Xpize questions

[WarStorm]

Ok Ive heard much about your program. Im interested in installing it however i have a few questions.

After installtion will Windows Update still work and protect me with the latest patches (will i recieve errors when patching?)

Can you explain the 'updater' Xpize comes with

Is this program dangerous at all...lol like will i install it and find i cant start windows?

Many thanks

first off, get 3.2. don't try the beta. it's not a dangerous program, it's not "our program". windows update will still work. the updater searches for files that were updated and no longer "look good" and updates them again. I see that you already posted in the forums. :p

Thanks for your help!!!

No, if you know what you;re doing you're not going to have any problems at all. And if you do have problems, you can easily uninstall it. Microsoft Update still works perfect, even with the latest beta I'm using. Don't try the beta, it may still have some bugs which might cause problems and stop windows from booting. Use the beta only at your own risk and if you want to try and find bugs.

Sorry but what is XPize for? I've went to the site and read about it and do not understand what it means by non-XP icons.

Windows XP by default has lots of old Windows 9x/2000 16 bit icons integerated into the shell. XPize was originally a self installing package that will update them and make XP more "vibrant". It now has alot of extra features packed into the install that makes XP look like the new Media Centre skin.

I recommend you don't let it change the command prompt in the installation options.

Does it run in the background consuming resources or its changes are permanent?

[Tiftof]

it'll probably make permanent changes without running in the background. It's just changing icons.

Is there an uninstaller with this thing?

[Slimy]

yes there is and yes it's "permanent".

[Hankyone]

its a shell pack, just like flyakite's OSx (exept it doesn't XPize, it OSXize)

Oh, probably something not for me then. Since I have my personal icons everywhere, this sounds like they'll be replaced.

if you mean icons on specific folders or shortcuts, they won't change. if you mean file extensions, there is an option to change those if you want.
