How do you enable the specail boot screen that is in Longhorn 4074 and Longhorn 4093?? It's the animated one...

Awsome guide. And it works too. This is the best!!!!!

@0vermind: You have to enable the lddm Drivermodell, the lddm effects, and the animated bootscreen. that is not hard... you can do this with one reg file... i'll pm it toyou if you want to. further you have to have an special graphiccard with lddm drivers, and do not try the good old beta1 ones, they wont work...

Thanks! Looks nice on my 4074.

Aww man so only a specail card can support it?? What how hard is it to support a bootscreen like that?? I mean I have a heavy duty nVidia Graphics Card won't that work?? It's a FX 5200.

To enable LDDM on Longhorn 4074, you can only use intel's integrated grantsdale-g graphics board which I think is the GMA900. And I am not kidding; ATI and nVidia did not have any drivers at the time 4074 was released.

Ludacris · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:26 am

thats true.. there are only the drivers which are integrated, and that are drivers for intelcards.... so no way to get it...

btw, it could be possible to activate dwm on 4093... you do not need the sbctl, the exe just starts the effect... Alphaaddict has made an app similar to the darkside dwm activator, so anyone could try that...

great, now i can reinstall it again.
which was the last version of longhorn that supported intel 900/915 gfx for aero?

Ludacris · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:40 am

aero yes, but not the lddm, btw has anyone 4093 installed, if yes pleas run:
rundll32 c:\windows\system32\uxdesk.dll, DwmStartComposition
that runs dwm

I'm wondering, why don't we have any screen shots?

Ludacris · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Apr 21, 2007 2:51 am

I just say there was an 43xx build that DWM..

Xammer · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sun Apr 22, 2007 2:42 am

There was no Longhorn 43xx build.
The 4xxx trunk stopped at 4094 (never leaked).
The last leaked build was 4093.

I have 3718, and often enable DWM, I have it on my laptop wich has a Mobility Radeon 9700 video card, so it should work. Anyways, it doesn't last for long. After a few seconds it goes back to normal.

Ludacris · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Aug 22, 2007 7:27 am

4093 has dwm if you add the sbctl and some other files
4039 has dwm to start the same comand as in 4074

And the 4074 is so buggy. After nabling the DWM I don't see the Content of a Window, only the animation when minimizing/maximazing the Window.

Did you check if installing the Longhorn 4074 ULTRA Edition patch (available on AeroXP in the Longhorn tweaks thread, it's the download link on page #4) contains some fixes for that? Besides that, I think 4074 is one of the best Longhorn builds.

Can I have a link, since the full glass with explorer working and glass taskbar would be awesome in my 4074

are there any screenshots of 4093 with DWM enabled? are there any specific requirements for this?

Or is there a build with 4094.

Just for your info :

Longhorn 4074 has FULL DWM - that includes AERO ( transparent Windows ) as well as transparent Taskbar/Sidebar - that stuff is pretty hard to find and it is hidden. Also you need to choose the Jade theme ( it wont work on "slate" ) and have that sidebar ENabled.

Allt these effects run on a Geforce 4200Ti, 128MB ( DX8 ) .

Every time it comes to hardware questions on older OS the answer is :

Just set your pc up with components that were "common" back then, not too old, but not newer than maybe two/three years off that release.

Longhorn 3xxx/4xx is based on XP 2600, so no SP2 featueres,no security, no S-Ata etc.
