![The Windows XP Tour Music [Original]](/img/n.gif)
That music that no one heard because the Sound Driver wasn't installed
Except for OEM preinstallations and the odd compatible soundcard. For instance, my Dell Dimension 4100 has some sort of SoundBlaster PCI card, and I heard this music on it after a clean XP installation.
my first XP computer did as it had an oem soundcard that worked during installation.
i heard it on my first boot
@@VectraQS Same with my Compaq Desk Pro about 5 years ago, except my sound is integrated.
When I upgraded my old laptop from Me to XP, it played the music.
"Finally got those sound chips working" -Dad, 2002
Why am I suddenly feeling stuff?
Damn, this one hit hard
Really hard
Sounds something like joels dad would say...
I miss my dad
Windows XP really made me feel like my computer "suddenly spring to life" immediately once I got past the basic text install prompts. It felt like I opened a portal to the future.
Now, installing Windows feels cold and slightly ominous. An accurate reflection of how the company has changed.
couldn't have said it better myself
ever seen 11? probably not
"how the company has changed"
We're talking about microsoft right?
Because of graphic style
no thats just how life is now.
the Wii was better than the switch
TV commcials were better in the 2000s than now
WindowsXP/Windows7 was better then windows 10/11
and that's just technology. lets just say back then was a better time
the person who made this song is named
"stan lepard"
the song was named "velkommen"
your welcome.
You're velkommen

This sounds like it could be the end credits of life.
yeeees =) you are absolutely right =)
wow i completely agree.
Imagine this playing before you go to heaven or hell, with the names of the most important people in your life scrolling down.
@@SonicPower Yes, I thought about to do a end credit movie that can play during my funeral, with a highlight reel with my most important moment together with a text scroll, to thank all my friends, family members etc =) 😊👍
@@markusisaksson6023 That is a genius idea holy shit I never thought I'd see that at 3 am on a nostalgia trip
I don't think my computer even had working speakers when I installed xp
I only found out about this after messing around in a virtual machine lol
When I installed xp my speakers were off and then I turned it on and that’s when I heard this
Ayyyy it’s dolan
Laptops were pretty hit and miss with installations
Ayyy!
Story time: as a ~13-14 year old, I accidentally stumbled upon this song among the install files on my family PC, fell in love with it, and burned it to a CD as many times as it would fit, so I could fall asleep to it on a loop. (My Karaoke machine which was my CD player at the time did not have a working "repeat all" feature.) I fell asleep to this every single night for eons. I still have the disk somewhere.
this song is enough to make a grown man cry
i remember getting scared abt the flowerbox screensaver as a little kid
I use this music as my alarm in the morning, have for eons.
This is so nostalgic. Windows 98 was on my first family computer but when we got it upgraded to XP, it felt like a jump into what the future would bring. Such a brilliant OS

Why do I have have nostalgia for memories that don't exist
yes same
Same here, bro
because your sound card wasn't working perfectly
Personally, I think the reason to why that can happen is because of how beautifully crafted some songs can be. And this is one of them
music theory stuff, probably
I grew up with Windows 7 and only used to have XP when I was so young that I hardly remember it. Even though I've never heard this before, it's still nostalgic.

I'm putting this music on as I am currently installing Windows 11 on my PC. Windows needs to bring back the installation music.
The problem is that the sound drivers are mostly not loaded during installation. You can only hear this on special occasions.
@@bedrocklolgame on some hardware at the time, yes, but PC after 2002 or newer will ships with different audio chips or different sound cards that winXP does not have by default. My PC from 2012 did play this music because i have integrated the drivers into the ISO using NLite.
*Windows 8 and 10 installation: awkward silence with boring blue background*

Then you have to proceed and enter fixmbr in the CMD.

10 years ago today, Windows XP began its journey to the computing graveyard. The OS itself may have just been thousands of codelines wrapped into a neat package, but the memories it helped provide for countless people worldwide are what make it special.

Wow
Not only was this music so incredible, it also served as a reminder that your sound drivers were indeed working.
Windows XP will NEVER die! I use it and enjoy it in a virtual machine every day. It is the most iconic OS Microsoft has ever released.
XP was so popular back in the day (and rightfully so), that Microsoft had to support it for literally 12.5 years (or 17.5 years for ESU), which is a significantly longer lifespan than any other OS ever released.
XP was the sole version of Windows to include ONLY improvements compared to its predecessors, in every single aspect -- stability, security, performance, appearance, interface, features, customizabilty, and more. Unlike any other version of Windows, XP did not remove any useful features and gave you complete and total freedom to customize the look and feel of your PC without having to rely on some hacks or third-party tools.
Not to mention its unique and iconic default desktop background, which is by far the most calming and beautiful among all Windows versions. It actually became the most recognizable picture in the world, thanks to XP's huge popularity and people's understandable refusal to upgrade for so many years.
For these reasons (and many more), XP will always have a special place in the hearts of so many people. Even today, 22.5 years after release and a full DECADE after support ended, XP is still used on approximately 9 million PCs around the world. It is insane, but not really surprising given how perfect this OS is!
My school computers still use it, and I've been convincing them to upgrade to Windows 7 since it first came out. Now that I think about it, it's still a great operating system and maybe they shouldn't be forced to upgrade it because some dumb 15-year-old told them so.
Lots of computers were designed for XP and just couldn't run well on Vista or later. Also VMs.
Stan LePard, the creator of the installation music, has sadly passed away. RIP legend ❤️
[*]
🙏😔
r.i.p.
May he rest in peace
RIP to the legend who created this masterpiece
*”It sounds so heavenly”*
Best music for the best os
I mean, XP was a godly operating system, so yeah
Thats how lord of computer sings
it sure is a xp
Flash's backs
This is incredibly nostalgic, yet I never heard it back in the day. It just has nostalgia smothered all over it.
Probably windows could not recognize your sound card after installation or you were too quick to start using Windows XP. I remember waiting just for this music to play to the end before finalizing to start using Windows XP. One day I searched deep into windows directories and found this music file. I still have it with me now and sometimes play it. It's very nice track
True, I remember I heard this when I watched a Majoras Mask 3D Fan Trailer from long time ago.

Still a really beautiful music, even after a decade since Windows XP’s end of support, it will still never be forgotten because of beautiful sounds, memes and most importantly, this beautiful musical masterpiece. 💖
I first found this song on my laptop when I did a full system media scan on Windows Media Player. Back in 2006 or so. Fell in love with it instantly.
Same in my dualboot laptop
I remember this music. Now, it reminds me more of hold music... "Your computer is very important to us! Please stay on the line and the installation will finish shortly..."
You're thinking of opus number 1, the cisco callcenter default hold music.
If more hold music was like this, I'd be making a lot more phone calls
This song just has an indescribable 2000's feel to it. Every time I listen to it I'm instantly transported to my childhood

Damn, says something about the collective minds of many from a slightly happier past. Their vision of the future was different.
Theirs, knowing that technology can only get better and better.
Ours, knowing that Moore's law is ending and the only next advancement we could really significantly make is space exploration into other systems, being way farther then our lifetime. In fact, to get there (assuming sub-light travel) people will be born and will die on that ship.
Sometimes I wish I was born in the 90's for this reason. Because it was a time when RTX 3080 kind-of developments were basically monthly.
give me of today"s future music
man I wanna go back so badly.
Profound words
This is such a good song My childhood was spent with XP, I remember that when I was establishing the first XP, the whole family was very excited, hey, the years have gone by…
Just heard this music while installing Windows XP on VirtualBox, so happy I finally got a friggin' virtual machine to work as well and I was delighted to hear this during the install.
3:49 Imagine being the people who sung at this part, you're wondering what you're singing for and the person just tells you "Windows XP installation music"

When I was a kid I used to fix up my friends and family's PCs and this would always play in the background when I was installing XP.

@@user-xg8yy7yl1d Considering the crap they're doing with the forced updates and what not, maybe not? Microsoft seems to have gotten it into their heads that they know better than you do what you want installed on your computer.
@@YukonHexsun Microsoft will only now force security updates and monthly quality updates
@@techosarusrex "Quality updates" is concerningly vague. Frankly I don't care what kind of updates it is, don't force updates. If I want an insecure OS that's what I'll use, I just installed Windows XP on a VM to play some older games I have, and at least I have that freedom. I worry about the day when I can no longer do that with the future's equivalent. Microsoft has said they're not going to make a new OS for a while. Imagine if next there's an update that changes something so significant, that older programs may struggle to run, even though they're written for that same OS. It'd be like the OS changes from before, but more subtle. Now it'll forcibly update me to the new version that has issues with older stuff, and I might not be able to run those things anymore.
I know that sounds like a scenario that Microsoft wouldn't cause, but I don't want to put my trust in someone else to not be incompetent. Just let me have control over my own computer, and if they don't screw things up, I'll happily update. This new way of doing things is just weird, and I'm not even some old fart who's stuck in some way he's been doing things for years.
Why do i feel nostalgia yet i never even heard this before
As much as I hate dealing with outdated systems at work, I still have a soft spot for Windows XP. This song is so eerie and optimistic. Same feel as walking through an abandoned world fair.

I just learnt a lesson for the 100th time: never be sarcastic on the Internet.
Not even preceding an over-the-top hateful comment with "I'll do the job."
My dad has worked at Microsoft since 1994, and ever since I was born he's occasionally taken me into the MSFT buildings on the Redmond campus to take me exploring. I remember going around the offices, watching the same people that made Windows XP play foosball with my dad or playing Halo CE in after work parties. I didn't know it at the time, but I was there to witness a part of the Personal Computer Revolution, and I count myself lucky to have been a witness of it.
This song is a nice reminder of those times I spent in Redmond, and it also reminds me to work hard in school so that I can be a part of the next revolution of my time.
2023 Update:
For anyone reading this today, I was recently hired at Microsoft to be a software engineer at their Redmond campus. It's been fun being able to explore all the old buildings with my own badge now!
Austin Baccus lucky :0
That's a nice memory.
you sound like a fucking tool.
Charles Larson wowza dude. you need to calm your hecksicles.

Legendary Music... Of a time (not) so long ago...
Microsoft Windows XP...
Forever in my heart as one of the best installation music's of all time :)
2023 and I still listen to it, when I installed in back during 2001, these stuff were full of glamour. Technically everything is so advanced now, I wish I could revert back to the time, but now I realize I’m getting older.
I heard this once! I was the lucky boy
But never heard on my friends computers when i was installing.
Ayy, it's the fellow Bowser lover! How 'ya doin', mate?
Yeah back then manufacturers could completely take over the OOBE
Now MS streamlined it across all OEMs so most OOBEs are pretty much the same
Too bad Windows 10 doesn't have OOBE music tho
looks your friends audio driver wasn't installed (because you know it was setup)
They had no drivers
Usually if you heard this it was because you bought a brand new computer and it had the correct drivers installed. If you heard this after installing from 98 or something else, you were lucky.
this is 7 hours too short
This is 420 hours too short
