Credits - ------------------------- # 1. Getting Started Hello! If you're reading this, welcome to the Windows XP Gui Test manual! While this manual may no longer be useful due to the fact the game has now been taken down, I hope this can find some use for you. NOTE: The following text below expects you to have already re-uploaded the game to your Roblox account, or you are using the simulator in Roblox Studio. To start Windows XP Gui Test, simply launch the place from your Roblox app, the Roblox website, or press Play in Roblox Studio. Once you do that, you will be greeted by the boot screen. The game will wait for assets to finish pre-loading, and then show a loading bar. ------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | ______ | | /__/__/ | | MS(R) /__/__/TM | | Windows XP | | Professional | | ____________ | | |__OOO_______| | | | | Copyright (c) | | Microsoft Corp.
