  1. WLL updated <--?? Yeah, after 2 years of inactivity, i've updated it. If it will work okay with video cards it can work with, i'll include it into RP8. Otherwise, it dies. - Fixed behavior when \logo.sys is not found or not appropriate; - Improved timer hook to fix problems with reentrability, race conditons and unhooking. WLL.zip
  2. Then you can't say 95%. progrstep=8 progrmax=progrstart+8*13 progrbegin=progrstart-8*3 progrend=progrmax+8*3 = progrstep=8 progrmax=progrstart+progrstep*13 progrbegin=progrstart-progrstep*3 progrend=progrmax+progrstep*3 Do you get it now? I'm absolutely uninterested in this project unless it will fix bugs for me Latest available source i've recovered from marxo is attached. WLLupdated.zip
  3. Just 5 topics lower: http://www.msfn.org/board/Generic-display-...rs-t109548.html
  4. Well, i'm also unable to reproduce it on ME shell. I'm not really sure if i'd seen it on 9x boxes.
  5. Yeah sure... waste 20+ MB of memory just to fix that damned thing lol. I must include it into UberSkin/RP8 then.
  6. Oh hi. See search box above? http://www.msfn.org/board/LameSkin-Themes-t97889.html http://www.msfn.org/board/Blacksnow-Lameskin-t108902.html http://www.msfn.org/board/ThemePack-lamesk...es-t106842.html
  7. OK. Although i got a lot of popups about higher file versions (and not every file i should keep; for example cdvfs.vxd which we discussed to replace).
  8. Hm. You can install UberSkin which provides Lock Taskbar functionality... But does this bugs you so much?
  9. Oh, instead of 1MB of Paint you have 10MB of Paint.NET and 400MB of .NET Frameworks? Perfect reasoning.

    vLite on Vista SP1

    Ok, so i got my fresh 6001.18000.080118-1840_x86fre_Client_en-us-FRMCFRE_EN_DVD.iso and of course the first thing to do was vLiteing! First, i've tried Ultimate version with my previous preset (all [+winsxs] removed except Aero, nForce storage controller and... Paint, lol ) There were some some errors: And resulting image weren't booting with 'cannot load volmgrx.sys' error. So, to be safe, i've excluded Storage Controllers and Dynamic Volume Manager and went with Home Premium. Same 'registry' error, but now everything was installed properly! Oh, and Vista still a slow a**. But we have some hope So be aware. Exclude those components for now. .... And now some shocking news (to me, at least): Windows Update and Remove programs are working even with winsxs removed! (I dunno, maybe they were working for someone after integrating some updates - but not for me... or may be registry error is the culprit??) The driver for VMWare audio was found and installed. Some sizes for comparsion: - Windows folder: 1,24GB - WinSxs folder: 151MB (8,060 files, 336 folders)
  11. May i suggest more extremal cutting? - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS contains tons of sensitive information which is nice to be removed - .NET frameworks - More boot.wim cleanup (there are tons of system/install files not needed for clean install) - Along minor surgery: CardSpace, Digital Locker, Windows Update / BITS / other services, Windows Anytime Upgrade, Guided help, XWizards? - Get rid of TrustedInstaller at all?
  12. Yeah, i've managed to compile it without troubles.
  13. Try formatting it using fixed tools: http://www.msfn.org/board/Corrected-FDISK-FORMAT-t85573.html or other tools, from FreeDOS or other partition managers. FreeDOS format: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/...ormat-0.91v.zip
  14. Disable Active Desktop (use normal background picture)
  15. There's one way to boot 9x from NTFS: grub loader for DOS. It provides emulated hard disk or floppy drive image to boot from via int 13h, from FAT or NTFS. Then, in theory, some Windows 9x NTFS driver will load itself and disable int 13h hook. And on shutdown, it will write updated registry back into image. However, with existing tools, it is a hard and unreliable solution.
  16. OMG I've never seen so much reshack in my life. But remember that quality and quantity are different things.
  17. Wait, if it loads before GUI, then perform a Logged boot via F8 and check \bootlog.txt (\bootlog.prv) after unsuccessful booting.
  18. With custom build of this driver and special patched shadow bios i was finally able to get my native 1280x800 resolution on notebook with 915GM! And holy crap, it works awesome, i was even able to watch videos. Still no audio, lan or wlan, though, but i'm sure that sometime i'll be able to solve this If author gives me permission, i'll release this version for 915GM, otherwise anyway sometime version with support for non-standard resolutions will come. Edit: here it is! I hope someone will find it useful! i915GM.zip
  19. Not good. Modifying shell32.dll leads to crashes with RP7 (and maybe without RP7 too) very often (Lupus suffers from this crash, for example). That's why imageres.dll was born.
  20. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=105725 http://www.bearwindows.boot-land.net/vbe9x.htm very alpha for now, but reported to work for some cards.
  21. If you're serious with this project, consider this solution: DEInf - deintegrate things from 98 SE distro It's forgotten now, and i have no source anymore But it can help you with some things. If i'll ever start creating my custom Windows, i'll use 'imaging' solution - minimal archived windows installation + apps separately. Consider visiting Reinstalling hardware after Windows installation Also, i should repeat, this project is already done (integrated/removed componets, updated files, IE6, included apps, etc). Unfortunately, only with Russian version: http://bust.narod.ru/98if.html
  22. Well Colors look dull to me. It does not have to be shiny, but currently active/inactive windows look the same Maybe you can delay your skins a bit to polish them for new skinning engine?
  23. Well, they're extemely awesome to my taste! If happens to be icon packs support for RP8, it will be the my first choice! I think i need you (in addition to marxo) for RP8 design. But if you could release those icons as icon set (for existing program like IconPackager, or standalone as ResPatcher), it would be extremely nice!
