The OFFICIAL Longhorn (ALPHA) Thread

[Phil Gates]

Can someone help me tweak longhorn from safemode so that it will run on 160MB ram, like disabling winfs

it better run on 192mb of ram :huh:

ok, i'm burning the fixed bootable lh_m3 disk, will i be able to insert the cd, do the setup, have it reboot into LH setup, and finish?!! last time before the fix it didn't work out that easily...

[PureEdit]

Works fine for me on 128 :p

trav, how do i disable thing thing u were talking about....

[Glowstick]

I finally slapped it onto my box...

- WinFS is a simple SQL Server daemon atm

- WinFS is an emulation

- WinFS ain't that slow for me

- WinFS emulation and/or the new file dialog make apps to hang

- GDI+ 2.0 ain't in there

- Nothing special except for the new skin and the sidebar

- My soundcard (SBAudigy) won't work

Conclusion? Not worth it in this state.

[Grey$cale]

I have running it off of Virtual Pc so it is very some for some reason..hmm..it's ok though, i still get to see it, but we won't see the real changes until the first beta is leaked..or "given" to us.. =)

[Darrian]

Or you can just go to services and disable it...

Aha,It seems that an general mistake will happen when you download something with new IE in longhorn,i can only use ftp programs to download software,so i suggest waitting for at least a BETA version of the new operating system.

[divinatum]

use Phoenix,Mozilla,or Opera.. :rolleyes: (ima try a download manager in a little while see if it works)

lol, i clicked here because i thought u would share your knowledge.

haha cheers. i got it installed etc, any ways to add minimized windows to the sidebar?

[[idkfa]]

i've extracted the cd and re-created it bootable, too, but it bitches about not being able to load some catalogues or something.

i imagine it's because of these mui-files, but i can't find the page anymore that described what to do with them :(

can anyone help me out?

[Greenmuncher]

this is probably a stupid question...

but where the hell do i find the sidebar in longhorn? I can't for the life of me find it.

[Steve]

Ummm... Goto Start and taskbar Properties, and u're'll find in it the same way you'd setup Auto Hidin on the Taskbar! ;)

Guys, Anyone know a way 2 get the SideBar Display running Apps?! ... Whats the point in merging Side and Taskbar, if u can't see Running Apps?!

... Good Ol' Object Dock 2 the Rescue! :D

...(Having Side and Taskbar leaves Less Screen estate than mac os x!)

Neyo

u can't use any other program to extract . iso buster is the only one that has succeded to finish the job correctly. use the tutorial on iexbeta.com and follow the directions exactly and it works like a charm.

[divinatum]

enable the programs thing. ;) (i think) illl check later for you

[mcnelson]

um, installed it fine from HDD....first boot took ages, disabled WINFS as my grandma is speedier....enabled sidebar, installed KX drivers for SB plat live 5.1 (worked fine)....not set up to do any net stuff so can't comment on the IE6.5 issues. Seems a bit slow still, running on 320mb ram. Bored now, gotta love that clock tho.
