Great job flyakite,

but in my windows XP (Prof, SP1, german) the shut-down and log-off dialogs are looking weird. A mixture of panther in the background and xp icons in the foreground. I used the batchmode function in safe-system mode.

Although i am on a hyperthreaded machine, the boot-screen works, but it is only black and white.

Everything works and looks great, except, when I go in to Display Properties to change my wallpaper, the computer always switches back to the Windows Classic theme instead of the Windowblinds theme that was already set.  Any ideas of what I should check ??  Version 6.0 beta worked great and I didn't have that problem.  I appreciate any help, Flyakite.

I had this problem too but I also had it without any mods to the system it would just go back to win classic mode. This is a windowblinds bug it did it on ver 4.2 and 4.3.

Flyakite,

Fist of all: I'm totally amazed by 1stly your new site design (totally Slick, Aqua & Tigerish) and 2ndly of course by your new v.6 installer. :rock:

Same here.

Dutch version of WinXP pro sp1, .Net, DirectX 9.0c Win-update done before installing. Using WB 4.3. (& OD, but I don't expect that to interfere).

I've Batchmodded the whole shebang to keep my native language intact.

Used to do this for a while to keep WinXP up-to-date without losing the Aqua-look.

As a matter of fact my resources 'till now were batchmodded Flyakite 5.1.

But, like digimatik, I get that mixed shutdown/logoff phenomena with version 6.

[2]

My context menu, display properties, e.o. haven't changed in size/layout like in your screenshots of version 6 (and version 5.1 for that matter). Instead I get the original sizes of winxp with the new Panther icons. :(

Any ideas on these?

Besides that, again, my respect for what you've accomplished with your new installment. Now, only if I could get it to work properly... :rant:

Respect,

wiebeEST

Run the installer.  On the components page, choose the "Extract Files Only" install type. Click next.  Choose the folder you want to extract the files to.  There you go :)

Thanks Flyakite - I`m sure I love it ; )

#198185

This is awesome. Thanks for building this.

Only bug I have found: the "order prints online" function in Explorer doesn't seem to work with 6.0 installed. This same bug seemed to occur for me for 5.1. Any ideas?

#198190

:cry: A terrible promblem occured in my computor!!

When I finished installing it, restarted the computer, then I was not able to enter XP again. My system crashed!!

It shows that after the boot screen, it restarted. And I can't enter the Safe Mode.

So who can help me?? Or who can give me the command of "revert system" in DOS mode??

No, there used to be something like that, but that feature no longer exists because there was issues with it.

The following info I will post in the FAQ section on the bottom as well:

If you can't get into windows after restart or uninstall, try this:

  • Using your XP cd boot into the recovery console (If you don't know how, GOOGLE) or if you know how to do it using Safe-Mode use that method


  • Once in the console you should see a prompt like C:\WINDOWS


  • type "copy c:\windows_backup\logonui.exe c:\windows\system32"  without the quotes. If it asks you to overwrite say yes


  • do that same thing for the following files:
    shdocvw.dll
    shell32.dll
    msgina.dll
    ntoskrnl.exe
    comctl32.exe

If that still doesn't work then at the moment I don't know what to tell you.

HOWEVER: In one users case, the installer alerted the user that his OS language was not English, and highly recommended using "Extract Files Only" and using batchmod to mod his own files, but he did not.

There is a reason alerts like that are put into place people.  Pay attention to them please.

In some german versions of XP changing/replace the user32.dll let crash

the system.

Using your XP cd boot into the recovery console (If you don't know how, GOOGLE) or if you know how to do it using Safe-Mode use that method

Once in the console you should see a prompt like C:\WINDOWS

type "copy c:\windows_backup\*.* c:\windows\system32"  without the quotes. If it asks you to overwrite say yes (ALL)

:lol: Yes, I solved the problem. Thanks!!!

So I'm still using FlyakiteSP1 5.1 now. It matches my system perfectly!!

Thanks a lot flyakite...works great!

#198237

AWSOME :D

this is really great..

thanks

#198253

Ya, more about user32.dll, it is a very problematic .dll and only should be replaced if on language 1033, English(American). Do not replace if another version of XP is installed because it will most likely lead to problems.

#198270

First of all to my good colleague Chris (ResHacker God):

Your work my friend is always appreciated, and I thank you so much for taking the time on IM to get me familar with the fantastic, new & improved Restorator 2004 v3.00 Build 1129 app!

To be able to run my present sysfiles, after my reformats (lol) because of my own mistakes, with the comctl32.dll files within WinSxS Directory, and have all the most recent critical patches also installed brings a huge smile to moi! Being able to replace shell32.dll resources so easily with two clicks of my touchpad is outstanding, and now having the peace of mind of it being the lastest version from MS...

You went out-of-your-way, to also get me hookup with a great LogonUI.exe (that I just replaced over my default, ugly WinXP SP1 one) runs and looks great on my smaller laptop resolution...and also hooked me up with your great OSX Bootscreen, with animation....(which you made work beautifully with BootXP app)

What more can I say but you are the man!

;) :woot: :rock:

[Help] I have a problem opening up "Open Movie in a New Player, Open Image in Quicktime

Seems for now its some kind of problem with when I select the open command on the programs they just crash to my desktop instead of bringing up the window to select a file in explorer. Am I the only one with this issue.

This issue exists with Quicktime, Divx, AveText, AvePreview and in Objectbar, the ability to Add programs to the Exclusiion option in Ojbectbar. Strange stuff.

I have a problem.. i've just installed flyakite'sSP1 v6.0. and upon restart my taskbar is empty even when folders are minimized. only way to get back to them is alt+tab.

Also when using the NEOS theme i have nothing on the taskbar apart from the clock and system tray. Even the start menu is missing, along with any folders.. Any ideas about how to fix this?!? :(
