Building your own machine and such you never hear it, but setting up many many many Dells in a school system has me hearing this music lots. I jokingly said I could compose it by the time I was done with the job. That said, it really is a catchy tune, gg M$

anyone who formats more than twice and complains that XP is buggy is obviously an idiot who doesn't know what they're doing

I completely forgot about that song! It didn't play last time I installed windows; I haven't heard it in years! Thanks for giving decent directions to it.

Wow... that was never a secret.
June 27th, 2006

Wow. So many people commented just to say that it's the music that plays when you install Windows. Amazing to think that they actually think the guy who made this didn't know that or something. 5 for having to put up with the idiots ;)

This is deffinitely not secret, but you would only hear it if you had onboard sound. So i understand your confusion.

Hmm. New to me, kinda got a Blast Corps kinda feel to it. Thank you for the location. It's on my iPod.

Ok, I didnt even know this music existed, and even after finding out it does exist, i cant see anything special about it. When you play sim city or the sims, music that are very similar to this are played. I'll give you a 4 because it appears it is a hard thing to search for this music.

"(generic I hear it when I set my computer up comment)" - Try doing an actual format instead of a quick restore from a prebuilt computer you f*ggles. You may here it with onboard audio, but any computer worth it's sh*t has a SOUND CARD that requires DRIVERS to WORK PROPERLY so you can HEAR SOUNDS. Since FORMATTING deletes EVERYTHING that means the AUDIO DEVICE DRIVERS are DELETED TOO DUMBASS.

Never heard this before, never reinstalled XP, had no speakers when I built my last XP box from scratch, neat. BTW Windows 95 came with a Weezer video and they just broke up.

Wow, this is insanely old, I even used the music in one of my YTMNDs made about a month ago, and why a preloader?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. When I installed XP for the first time, I heard those 5-10 seconds and knew I had to have the song.
September 13th, 2006

Well, they had to do something to calm the user down during the nerve-wracking install process. Well, at least until it bluescreens.
