Actually DCE is broken in 4008, so you may want to try 4011 or 4015 if you want to enable DCE. Also, keep in mind that you will need to install graphics driver in order to get DCE fired up.

Back in the day I used this little app from the DarkSide Project, I believe it worked on several LH builds but not sure about those before 4074.

I tried opening dwm in Windows Longhorn 4042 and 4066, and I also believe that DWM is also in Windows Longhorn 4093

Hello friend, I noticed that you said a "little app from the DarkSide Project". Could you let me know what is "DarkSide Project" and what the app is? Because I've never seen such Project before in this forum. Thank you so much! :)
