MicroXP-v0 8 iso

_____________________________________________________________________ MicroXP v0.8 by eXPerience _____________________________________________________________________ Thank you for trying this special "MicroXP" edition of Windows XP. With a total installation size of just 200Mb and a CD size of just 99.9Mb, this has to be one of the smallest Windows XP installations out there. Whats more - you can use 99% of the programs you always use and up to now there is not one single report of any game not working in MicroXP. This installation takes only 4 Minutes 20 seconds. This install includes default XP drivers for Ethernet/Sound/SCSI/RAID It has all languages kept, except Chinese/Japanese/Korean. It has all keyboard layout choices kept. It also has Service Pack 3 final slipstreamed into it. _____________________________________________________________________ [Statistics] Installation time, in VMware, from ISO file, from end of formatting .......... 4 Mins 20 Secs RAM Usage On First Installation ........... 32.2 Mb Handles ................................... 1871 Threads ................................... 131 Processes ................................. 13 Entire Install Size ....................... 200Mb "Documents and settings" folder size ...... 1.59 Mb "Program Files" folder size ............... 2.79 Mb "WINDOWS" folder size ..................... 194 Mb Files In System32 ......................... 790 ISO File Size ............................. 99.9 Mb _____________________________________________________________________ [Services Remaining In Windows] Cryptographic Services DCOM Server Process Launcher DHCP Client Event Log Logical Disk Manager Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service Network Connections Plug and Play Print Spooler Remote Access Auto Connection Manager Remote Access Connection Manager Remote Procedure Call TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Telephony Windows Audio Windows Installer Wireless Zero Configuration All these services are enabled except "Print Spooler" which you will need to enable in "services.msc". To use the functionality you need, for example: a printer, just click the green square icon near the start button. There you can double click the service you need to use and even a novice user can now read the service descriptions and decide what to enable and what to keep disabled. For example if you have a Dial-Up connection (for example: ADSL Broadband) then it says "Dial-Up Connection" in the services as opposed to the long and overly technical descriptions put in by Microsoft by default. The services window can be set so you can see all service names and all columns in the services window are fully visible. Just click "Standard" at the bottom and double click all the columns at the top where the top row joins the columns. When you install some programs, they might put a new service in and add their own long and overly technical descriptions, nevermind, its nice whilst it lasts. _____________________________________________________________________ [eXPerience Desktop Folder Contents] Desktop Icon Layout (Lets you save your desktop icon layout) Driver Install Tool (Easily install all your drivers, see ReadMe) Keyboard Settings (Quick access to Regional and Language options) Registry Backup (Make a complete backup of the registry in one click) Services Config (Files to enable and disable functionality) Web Browser (Browzar, to download a full browser of YOUR choice) Windows Media Player 11 (This is just a readme file about WMP11) _____________________________________________________________________ [WHAT YOU CANNOT DO] This is a greatly reduced installation of Windows XP Professional SP3 Please read these notes BEFORE using this edition of Windows: * * * * * * * * * * * * - STANDALONE SYSTEM ONLY No local networking is possible. The "Network Connections" service has been kept in this edition of Windows to stop errors when installing Ethernet card or modem drivers. The "Network Connections" service is not there to support LAN networking. You can of course just try to plug another computer into your MicroXP computer, but networking in this way is not guaranteed to work, because the related services for this are removed (Computer Browser and Workstation). * * * * * * * * * * * * - SINGLE USER ONLY You cannot add any additional users. Do not try to add more users, otherwise your main account that is used by default (Administrator) will become the new account and after logging in, you will not have any desktop theme (not even Classic) and the whole account will be ruined. You'll probably have to install Windows again because if you make a new account it replaces "Administrator" and tries to log you in with "Default User" - the problem with this is - there is no "Default User" anymore. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO WEBCAMS, SCANNERS OR DIGITAL CAMERAS You cannot use these devices in this version of Windows, because the "Windows Image Acquisition" service is removed. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO NATIVE SUPPORT FOR FTP SITES There is no "built in" support for downloading from FTP sites, try using Filezilla or WS_FTP if you need to do that. Even just Opera or Firefox can probably do it. This functionality is gone because the "Application Layer Gateway" service is gone, along with ALG.EXE that normally runs in Task Manager, taking up about 6Mb RAM for what amounts to no reason. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO VISITING WINDOWS UPDATE You cannot visit Windows Update with this version of Windows because Internet Explorer is removed. You can manually download updates from Microsoft and you can also use the alternative "Windiz" Update website through Opera or Firefox. Because so much has been removed from this edition of Windows, you are not likely to be any more "safe" installing updates for Windows. NOTE: Because this edition of Windows uses a patched "winlogon.exe" in order to remove the "oembios.bin" file, you really should not update Windows anyway, in case "winlogon.exe" gets replaced by an update. There are more details about this in the eXPerience folder on the desktop once MicroXP is installed. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO FAST USER SWITCHING Apart from you only being able to have the one account anyway (Administrator) the ability to do Fast User Switching is also removed. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO PASSWORD STORAGE/AUTOCOMPLETE Windows will not save stored passwords, however, this only really applied to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are removed. You will be fine using Firefox or Opera web browsers and Thunderbird email client for emails. Those are self contained programs and take care of storing your passwords by themselves. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO CD-ROM AUTOPLAY When you insert a CD that would bring up a screen to install the program contained on the CD, this does not happen in this version of Windows, you will have to explore the CD manually and run whatever file it is that runs the program's setup, usually "setup.exe" on the root of the CD. If the CD has a file called "AUTORUN.INF" then open that file and look at which .exe file is listed in "AUTORUN.INF" * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO SMART CARD DETECTION * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO SCHEDULED TASKS You cannot set programs, like AntiVirus or Hard Disk Defrag programs to run in the future IF they need the Scheduled Tasks service in Windows. If you are going to run those types of programs you will have to manually scan or defrag whenever it is convenient. Despite this, one program that will schedule its operations is Perfectdisk defrag, you do not need Task Scheduler for this program to run a scheduled defrag. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO REMOTE DESKTOP There is no Remote Desktop in this version of Windows because the "Terminal Services" service is removed. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO THEMES You cannot have the Luna (Blue/Olive/Silver) desktop theme in this version of Windows, the only theme you can choose is "Windows Classic" which it is already set to by default. You can however install "Windowblinds" if you want to and it will work fine, Windowblinds does not rely on the Themes service. You could even make MicroXP look like Vista with the "Ironjer" AeroGlass The Remix V4. Use v4 not v5 of that if you use it. * * * * * * * * * * * * - NO "UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY" SERVICE I always thought "UPS Service" delivered parcels but apparently not, if you have this type of device then it will not work on this version of Windows. A UPS is only used for emergencies like if you have a power cut - thats if you even have such a device. ######################################### NFO IS CONTINUED BELOW IN THE FIRST REPLY #########################################

[WHAT YOU CAN DO]
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- PROGRAMS -
You can still install and run just about all the programs and games
that you can run on a normal installation of XP. There is a text file
in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs
that work and includes some that don't work (not many). Even Office
2007 installs on this version of Windows
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- GAMES -
Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not
working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all
about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of
Windows I have ever tested.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -
You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem).
This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems,
a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this
edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well
as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even
an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM
with 4Mb graphics cards.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- WEB BROWSER -
This installation already includes a basic web browser called
"Browzar" that uses a few core files left from Internet
Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select
files included in this installation that come from Internet
Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer
related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do
in this edition of Windows. This "Browzar" web browser is only here
so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape
or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD,
but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get
the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash
v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and
YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- PASSES WGA CHECKS
If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from
Microsoft's downloads section, you will need to "validate" windows
by running the "GenuineCheck.exe" file that Microsoft asks you to
download as part of the "Windows Genuine Advantage" checks. Its
fine to do this, don't be scared of your key being blacklisted.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11
You can install Windows Media Player 11 in this edition of Windows.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- WMV STREAMS -
Once you have installed Opera, Firefox, Netscape or the browser
of your choice, as long as you install Windows Media Player 11,
you can stream Windows Media Videos from websites like the BBC's
News website, or anywhere that has WMV streams. This is possible
because there are three DLL files added to the "Windows Media
Player" folder in "Program Files". Don't worry, theres no Windows
Media Player there, it only contains the vital DLL files for
streaming compatibility in Firefox and Opera.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
- FLASH -
If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special
"MicroXP" edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google
Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just
watch the videos right away.

 Antje14 (2008-06-12)

Ok why would you need browzar if you could of just type www.google.com into the adress bar of an explorer window and download firefox or opera from there...

 eXPer1ence (2008-06-12)

Because it does not work.
Just tried it now and got:
The page cannot be displayed.
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

tsubasa-chan (2008-06-20)

sorry if this is a stupid question.. but does this work with parallels?

sparklysparks (2008-06-25)

One question: Will I be able to run an ADSL connection AND Forex robots if I install this vesion of windows? Sounds like a great thing to have especially if your system is out of date (like mine is) and it is not cheap to upgrade...

Triffid123 (2008-07-08)

Does not work with EeePC 900.
Locks out and wants Administrator password after a while.

professorfalcon (2008-07-23)

I don't know what Triffid123 did wrong.
Works great on EEE 900!
Very fast performance.
You need to download the XP drivers from Asus website.
Installed Sophos Antivirus, M-Office and no errors.
I tried to install Jaws 7.0 (screenreader for blind people) but it failed to install Sapi5 voices. Inernal speech synthesiser Eloquence did work.

pb4skinny9 (2008-08-24)

ProfessoFalcon I want to install on eeepc but don't have USB cd/dvd drive. Did you install from flash drive? If so, how? Also, MicroXP says it doesn't handle web cams. Does your eeepc web cam work?

Darkspy946 (2008-09-08)

Nomaxs (2008-10-21)

Hi jet If you look at -
....
to me this project seems to be part of the Windows Starters Edition .. see here in the texts says :
First-time home computer users can take advantage of the core Windows XP features in a simplified and more affordable version. To simplify the Windows operating system, some features are limited in Windows XP Starter Edition.
Listed below are some of the differences between Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Starter Edition.
· In Windows XP Starter Edition, only three programs can run concurrently, and three windows per program can be open at once.
· PC-to-PC home networking is not supported.
· Sharing printers across a network is not supported.
· Multiple user accounts on one computer are not supported.
Looks like you have the same limits in MicroXP here ..
I can write and tell more but READ my two comments in v0.82 ...
