    can't be cause scooby's comes up non-genuine for me this one doesn't. Maybe he meant that he got the idea of all the parts from MDL.

    Patched systemcpl.dll is required to prevent the issues created by patched slc.dll. The new systemcpl.dll uses slx.dll (the original slc.dll, renamed) instead of slc.dll.

    Yep, crashes explorer for me too, if it ain't one thing it's another, but this one I can deal with.

    redpill

    ctrl+shift+f9

    modern reader.exe

    Mine worked but now does not even open :/ I hate how Microsoft are bothering about the Tablet functions more than the desktop functions.. If this is a Tablet OS more than Desktop it'll be another Vista.

    I decided to give up, at least until a properly working slc.dll will be done. Metro Login is cool, but I want my Aero back, and a usable system.

    Ok you can have both =\. Just use the slc.dll from the vista beta. You will get metro login and stable system? The only problem we have is that computer > properties doesn't load, which isnt a big deal at all.

    I can't use it Vista's slc, it would f*** up my 8 install 'cause I'm booting it from a VHD, and Vista's slc doesn't support it.

    Use the one I linked, and the only thing that doesn't work is genuine center, which is fine by me LOL

    Same as before. Until I know it works on VHD too, I can't use it.

    Huh? Slc is for activation, it has nothing to to with booting from a virtual hard disk?:confused:


    Also, im pretty sure to fix the virtual machine junk, all you have to do is enable acpi 2.0 in the options.


    And the 3 files reed just linked worked perfectly for me.

    It's not virtual machine, is 8 booting on a VHD. You can boot VHDs with Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 boot manager.

    If you use an slc.dll coming from a build that doesn't support boot from VHD, you can't login anymore.

    If aero is still on then it ain't happening right for some reason. The redpill I link is not exactly the same as scooby's, not sure what the diff though

    Than you sCooBy !!!!!

    Now, almost everything is working, except the Genuine Center crash, but it's not that important since Windows is already genuine.


    I've read some people seems to be a little lost, understandable, it's easy but can get confusing seeing how many page an hour appear in here. If that may help anyone, here is what i did.

    1/ Clean 7955 install
    2/ h t t p://ultrawindows.nl/win8/ Unlocked Ribbon UI/Full DWM / Apps Explorer.
    Don't forget to run them as admin.
    3/ For some unknown reason, i coudn't enter the product key via Genuine Center, so did in in the elavated command prompt
    h t t p://w w w.mydigitallife.net/activate-windows-8-m2m3-build-7955-with-free-windows-7-beta-product-keys/

    Had to use phone activation since online activation seem broken, it's totally free and safe using skype (you don't even need a microphone).

    h t t p://w w w.mydigitallife.net/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone-activation/
    After that, windows was activated, and i just used sCooBy's files which were given by ReelFiles a few post earlier.

    mediafire.com/file/1z0zdhmeprx5uqn/Redpill.zip

    The easy way to install them is 1/ Install this : h t t p://w w w.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

    2/Go to /Windows/System32 Take ownership of slc.dll and systemcpl.dll , then for each one of them, go into properties, Security, Edit and allow Full Control to Administrators_ploc .

    Now, you can backup them both (i usually rename them .old.dll in order not to loose them).

    Finally, place the content (3 files) of Redpill.zip in /Windows/System32 .

    Finally restart windows, and i think everything that can be unlocked for now will be unlocked (did i forget something ? )

    pdf reader/metro UI/ windows phone 7 style boot screen / new task manager
