Hello internet users,
My problem is that I installed a Windows XP CD on my machine but without me entering anything, it configured itself. When the installation finished, everywhere I could input values like the session name was replaced by "unicornis". What system is this?
Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6

Don't worry, I understand well why some use modified versions of XP; I’ve experienced it myself, not just with Unicornis! But honestly, none of them are worth a real XP; at least you know what you're installing. But hey, everyone does as they please. However, you might have a hard time finding help for this kind of OS here.
I swear there are plenty of people who have problems they wouldn't have if they used a legal, reliable OS. No, I'm not trying to convince you; I’m just saying everyone does what they want.
I didn't say mine was legal either; it’s just that it’s reliable :). Bye

The important thing is to keep your feet on the ground.
It's a pirated Windows that you have. You might be able to delete some traces of Unicornis, but you really have to search everywhere.
If the XP versions available in stores were "clean and healthy," there wouldn't be so many questions on "serious forums," I think.
You are right about one thing, modified versions should not be placed in everyone's hands.
Unicornis, for example, disables the Windows Security Center, it seems.
And while the Windows firewall is "essential" for the average user, the "experienced" user quickly turns it off and installs a more efficient product.
Warning messages are also disabled.
Once again, the average user may need them, while the seasoned user quickly gets fed up with them.
not to mention the additional software included
I no longer have the list of modifications by Unicornis in mind; I will check if any software has been installed... It seems to me there aren't any, just some software missing.
not to mention the so-called patches that allow activation, (three quarters of them are infected)
Indeed, that happens.
It's a risk to take, and it's a risk that every internet user takes every day, downloading this or that .zip...
Some trusted, serious sites are not exempt from viruses either.
Who can you trust?
aside from the legal aspect
Here again, the real question is "who can you trust?".
There was quite a stir some time ago regarding pre-installed Windows versions coming from pirated copies.
There are probably quite a few people who think they are using a completely legal version of Windows while actually walking around with a pirated copy.
Well there, obviously, there’s no doubt...
But I believe that from the moment I use this version to replace a legal version that crashed all over the place, it is paid for :)
so rather than making a kind of advertisement for these systems, it is much smarter to explain to people what they really have on their PC in order to try to convince them to use a clean and healthy system from the start
As a general rule, we "advertise" a product we are satisfied with.
I am not ashamed to say that I am fully satisfied with this modified version.
Perhaps it is infected.
Maybe it's not reliable at all.
But since it hasn't bothered me one bit for several years, I don't see why I would say it’s garbage.
Sure, it’s commendable of you to want to explain things to internet users and give your opinion.
For my part, I am just doing the same thing.
From my point of view.
What you call "nonsense," I call "4 years of use."

it's good that you took the time to go through each of my words and commas one by one, except that if you really knew the subject well, you would certainly know that the kind of Windows XP that circulates is one of the worst crap out there. but hey, since it's your choice and it fully satisfies you, I admit there's nothing to say.
oh, but still. it's true that it's to my credit (as you say) to try to warn people that they are taking big risks using those Windows (I'm here to help above all), but on your side, it's not at all to your credit to advertise what you do, I would call that more of an attitude that's firstly illegal, but most of all irresponsible. because concerning the infected patches, the disabled services, and other nearly invisible tweaks for the average user that you mention, you seem aware and informed about everything, yet nothing stops you from your statements. "you are pathetic on this one"
I meant to say basically, do what you want! but keep it to yourself. (it will be to your advantage, believe me...)
so now I know your position and determination better, I won't have anything else to add. good evening...
Mou.

Hello everyone,
I want to make it clear right away that I own a LEGAL version of Windows XP Pro SP2.
I tried a Windows Unicornis for two reasons:
- Its installation does not require any activation (crack or Corporate, I'm not sure). This argument
has proven to be less and less valid because, whether its detractors like it or not, Windows XP SP2
is one of the most reliable and stable OS.
- I wanted to learn, for example, how to customize the installation of XP with nLite,
particularly with the famous UNATTEND.TXT. A kind of tutorial, really. Here, the fact that this version
does not need to be activated allowed me to do several tests (thus several installations).
I can affirm that this Windows Unicornis is perfectly stable, and to my knowledge, no
software has been added or removed. But I am speaking for the version I tested, not for the subsequent
ones that I do not know.
Saying that a pirated OS is necessarily unstable or infected is false... but the risk is high!
Saying that you take fewer risks with a legal version is true... as long as you don't mess with the
Registry!
Regarding the legal aspect, do I need to specify that piracy is illegal, and that those who find XP too
expensive can turn to Linux?

Salut, j'ai installé XP Unicornis sur des PC de bureau sans aucun problème, et récemment je l'ai installé sur un PC portable et je n'ai plus aucun son depuis ? Aidez-moi, faut-il des pilotes ? Une simple option ?...??????????
yes xolnight probably a driver for your sound card to reinstall.

Attention to users of the XP version by Unicornis (I’m not sure if there are multiple versions, but this thought applies to mine) it seems that the Windows Update (required during the installation of the new Live Messenger) causes the PC to crash (freezes at every boot) and I haven’t found any other solution than to format.
If there are other versions of XP by Unicornis (or a way to prevent the update from crashing everything) I’m interested :)

A way for the update not to mess everything up???
Of course, the safest way is to use a real Windows : )
The one you're using, I know it because I've tested it before and honestly, it’s worth nothing at all and on top of that, it's packed with adware and all sorts of crappy software (and that's ONLY what I managed to see)

You must have been unlucky :)
I've been using this version for almost 3 years now (if not more) and never had a single issue, quite the opposite (until this update :x), I installed it because the legal Home XP version included with my purchase crashed quite often.
As for malware and other little critters, 2 different antiviruses and most anti-spy, mal and ad programs find nothing ^^
There may be several versions of Win XP Unicornis, or the real one may have been modified by some nasty people :x

Hi,
I've been using Unicornis for almost 4 years now, and I've never seen such a stable XP. No crashes, and I even feel like it's keeping viruses at bay because I've rarely discovered any.
Your problem is definitely due to the fact that your burning didn't go well; yes, it's common for data to go missing when burning a CD with an operating system. I wouldn't change for anything in the world, even if Bill Gates offered me his personal version of Vista.
RATING 20/20

As for keeping viruses away, I haven't had an antivirus or any viruses since I started using Unicornis.....
As you said, it's probably just luck, or I just didn't have any luck with the legal version and my antivirus ????!!

Same here, no antivirus since Unicornis :$
An online scan every now and then, as well as sending suspicious files to online scanning sites, and so far not much to report...
I haven't really had any major virus scares in 4 years, unlike my old family XP.
And for my first post here, I said something foolish (shame on me).
The crash during the update needed for MSN version 2008 has nothing to do with Unicornis; in fact, I later tried to install several versions of XP (Home, Professional, without SPs, with SPs...) and the same problem persisted.
Hardware incompatibility "bad luck"?
Anyway, I've been on Linux for over a year now, and I don't regret it at all ;)

and that it wards off viruses
Find me the place where I might have said that this version of XP warded off viruses, so I can also have a laugh.
_
the biggest nonsense is to say that a pirated, hacked Windows... is more stable than an original Windows
Simple observations, my friend, simple observations.
As for the hacking, you can read the log of changes.
It’s actually about disabling certain options and configuring others (for the most part) directly during the installation of Windows => time-saving.
I would like to point out, by the way, the well-known stability of “original” versions of Windows :)
I don't think this modified version is "more stable," but having used it without issue for a few years, I think I'm well placed to say it’s not any less stable.
The advantage of this version, compared to a non-hacked version, is the useless applications that don’t install during formatting, the pre-settings...
In short, I'm quite happy with it, so the unflattering remarks from a poster who has certainly never touched it with a mouse... :)

moui funny the nickname. -> anyway.
for the one who made the comment about viruses, I wasn't addressing you, but Zeee who says:
I even feel like he scares away viruses because I've very rarely discovered any. -> anyway, trollish, and nothing more.
just like your explanations about so-called settings and modifications that make the system at least as reliable...
you can take my comments as unkind, that doesn't bother me.

From the moment you quote me, yes, I take that personally.
so-called adjustments and changes that make the system at least as reliable
The adjustments and changes are not "so-called", otherwise what’s the point of this version? x)
They do not make "the system at least as reliable", but have no impact whatsoever on the system's reliability.
Am I wrong to think that you have never had this XP modification in your hands?

The problem is not really whether there are good or bad modifications; the problem is that some of them (as I have seen on a lot of these messed-up Windows) only make the system more vulnerable, all for the sake of system lightweightness. And what do you say to people who download this kind of Windows, install it, and have no idea what they've got on their hands? Not to mention the so-called patches that allow activation (three-quarters of them are infected), not to mention the additional software included, which is also cracked with who knows what... and I could go on. All of that is the most visible part.
Why do you think, aside from the legal aspect, there is no help offered on "serious" forums regarding these Windows? The principle is the same if you take your car to the garage and it has already been repaired by a Sunday mechanic; no one will want to touch it, that's clear.
So rather than promoting these systems, it’s much smarter to explain to people what they really have on their PCs in an attempt to convince them to use a clean and healthy system from the start. Rather than seeing them come back to the forums repeatedly for problems they might not have had if they had a real Windows. Which, by the way, is fully customizable, adjustable, and at least you know what you have on your PC.
And yes, you’re wrong to say that I don’t know what I’m talking about; I’ve tried pretty much everything available online at one point (Titanium, Unicornis, Coccinelle, XP by Machin & Co.), and I could go on; my verdict was the same every time. It’s crap.
Otherwise, I’m not specifically addressing you, but I just intervened to try to counter the kind of nonsense I’ve read here. Even if for many it’s just hot air, I can’t help it.

I think I know my subject well enough, thank you for your concern hu²
first of all illegal
Throw the first stone at me too :)
but especially irresponsible
There's an old saying that goes: "Learn to think for yourself, or others will do it for you"
I give my point of view, backed by proven facts.
It's up to people what they want to make of it.
Or to have fun saying I'm irresponsible, if they have time to waste :x
I meant to say basically
There are many things you "wanted" to say since the beginning of this discussion :)
but keep it to yourself. (it will be to your advantage believe me ... )
Just like your comments.

Hello
I read with great interest your various messages on this Windows forum about the hacked version of "unicornis." I myself have become a victim; I bought a computer from a private seller for €700, based on a fraudulent invoice of €1500. The hardware is completely hacked—operating system, software, etc.—and I cannot download any programs or update anything. I have damning evidence, and I have written to the fraud department and the judge, but the justice system does not seem interested in this kind of issue. Our wonderful French justice is forcing me to surf on a hacked PC. What should I do? I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thank you.

Hi Snooppy.
In your case, there aren't many solutions.
Either you contact the individual who sold you this PC to ask for a refund for the equivalent of a Windows.
(if it was clearly agreed upon that the PC would be provided with a Windows and a license *).
This will allow you to buy a real "legal" Windows.
Otherwise, you're going to have to shell out a few more bucks.
(You can also file a complaint, but only if it was clearly stated at the time of sale that the PC would come with a legal Windows license *)
