question.... is there a reason I can't figure out how to install it?  Doesn't seem to be an .exe or .msi...  All I got is a 40.9mb "Longhorn" file...

help out my retardedness... gracias...  :huh:

I had that problem too initially. The extension should be .rar, just rename it and it'll work fine.

anyone know if the standalone exe replacement file only contains the boot screen? or does it have other files as well..

i like my current bootscreen...so if I don't need to install the exe because it is only a bootscreen, I don't think I will, but i want to know if I will miss out on other goodness...

I think the Boot Screen is in the LH Refined XT package. The reason you have to uncheck the .EXE file component is that the Boot Screen is buggy and can mess up your XP installation. The patch does not replace your current boot screen or the default boot screen. It installs the other .EXE files without installing the Boot Screen.

Okay. You've done everything right so far. All you need to do now is use the visual style(s) that came with the LH Refined XT package, and use the flower wallpaper.

Oh, never mind about that then, Section 31.

I tried.. :p

aman01 - It won't crash your computer as long as you do everything right. It's quite simple actually. Just uncheck the .EXE file component in the files component checklist while installing LH Refined XT. Then once you are done installing it get the patch and install that.

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
