R2 SP1 WORKSTATION "RED SENSATION" - REVISED

aka "The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse Project"

My buddies Secr9tos and Fibonacci are busy working on R2ConvGUI 3 "The Application", so I decided to make this release to get myself acquainted with release customization.... :coo:

This is my first real modded release of Windows Server 2008 R2.

I must admit that it is lots of work and I am not sure the result is as good as what's produced on here from Neuro, Buster, IiTz ShAnE™ or any other member of this community.

All feedback is welcome. :ha:

I also would like to add that I only "put the release together", all credits go to the people who spent hours on making icons, wallpapers, themes,..... :dance:

I fixed explorer.exe version and changed logon screen to more colorful one.

Sexy Girls Theme .. if you want

I hv question:

- how do i set transparent taskbar



when i click windows color... it just jump to advance color like what you see in the above picture

while in windows 7 it goes to the Windows Color and Appearance like below picture

All depends what you are running it on, VM or real PC ?

Please check if your video driver is correctly installed if real PC.

If VMware please make sure you enable 3D Graphics Acceleration in the settings of the VM and install VMware tools.

Good afternoon. This assembly The supported 2-processor machines? I have 2 Xecon E5420 is worth at Supermicro MB + FBB ECC 16GB RAM, but it only put Win Server 2003.
Wndows 7 U put, but not loaded Server 2008 R2 does not attempt, an error Dual CPU configuration not supported. Now download R2 + SP1 and this assembly. In SafeMod not included. The problem in the BIOS setup or the OS?

That is odd.

If i understand well you are not able to install Server 2008 R2 on a mobo with dual CPU ?

Please check here :

There seems to be no limitations.
