[How-to] - Windows XP Gamer's Edition

Featured Replies

You must be very well connected then :D

And sure, i'll take some SSs later and post em on imageshack or something. It might be cause i tested it on my new gaming laptop I got for christmas ^^

Edit:

Tried it on my desktop, it's an alienware with a Samsung monitor. Even though the Geforce card in the computer is capable of resolutions up to 2048, the screen on the computer itself says cannot display when you try to go over 1024x768 even with double dpi on. So my laptop must just be cool like that :D

It don't support resolutions higher than 1024x768 without turning down the refresh rate.

You mean shell? Available choices are Task Manager, Windows Explorer, and Command Prompt.

why not support them all?

it is possible to switch shells only by the registry, atleast in norm xp, dont know about xpe tho.

They are all supported. I just want to know which one should be default.

my input:

taskmaneger: everyone can use to get to their files, it dose however use quite alot of ram for such little.

cmd.exe: some users may not be very comfortable with usage, hard to get to files if you do not know were they are, easy to use once familerized with.

windows explorer:

taskbar mode: everyone knows it, but withought a theme it could use better looks.

explorer mode: is easy to get around with and open files, dosent realy offer a task killer if a program/game frezes also lacks system control(shutdown,restart,logoff)

out of all thos areas to look at i would go wtih taskmaneger for a defualt and make it realy easy to switch to the users choice.

also be aware thos arent the only shells on this platform. there are free, well supported alternatives. some i could say run better then explorer.

I say go with cmd as default with options to change it for the people who want to use explorer or task manager.

i pick taskmanager, but i think that aegis will have a list of different options that you can install or not install, all u need to do is check it

Is it still possible to use Program Manager as a shell anymore? I couldn't find it in my current XP install.

add or remove programs?

it wont be added in as a defualt but u could add it in yourself

No he means progman.exe. I think that's a 16-bit app that dates back to Windows 3.0 :P. Dunno why so many people like it...If you want to use it as a shell, just edit the Registry. I can't support it because it's 16-bit and by default, GE won't have 16-bit support (we're already moving on to 64-bit :P).

but isnt there a component that will allow 16bit programs to run on a 32bit windows? i know its in nlite.

Yes there is, but in Windows XP X64 there is not. XP X64 only support 32 and 64bit

sound is now working

but somehow my video driver wont install.... although it worked before

so im hoping that we will be getting a beta out pretty soon since this stuff is now working

so sounds working hope you dont mind these q's:

hows winamp support, do versions 2,3,5 work?

hows codec support? will the klite mega codec pack work?

minor, if winamp dose not work hows windows media player?

thx for the answers

winamp needs some dlls, i havnt tried to fix it yet as ive just gotten sound to work, but winamp should work once i get the dlls in there

ive got all of the standard MS codecs in there...

vlc works fine but aegis said that he will try to get some nvidia media player in there
