I don't understand why you would shutdown your site.. it has nothing to do with win 8 at all...

Can you at least make the info available?

ok it is back. phew.

Thank you, it's an invaluable resource. You gave me a scare there, should have done it yesterday

Phew.
I would rather like to stick to older betas from now on, newer just take more space and make more problems.

But... main MCB is 404'd.

Maybe clear your cache ..

Ah, Rob, MCB is back =)

I moved the main site back .
Anyway, please read the notice I posted on MCB.

It wasn't meant to scare people off, just wanted to show that some people are taking beta's way to seriously.

and those 404 messagges still scare me sometimes...

everything should work as it did before

Small Update that warrents a new post:

I got glass working in VMWare in Microsoft Longhorn 4039!!


I have also updated it on my website in the older section:
http://www.microsoftcollectionbook.com/windows.php?page=windows/NT60/client/6040390/D1

It only needs 3 files and some drivers which will be posted on the same page in an hour or 2.


It is highly unstable.
It tends to display the taskbar in black (restart explorer for this) and it sometimes hangs.

hb860 is so kind to provide an working VM.
Just needs to activate it with C:\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe start

It can be found later on on Dans34 VM Store (if he accepts the 1.4gb download).

btw what happened to ultrawindows' twitter page?

Yes i have uplaoded it as it was given to me ,

Here

Dans, VM is debombed/activated told hb860 to me ...

yes as far as i know It contains Longhorn 4039, debommed and with ''Aero'' Glass.

Yup, only a notice maybe because you said on your site "All virtual machines have been installed with default settings unless otherwise stated."?

Yea thanks , i did forget to add that extra line to the download

some screens to make the site even better

adding Widnows 1.x (from Beta) to 3.x (3.2) bootscreens plus 3.00 with Multimedia Extensions

I did that once, but was unable to recieve transparency/glass, only a full foggy blur

Are there anymore steps/actions I must do to achieve this? Plus, it made the OS very unstable

Download the Virtual Machine, run "C:\windows\i386\sbctl.exe start" and have fun.

also, another update (soon I hope) is a guide about how to get a CD-ROM Driver to work in NT 3.1 in Virtual PC, the Adapter Adaptec AHA-2940 should work

CD-ROM Drives in VPC do not work in NT 3.1 (at least, maybe all 3.x) use SCSI CD-ROM's, VPC uses IDE drives, which do not work.

Microsoft Windows XP Starter Edition Update on \beta

Awesome work Can't wait to see the new version RTMed

NT 3.5 and 3.51 work

Sorry for the double post:

And since VMware supports SCSI drives, it would be better to install NT 3.1 there, and is the S3 Video Driver supported there?

Just use the edit button

Anyway.
VMWare supports SCSI Drives but also does not work.
Also it does not support the S3 Video driver.

You can try the VBEMP Driver, but I can't find an active download for it, and when I have tried it, it failed to even install.

Just use the installation guide given, it is easy to follow.

then trying setting up the hard disk as IDE and CD-ROM drive as SCSI?, hmm could work, or will not and gives a BSOD about the boot device?
