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.

great! Thanks...just what I needed to know... :D

next, to work on an unattended install if I like it... :whistle:

Eh, Section 31, I downloaded the patch and its still the same ?

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.

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 2920 MHz Game Clock Up to 2340 MHz Stream Processors 3072 Memory Clock 18 Gbps Memory Size 12 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 192-bit Memory Bandwidth 432 GB/s Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Max Displays (Multi-view) 4 Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 50 mm (L × W × H) Recommended Power Supply 700 W Power Connectors 2 × 8-pin Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
