RJARRRPCGP Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) You must be very well connected then 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 It don't support resolutions higher than 1024x768 without turning down the refresh rate.

Aegis Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 @Ripken204You mean shell? Available choices are Task Manager, Windows Explorer, and Command Prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 why not support them all?it is possible to switch shells only by the registry, atleast in norm xp, dont know about xpe tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 @Spazmire11They are all supported. I just want to know which one should be default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 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.

Sofer Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I say go with cmd as default with options to change it for the people who want to use explorer or task manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Is it still possible to use Program Manager as a shell anymore? I couldn't find it in my current XP install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 add or remove programs?it wont be added in as a defualt but u could add it in yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 No he means progman.exe. I think that's a 16-bit app that dates back to Windows 3.0 . 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 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 but isnt there a component that will allow 16bit programs to run on a 32bit windows? i know its in nlite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurens Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 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.
