Shutting down Calmira XP, which is awkwardly implemented. Most of the other icons have changed as well. It still is configured through the properties.Īnd yes, accessories is misspelled as "Accessoires". The start menu is not that much different.
#Calmira xp windows
The taskbar also takes the form of the Windows XP taskbar.Īgain, I apologize for the deplorable graphics this is the best I can do. Odd.Īs you can see, the My Computer and Recycle Bin (or oddly called Trash Bin here) have recieved new high-color XP-style icons, however all the others appear unchanged. Speaking of graphics, it seems to have jacked up the color scheme. Even with 256 color mode it doesn’t look better than this, and I was not willing to hack something together to make it look better, so I apologize in advance for the bad graphics.
#Calmira xp iso
resort to… transferring the ISO onto my iPAQ Pocket PC… and Bluetoothing it to my USB dongle plugged into my laptop!! It took a while I’ll tell you that… 6 hours and 17 minutes… is when I stopped counting.Īnyway, I’ve finally got an NTFS partition and it’s finally installing… but it’s taking bloody ages to install.These screenshots were taken with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 using the generic VGA driver.
#Calmira xp how to
Now, the problem with Windows 98 is, is that it’s so bloody old! I’d totally forgotten how to work the networking in it! So I couldn’t get the ISO image off the DVD disk of genuine Windows XP because I couldn’t download the program again! So I had to….
#Calmira xp install
So, Windows 98 is up and running which means that I will be able to put Windows XP onto it (not the recovery disk) and in the setup of that, converts it to an NTFS file system, the one required to install Windows Vista onto. I reinstall Windows 98 onto it twice because it froze half way through. So then I put in the Windows 98 disc I have which I know for a fact will boot up. So, I get my Windows XP disc (not the recovery one) and put that in – I restart and try and get it to boot up but nothing, carries on loading the operating system. Now, this laptop was preinstalled with Windows XP when I bought it, and recovery disks so that I just put them in and it’s an exact copy as as I first bought it. Then, it tells me that the hard disks on my laptop have been formatted with a FAT file system (the way Windows arranges the files). I get the “Welcome to Windows Vista” install screen up and sit back and click through the pages. So I have to trawl round the Internet looking for a specific program which is a bitch to get hold of, and finally download and install it. I download the ISO file (the DVD contents but as one file to make it easier) and then find that I can’t extract the files with my usual program. OK, so Microsoft Beta released a new build version of Windows Vista yesterday, with their trademarked catchphrase of “clear, confident, connected”, so far it’s caused me nothing but trouble.

#Calmira xp full
I don’t know what’ll happen when this webpage gets full up – maybe he’ll have multiple pages… which means multiple million dollars? Who knows… Many big companies have joined up and bought pixels on this webpage – The Times newspaper, UK Government Speed Cameras website, but also plenty of online casinos and “free things”. Now the thing is with this, is website is more than just a great money maker and a great source of advertising, it’s Internet artwork.
The larger the space, the larger the amount of money it is to buy.
So if you wanted an advertisement that was 10×10 in pixels, it would be $100 (about £70).
There are 1,000,000 (1 million) pixels on this particular page, and every single pixel is $1 each. His idea, the “Million Dollar Homepage” was this – get a single standard HTML page and sell pixels as advertisements on this page. A lad named Alex Tew from Wiltshire, UK came up with a really inventive, very intelligent and quick way to make money, very quickly.
