No. RP7 does not run such a program and does not include any 3rd party programs. What is "XP method"?

This request should go into RP thread. RP does not support DBCS systems, and won't support them since i don't have any.

Win95cmd.exe - excellent find! Does anyone have consize.exe? As for solution, command.com and cmd.exe can be merged so command.com will work under DOS, and cmd.exe in Windows. I'll try to do that.

^^ Oh that's crap. And you won't succeed if you're unable to overcome limitations. What is "invisable borders"? You can just tweak scheme to make border size = 0, and make border bitmaps with the same color as window color. Because your caption buttons won't be resized, you'd better use AeroButtons=1 and tweak AeroButtonsTop and AeroButtonsMinRight. You may also need to convert those bitmaps to 32-bit color ones with alpha channel.

In fact, i hope you still can launch everything except explorer.exe You can 1) try to launch explorer.exe from \windows\revbckup 2) try to reinstall RP in both cases, you still must be able to run programs via ctrl-alt-del->run program or with some other trick, like specifying winfile.exe instead of explorer.exe in system.ini [boot] shell=

^^ You've messed up your system seriously after RP. You should restore your explorer.exe file from ME CD or reinstall RP.

Oh my god. Disable and kill Active Desktop with fire plz. Update video card drivers, set 32-bit video mode, disable everything from startup, and then install RP. That's what i can say for now

In latest NVidia drivers, i experienced bad performance in 3D and movie playing until - i switched "monitor synchronization" from auto to something else This may help.

Someone should slice off your head for this 5 MB of graphic s***!!! :realmad:

Well, it is interesting but too unpolished: - Boring color scheme - Small caption buttons - Taskbar buttons bug - Active/Unactive windows use same color NoPremultAlpha must be =0 in all themes one want to make. NoPremultAlpha=1 is used only in Vista basic skin because Microsoft made bitmaps in Vista msstyles purposefully with pre-multiplied alpha channel. There is no tool to pre/de-multiply alpha channel for images, so that switch was made.

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.
