Well, it is kinda stagnated.

It has been reported that this driver *works* on some PCI Express GeForce [7600 GS] video adapters!

I've tried once, however, after driving myself mad patching those stupid imagelists Restorator destroyed my work and i've trown everything into garbage. No one uses that s*** anyway.

Suddenly, newer drivers were found out of nowhere. http://www.nvworld.ru/drivers/old/WideWin9x.rar Those drivers are marked Sept 11 2006 and are believed to provide widescreen support for all nVidia graphic cards up to 6800. Series 7 entries are absent in the inf so you'll have to edit if file yourself.

.32bitimgl hack is limited by design. Do you really need it much? I can patch any of them if you insist.

RP 2.02 with fixed XNView toolbar bug attached to the first post - Toolbar corruptions still not fixed

You're right, it's terrible. Thx for finding this. I'll fix it in 2.02.

A bit better thumbnails Windows+IE6 patch is available Also, i've finally updated first post with RP2.0.

Generic drivers for USB2 in NUSB3 worked for me on SiS chipset. Although never even try to install their "NO_USB2 patch" or you may lose EHCI controller forever.

Yes, as i said i've removed installer routines from DLL to make it a bit smaller. You'll have to do 3 things yourself: 0) Copy rpl2k.dll into \windows\system32 [i think you may use replacer to be sure]. It is wise to keep it in that directory to be compatible with RP. 1) Add it into AppInit_DLLs key. 2) Set Shell Icon BPP to 32.

Yes, that's the explorer problem. Google "256-color explorer tray icon patch" or create empty file explorer.exe.32bitimgl in your \windows folder as a compromise solution. As for good 32-bit icons, i can recommend you to try "Vista Icon Pack 3.0 system patch" which i'm using. It replaces icons almost everywhere. Note: after installing it, you must replace your \windows\explorer.exe and \windows\system32\taskmgr.exe from backup (\windows\vip3 if i do remember) or you're risking to end with broken system. That's because it wasn't designed for 2k. You can also try other icon packs [which are using RP] in this subforum. However, i didn't tried them. Or you can wait for future RP which will support icon themes.

Just replace it with icon and win

No, this can be really bug. How to reproduce it? Which messenger should i run? How to make tray icons rapidly updating? Is it constant? I can't reproduce it. 99 of 100 times this dialog opening everything is ok.

Well, RP'2000 is designed to be as low resource-intensive as possible. Memory usage will grow because 32-bit icon resources will consume more memory themselves. All you need is good enough video card which is able to handle 32-bit images (with alpha-blend acceleration recommended). 128 MB is enough if you have enough free ram for W'2000 to work.

Updated RP 2.0 attached to this post - Fixed "magic pink" issue - Added setuprp.exe /q switch for silent install

I've written what's changed. You'll have to write installer routines for rpl2k.dll now yourself, or use my installer. Where's screenshot i've been asking for?

W'2000 Revolutions Pack 2.0 released for testing <see later post> WARNING: NOT main-system safe until is properly tested. Dunno how new file replacer will work Install: 0) If 1.x versions were installed not in \windows\system32 directory, then you must unregister it. Or manually clean AppInit_DLLs [Google] key. 1) Run setuprp.exe, click Install. 2) Reboot. 3) PROFIT! Back up is in \system32: browseui.bak and comdlg32.bak Uninstall: In add/remove programs.

Well, it's no use as well as my algorithm - it does not work for system files. So, the question is - how to disable SFC temporarily or register those new files in system..?

Of course i can use another OS but i want my program to replace files automatically without this I wander how other system file patchers [for example Vista Icon/Transformation Pack] do this.

I'm writing system file patcher for my customization program. The problem is that Windows [2000 SP4] does not allow to replace system files, e.g. browseui.dll, comdlg32.dll I use MoveFileEx with MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag. It creates proper PendingFileRename key, however, if program is started not in Safe Mode, then file replacing does not happen on next boot. Windows 2000 SP4, sfc disabled via nLite [no dllcache folder at all] So - what to do? How to circumvent this issue?

Revolutions Pack for Windows 2000 is designed to be language neutral. This is goal for all versions. In fact, 2.0 is ready BUT! There is file replace issue. It fails to replace system file even if I specify to do this before startup It works if started in Safe Mode, but it is not comfortable. I'll release it after finding way ASAP.

Good news boys and girls! W'2000 Revolutions Pack 2.0 is coming. New: - Explorer Toolbar with 32-bit icons and disabled icon shading Fixed: - Problems with icons drawn on white (window) color - Toolbar 16-colored disabled icons were sometimes weird RP Installer: - Easy install/upgrade/uninstall - File patching (yea, i didn't want to, but some changes must be made) - Silent install & slipstreaming (possibly)

Please note that some parts from Windows 98 Revolutions for 2000 Revolutions too, for example Add/Remove programs applet replacement tool http://tihiy.ahanix.org/programs.zip Try and be impressed

This is most lamest things i've ever heard. FE contained same "active desktop, web integration, active x controls, direct x" in even worse implementation. SE file protection was same as FE and almost same as 95. SE >= FE, only this way.
