... every laptop or desktop computer with integrated intel i had... always problems with drivers... i can say that intel make good hardware... but drivers totally sucks Thanks for all help

Hi guys!! sorry the delay, and thans for help Finally i found the problem.. not the solution yet The problem, is the intel video drivers. Detect that the screen is 7" and activate this property, maximize all windows If the intel driver, detect a bigger screen, DONT activate this property, and all windows open in a normal way If i uninstall intel drivers, the system works normally, of course, is not a option, i need correct drivers... Ahh... some experts here with intel drivers?
