phoenix63,
If want to do some more testing, then try this one https://sourceforge.net/projects/reacto ... 8-CLT2018/ it is newer (0.4.8 and not 0.4.7) and will be much more stable, because it was created for Chemiz Linux Tag, to be handed out to people.

I tried the 0.4.7.2-livecd on this laptop, yesterday, that mrmajik45 has posted a linked to today, and it BSODed.

You may yet get some more feedback from THFabba, about your first issue yet.
Please keep the Windows classic 9x/2000 look and feel.

They may help you with a problem, so do have a look at them.

Do you want me to try your version as well as mrmajik45's one ? Or shall I just try yours instead ?
Thanks

I would try the one that I have linked to, because of the reasons that I gave. I am going to download it and give it a try.

Thanks :)

I have tried the 0.4.8 livecd on this laptop and it failed again, but it did not BSOD like the 0.4.7.2.

I booted the 0.4.7.2 into the desktop, then plugged in a usb mouse and it worked, this with a generic desktop computer. So it all seems to depend on the hardware, if it boots or does not.

I have never tried an hybridcd, but i think (but not sure) that you can install with it. I would try the bootcd.

OK, I tried the boot CD with this file : bootusb-ReactOS-0.4.8-RC0-vgal
Unfortunately, I get a black screen once the drivers are loaded and nothing else happens :(
Might as well try the hybrid CD : hybridcd-ReactOS-0.4.8-RC0-vgal.iso.7z

[edit] just tried the hybrid version, but useless : the iso just contains all the different live versions as well as the boot version ; testing the boot version on this CD gives me the same result as with the above boot CD. Too bad ! :?

I already tested a previous version of the live CD in VGA mode and it works. Now I'm only interested in having a boot CD.
