Windows XPee

Where can I get some good xp boot screens or themes. Oh yea, tomorrow will another anniversary for the 9/11 attacks; not that it will result in any changes in my behavior. I have been alerted by the RIAA that P2P networks are somehow contributing to the financial funding of terrorist networks. GO FIGURE>

well, for the first part, check out http://www.themexp.org/ - they have some pretty good stuff there (of course, you gotta be running style xp - or just run linux, where theme add-on comes with most guis by default :) )

How can I get that windows xp music pirate edition boot screen

[aboi]

becarfull with changing bootscreens it can fuck up your windows xp. And heres another advice themexp has sould its soul and bundles their files with adware

[black_magiic]

I just read into that about boot screens and im just going to avoid it. I dont want to screw anything up. I probably wouldnt and If I did I could probably fix it but I just dont want to get into that. Even if that Windows XP Music Pirate edition is cool

[homie_da_clownx]

its easy if you take the necessary precautions, its not brain science or anything. go ahead and edit the "look" its fun.

my friend tried to change his boot screen and it took him nearly a week to fix it. good thing too cuz he was about to break out the recovery cd. i advice to you guys is if your on SP1 be vary carefull, for those of you on SP2 don't bother. i mean its just a boot screen. you only see it for 5 to 10 seconds.

Im on SP1 and im thinking maybe I will try it now, my only worry is that school just started and I dont want to screw up my computer because I need it for school. Im going to do it with Style XP does that make it safer or is it better doing it maually

Though you can change both the boot screen and logon screen manually, I use a program found at http://themes.belchfire.net/~userxp/ called LogonUIBootRandomizer. Its freeware and seems free of any spyware. Some people think that changing the boot screen can result in some catastrophic collapse of your system, though unlikely I would advise you to backup your system files, personally I never had any problems. :playboy

Aboi is correct, I checked themexp and it bundles its software with adware, but its possible to use their boot screens without installing any adware by using LogonUIBootRandomizer or equivalent. Also remember that a boot screen that works for xp sp1 may not work for xp sp2.

what are peoples oppinions of StyleXP 2 is it any good

[black_magiic]

Can some body please give me some kind of reccomendation as to if I shoul use it or not

theres an easy program out there thats free and should change your bootscreens easily, no risks or whatever i think

look up stardock for it

[Atarius]

I've never used Style xp but I have heard it patchs Windows XP to use unsigned visual styles. It can drastically change the appearance of desktop themes, but to do so it changes at least one system file and might result in system instability and diminished computer performance. Whether to use it or not depends on what you want to do.
