  • It is SP6a because it has IE6

  • @SuperMario32game it is SP6a because it has Service Pack 6a. The original SP6 (without letter "a") was quickly replaced by Msoft because of some bug, and actually all "SP6" are "SP6a".

    Installation of Internet Explorer 6 (or 4 or 5 or 5.5) is always optional on NT4, meaning: it is installed separately. None of them is bundled with any Service Pack for NT4.

  • that's easy. you just changed winnt.bmp/winnt256.bmp in C:\WINNT =)

  • @93axele you are close - but that's just the image. Adding the sound to be played together with the boot image was actually much more difficult than most ppl think (for details you'd have to ask DaiWood, the geek responsible for this mod).

  • WHY DID YOU DO WITH THE OTHER VIDEO?!

  • Dammit I Can't Watch Windows 95 like this

  • I can run Mac OS on an x64 PC :D

  • @JasonHaddadStudios use both, whats the problem

  • @Talkingpie100 Windows NT originally meant Network Terminal, I believe.

  • @TheWindowsChannel Microsoft said NT Stands for New Technology

  • @Talkingpie100 NT originally stood for N-10, a processor that Intel was working on. *cue star + swirling rainbow* :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Talkingpie100 Startup in original NT4 is different.

    What you see in this 2001 or 2002 video is my friend Daiwood's custom startup. He made the XP-looking startup logos  ("XP-alike") for all of the Windows OSes of that time: 95, 98, NT and 2000 (I am not sure about Windows ME, I have to ask next time ;) And actually this is one of the first "XP-alike for NT4", because I know his NT4 laptop had the startup with XP logo and sound (this vid still has original NT4's sound).

  • @Talkingpie100 Yes, M$ bought DOS and used it as the "heart" of Windows 95-98-ME (with "Windows" interface on top of old DOS).

    And Microsoft didn't make NT either.

    They were collaborating with IBM on their superior OS/2 operating system, and they used it as a "heart" of Windows "New Technology". Dig in the guts of first NT3 and you'll find plenty of "(c)IBM" traces all over it.

    M$oft didn't actually make any Windows OS (since all the Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and NT4 are NT, which = IBM's OS/2)

  • NT4 was not bad, but NT5.0 (Win2000) was best Windows so far. From NT5.1 (XP - onward) it's just prettier with each next release, but more and more buggy / less and less stable.

  • do you have an iso for service pack 6 i cant up date computer i cant even watch the video :(

  • @iansonic64a

    there:

    msfn.org/board/forum/35-window­s-nt420002003/

    dig thru old posts and find out how to make your own NT4 SP6 iso (and all other post-SP6 updates, if you want to). It is not that difficult.

  • Never saw one so badly done Windows and Windows NT Workstation ... Just look at the amount of service packs that were created for him ...

    Two are crap, Windows NT and Windows ME ....

  • @mariojunior1992 the amount of service packs doesnt determine whether an OS is bad. it rather shows how much demand there is for certain additions or fixes by end users. and there was a LOT of demand for NT4.0. the reason it had 6 service packs is the fact that many businesses used it until quite recent, and each service pack adds 24 months of support.

  • @mariojunior1992 Why don't you tell us everything wrong with NT4 that they had to fix? How long did you use it?

  • I hope you guys reslise its 2010 now right?

    

  • @TheSparkvideo

    I hope you realise it is some old video?

  • Win NT lol

  • Windows Server 2008 works much better than XP as a Desktop OS, just as NT4 workstation edn worked better as a Desktop OS than 95 / 98.... trouble is, that it didn't work on laptop computers which almost always have very strict driver requirements which are very different from 9x to NT. All NT4 & NT5 Drivers are similar, and I can run Win32 apps on DOS with the right memory extender. Win3.x IS just a GUI.

    I still do not believe this is NT4, and not 95.

    Google NT4 Visual Update for Vista look.

  • Laptops in 1989 were like 9kg!

  • hI i HAVE Widows nt AND I CAN'T INSTALL ANYTHING SO I CAN'T WATCH VIDEOS!!!! But my dad will let me use his.

  • Microsoft Windows Neanderthal Technology Workstation 4.0

  • How do u make that?

  • Microsoft Windows Northern Territory Workstation 4.0?

  • haha my firs pc was exactly the same.

    I still remember when it used to be the shit back then

  • Hold on... there IS NO BOOTSCREEN on Windows NT 4... it's just the blue text mode Kernel loader... the first graphical thing is the desktop background for the login prompt... how did you get it to show a Kernel Splash? Tutorial please. :D

  • @bobsobol I agree!!!

  • @h8macintosh I'm sure it can be hacked with the 2K / XP boot loaders (NTLDR) to have one... but this looks more like Windows 95 with a fake NT boot / shutdown splash applied. XD

  • Is this the OS on your computer, or is this Virtual PC?

  • AirlinePilotStuart :

    Please read the video description/info.

    It is still working (not running in any Virtual PC) - with current uptime of 156 days (!!) as of themoment I'm typing it.

    ! ! !

  • 12 years old laptop?

    OMG!

    8-)

  • how so?

    FYI: I'm using Windows 2003 R2 SP2 on my desktop and IMO it is best Windows yet

  • Do You Have To GO through Hard Ways to Add A User ( lusrmgr) Instead Of Using User Accounts Wizard?

    Do Other Users Have To Go to A Admin Account To Turn Off The Computer?

  • Mrcomputergeek1 :

    no & no

    What's with all the Title Case in your post?

  • You Know what I Was Looking at your channel and i see that you run a business involving audio/video Do You Use Win S 2003 for that?

  • ok, break it up, break it up!

  • Ur an ass. Its a Server based OS

  • So, operating system for servers isn't operating system? and you said there is no windows 2008 at all, not that it isn't operating system.

  • Windows NT3 = NT3.1, NT3.5

    Windows NT4 = NT4.0

    Windows 2000 = NT5.0

    Windows XP = NT5.1

    Windows XP64 = NT5.2

    Windows 2003 = NT5.2

    Windows Vista = NT6.0

    Windows 2008 = NT6.1

    Windows 7 = NT6.1

    Windows 8 = ? (either NT6.2 or NT7.0)

  • Indolence is never a valid excuse for stupid posts ;)

  • there is, windows server 2008

  • @Thegamer5150 You are wrong, XP is NT 5.1, Vista is 6.0 and 7 is 6.1.

  • Yes Furbolg, NT4 *did* play sound during boot and shutdown screens by default :-)

    WIndows 9x didn't, but there were ways to do it, as I gave you (and other "it is fake" naysayers) a hint where to look for solution in my reply to "Windows 95" video :-)

    Ignorance is a bliss, as "they" say ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • is it possible to make it vista like?

  • Not that much.

    You could use modified Vista icons, match sounds and wallpaper, and some colors/themes, but still NT4 wouldn't look much Vista-alike, only partially.

    Try NTVU (NT Visual Update) it is available on msfn board for long time, see pictures there and decide for yourself.

    But OTOH Vista-alike for Windows 2000 or XP is not much problem ;-)

  • If you download VTP. (Vista Transformation Pack)

  • MACS are the new IBM's... now everyone will conform to non conformity...... nerdssss

  • WINNT Forever! Screw Mac!

  • c'mon now, OS X is pretty good too.

    Maybe I should show you Mac-XP-alike? ;-)

  • you idiot mac sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • idiot

    can u make kwl vids on WIndows?

    nope

    and i admit that (WIN XP 4Ever)

    im gona make cross-palatform

  • Windows is completely capable of doing the same stuff Macs are capable of doing, but Macs are definitely more user friendly and uniform. As better versions of each come out, they are becoming more alike. And Macs are completely capable of getting viruses, the problem is that there's no need to make viruses for Macs because the entire business world uses Windows. If it didn't cost as much as a used car, Macs would be just as popular as Windows, so they would have the same problems as Windows.

  • well,its not the price

    it is the selling strategy tha billy used to sell them

    it was a devastating one,with many results for allies,less for enemyes

    and,Mac was first to come as an OS

    but windows was the 1st one to be sold very much

    and Windows is user friendly too

    the interface is very funny,and easy to modify

  • @DaiWood

    Mac is shit compared to Windows.

  • its just a startup and shutdown theme

  • Where can you find Windows NT 4.0 service Pack 6. All the links on Microsoft's site are dead ends.

  • You have to make everything look like XP, don't you?

  • Me? NO!

    All videos of Windozes I received from user "DaiWood" :)

  • well, yes and no.

    Back in 2001, when XP was novelty, many people wanted to "dress up" other windozes to look like XP (mainly Win98, the "mainstream" OS back then)

    "XP-izing" NT4 (there was more to it than just bootscreen) actually showed to some ppl that XP was still the same old IBM's OS/2 code in NT/2000/XP, each next just had fancier GUI (and so is Vista and Windows 7 too; Microsoft is unable to create any new OS, they only rehash the same old code + new GUIs with each new Windows)

  • Actually IBM and Microsoft works together on OS/2... you right NT 3.1 is based on OS/2 but every new major release of Windows (WinNT 4.0 kernel 4.0, Win2000 kernel 5.0 Windows Vista kernel 6.0) has a new kernel -not only new GUI!.

  • And BTW WinME is based on Win95, Win95 on WfW 3.11/DOS 6.xx, DOS is based on CP/M 86, CP/M 86 is based on original CP/M for 8080/Z80 processors, CP/M 80 is based on TOPS-10 (DEC PDP10) etc. etc. Also MacOS is based on System 1-7 -> Apple ProDOS -> Apple SOS -> Apple CP/M ... -that's absolutely NORMAL to base new OS on another famous/successful OS.

  • He is right.

    Think of it:

    Microsoft bought DOS from Seattle Computer Products.

    DOS+GUI became Windows 3/95/98/ME

    Microsoft worked with IBM on OS/2, which later became -> Windows NT.

    Entire NT line (NT4, 2000, XP, Vista) is based on first NT, they only have different GUIs.

    NT3 GUI was based on Win3.11, NT4 had GUI from Win95, NT5 - aka 2000 - had newer GUI still based 9x, while NT5.1 (aka XP) and NT6 (aka Vista) got their own GUIs.

    MS never had its own OS, they just add their own GUIs :)

  • He is plain wrong. You're plain wrong.

    There's PLENTY of non-GUI related and kernel related changes in the Windows OSes.

    Or in any OSes series of any company/group...

    Window 3 was not a GUI for DOS apps, but added Windows 16 bits graphic applications all over the place. Win16 application cannot run in DOS.

    Windows 95/98/ME added 32 bits and Win32 apps, services, and tools. Can't run that in DOS either. And Windows 9x/ME was a preemptive multitask OS. DOS was a "monotask" OS.

  • Windows 3 was a cooperative multitask OS.

    And the NT line had no proper plug & play implementation before NT 5.

    And there is x64 versions of Windows XP/2003/Vista. Coding a x64 version cannot be done only by changing the GUI code.

    And, for instance, every Win32 OS had a different driver model. For example, NT 4 drivers cannot work with NT 3.51, Win95, or Win. NT 5.

    Win. NT 3.1 was the first version of Windows to utilize 32-bit "flat" virtual memory addressing on 32-bit processors.

  • NT Really Does Have The Best Start Up And Log Off Sounds In The History Of Windows

  • Hey kiddo, FYI:

    NT *always* had log off option, and it is possible to add it to the Start menu if you enable it with TweakUI and you have installed shell update (aka Active Desktop - part of IE4/IE5/IE6).

    Ignorance is bliss as they say... :)

  • Make more videos about Windows NT workstation 4.0.

  • This is not my video, I don't use old computers ;)

    Check out user DaiWood and his videos (this video is from him), he has lots of old junk videos and he is like walking encyclopaedia of NT, 9x, Slackware linux, and all other old stuff ;)

  • WHAT????!!!!!

  • Oh cool, you installed the active desktop. It took me forever to figure out how to do that.

  • wow

  • How do you get the logo to show up because I just have the blue screen that shows the build and then dots to show boot progress. I WANT SPLASH SCREEN!!! Anyone know how?

  • not bad!

  • yeah, what ever you said.

  • haha!!

    an old version of windows to XP style!!

    hahahahahahaha!!!

  • LEts play some OPEN GL QUAKE!

  • sounds weird when you shut it down

  • is this the real boot screen?

  • no and thats the very fake 1 but real sound

  • this will be spam soon

  • so do u

  • By the way, what does it matter the boot screen? To me, the original one looks cool.

  • It doesn't matter.

    I used to make those when I was bored at work :-)

  • I just tricked my brother into thinking his crappy HP was booting Mac OS 9.2. He thinks Macs suck.

    He has a Hewlett Packard Pavilion 8250 desktop PC.

  • *sigh* If only he knew the joys of Macs. Most people who think they suck haven't even used one before. They make fun of it because it's different and they just can't see why they should stop using Windows.

  • Why the old 8250? Those compete with iMac G3's!

  • Cool.

  • will you ever make some movies about windowns xp?

  • could you do this with the regular boot screen?

  • this is "regular" boot screen...

  • no,you tweaked it.i was actually talking about the shutdown screen

  • How the hell is that the "Regular" boot screan???? that thing is from Xp which is

    4-6 years after of NT 4.0....

  • seriously, nt is unsupported by microsoft now. you should get xp...........:)

  • XP will stop being supported by Microsoft in July. Although Windows 1 was supported for 17 years.

  • XP is junk

    NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 all the way

  • win 2000 is cool

  • Hey! XP isn't crap, it's a really great system.

    But your right, 2000 is pwnage.

    To me, Windows 2000 is a cross of Windows 98 & Windows XP. :D

  • Windows 2000 is the best of both worlds, you could say!

  • I find it somewhat ironic you say that when XP was intended to be a cross between 200 and 98. xD

  • vistas junk really slow

    xp 2000 nt its all good :)

  • windows xp was the first os with the features of windows 3.1 and nt 3.51 in 1 OS.
