when enlarging paint, everything gets smaller... when shrinking it like now, everything gets huge.



opening notepad: notice the 3d effect.

lol i forgot to reenable the sidebar <_<




wanna know how to enable 3d mode?

there is an app in the i386 folder of version 4074 which u can run. hell, u can run it at startup&#33;. here are the commands to run through the command prompt:

• Start: C:/windows/i386/sbctl.exe start
• Stop: C:/windows/i386/sbctl.exe stop

have fun. i didnt bother entering these into the regstry for one reason: my screen became VERY choppy on the 5700u. these are obviously not dX optimized so...


anyhoo have fun ;)

@ rossco: no need to worry bout build 4073 :P

ill start downloading 4074 tonight :)

btw, you didnt find this tweak, wasnt it in that lionk u sent me? :unsure:

edit: i see tht you use aim, do u also use msn by any chance?

lol did i say tht i found it?

NO&#33;

lol yes it was in the link ;)

i do use msn as i am signed up with verizon, but i have never used msn messenger in my life.

u have an AIM name, why dont u log on?




btw, AIM needs to be run in compatibility mode set to XP

also, the msdn site gives a tutorial for writing a sidebar addin. does any1 kno how to use the AIM DLLs? maybe we can get AIM into the sidebar?

holy crap you have alot of people on your aim list.

I got the same amount.

i maxed out my other 2 accounts :)

lol pleez dont start tormenting names on this list. already several ppl started to complain <_<


and i dont feel like reuploading pics so use common sense and dont steal buddies <_<

ya i have an aim name, but i hate aim and i dont have it installed, and dont plan to either...

It is good if you use deadaim with it, I only have 11 people on my aim list, have way more on yahoo though.

I dont get this what 3d fx all i see is a 2d background. :blink:

this looks crap and longhorn is not due out for a very long time yet. these betas you are getting have a debugger running in them which drains plenty of resources. just stick with xp i bet you its faster.

Beta yuke nasty
