hey windows x,

got to say, great work here. I love it.

Can i just ask you a few questions though, in your image that you posted on the first page your desktop seems like its a really high resolution and all your fonts look clean, mine appear jaggy.

Also, how did you get your clock to appear like it does? Mine just remains normal as it was before i installed the pack. Do i have to install a different toolbar or something?

I hope you can help.

cheers

That's cleartype. Click Effects in Display Appearance and change font smoothing to cleartype. For clock, that's Tile mode. Choose SideBar during transformation or run it again and activate SideBar.

Hello,

I just installed Longhorn Pack 6.0 but unfortunatelly my pc crashed after that.

The same thing happened when I installed Longhorn Pack 4.0 on the same PC a while ago, I thought Longhorn Pack 6.0 had fixed my past issues but I guess I was wrong.

I have Windows XP Pro on a 3.2GHZ 1GB Ram 8300 DELL PC. :D

This is what happens:

1. Downloaded Longhorn Pack 6.0

2. Installed Transformation Pack 6.0 with default options.

3. Followed instructions and restarted PC.

4. PC does not boot - it stays on with a black screen. :no:

5. I tried "fixboot" from Original Windows XP Pro CD but did not work. See step 4.

Fortunatelly, I have Drive Image to restore my system but is there any reason why this may happen? and does anyone know of any "complications" while installing Longhorn Pack 6.0? :huh:

Note: In the past I have installed Longhorn Pack 4.0 on less powerful Pc's without problems.

Thank you.

Andy

Please make sure you're using 6.0 (Re-Release) because first 6.0 will cause normal XP without any SP problems.

When can we expect the next version? Rough estimates of course

I'm planning about new things in 7.0 atm. Here're what in my mind now.

-Slip-Streaming function (Removed because not really worth than putting setup package in CD)

-Add/Remove Programs function (So ppl don't need to keep that huge file forever)

-Something new (What is it? I want to know too)

ok, i just tried installing the transformation pack (6 re-release) on a fresh install of XP. the only thing i installed was sp1a and the KB update that you recomended. the transformation appeared to work fine, but when it reboots it just sits at a black screen.

i also had this problem when i previously tried using 6.0, but i also had some sp2 updates, so i thought that might have been the problem.

but now that it doesn;t work with a fresh install, what am i doing wrong here :blink:

thanks

I'm sorry, I'm not one to bash other people's work, but how you can release this on the net with a clear conscience is absolutely beyond me. It seems that this hoses most people's XP installations, as it did mine (system restore did not help, only installing FlyaKite - the Apple transformation pack, which I assumed would modify the same files but properly - saved my system).

It's a shame because the VS is gorgeous. But dude, do some testing or at least call it what it is - BETA software that's bound to **** your computer up.

Yep but most ppl I know tested and found no problems. I wonder it could happened because of replacing boot screen in some case that make system crash. If you aren't sure about this, just choose manual mode and delete Longhorn Transformation Pack Files folder.

i tried installing it again, this time without replacing the boot screens. restarted the computer and it booted into windows. However, The login/logoff screen has changed, but nothing else.

No visual themes, fonts, icons, nothing but the login/logoff screens. i tried installing on manual mode, and the batch program gave "file not found" errors about five times and still said it finished sucessfully.

i have sp1a and the patch you suggested. i am unsure if my windows is build 2600 like you suggest, and how do i get it to that build? is that the problem? i really want to use this......

I mean you must change certain things about the boot and logon into the default files of XP.

please be more precise... all I did was install the damn thing and it made the whole system go fubar. I didnt do the bootscreen.. I thought its all automatic, what do you have to change?

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies The main developer of Messenger Plus!, Cyril aka.

    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
