XP Easter Egg

[Pugster]

Hi,

I have tried to get the Win2000 Easter egg (Spyhunter game) but failed (something to do with the service pack).

Has anyone got any info on the XP one?

J-Walk has the list...

XP doesn't seem to have one.

I tried this out as well on 2002 SP3, and it didn't work for me either. J-walk's site states to open the html file with Explorer 5, and I'm using Explorer 6, don't know if that makes a difference though.

I'm assuming that you're using Excel 2000 as well. Have you got DirectX installed on you PC? You may not have this installed if your PC is used for work only.

Pugster, do they still use that slogan for C*mb*rn*uld?

Mark,

I'm actually using Excel 2002, SP3. Or are you referring to OS. My OS is Win 2000, and you are most likely correct about the DX drivers. Our IT dept would mostly likely frown upon us playing network Half-life, although I haven't tried yet. I will have to check it out.

Thanks

Nah, it's not DirectX that's your problem, it's even more obvious than that.

Excel 2002 (aka Excel XP) apparently has no Easter Eggs.

I thought that you were referring to your OS when you said 2002 SP3, but then again I'm mentally retarded.

Well not being one to judge metal stability, life is like a box o chocolates, I won't comment on that. The only problem is that J-Walk's site shows an easter egg specifically for Excel 2002, so either your wrong, or he's wrong. Or am I wrong, I'm sooo confused.....

Confused or blind. It's at the top of the page, man

Excel 2002 (Excel 10)
The word on the street is that Excel 2002 does not contain an easter egg. Apparently, Microsoft has received complaints about the waste of resources and file bloat.

Van Pookie,

The piece about the microsoft web compents easter egg is in the excel 2002 section and uses excel in order to create the web compent. Wouldn't you think that it's from Excel 2002???? If it was from a different version, it would be in that version section!!! So there, I'm not blind, you are.

Edit: Of course it also mentions Excel 2000, not 2002. OK, so I'm blind. Where's the big seperator line and title that says Excel 2000!!! It's in the wrong section.
