    I don't understand, these are the files I've just downloaded, I downloaded, extracted to C:\Users\[User]\Downloads\UxTheme Patcher Pack and then got confused as to what to do next.

    oh; i thought you have run the utility to unpatch your system. I'll see and prepare the easiest possible way for yo to implement that unpatching process tomorrow. I have to get some other things done which are not on PC ;)

    That would be brilliant! Thanks for all your help! I'm sorry for my incompetence, I just get 3 files with random names and I know they have to replace another file, but where is a complete wonder to me.

    You can download the patcher from this url.

    The download contains an execution file which either patches or uninstall the patch.

    By the way, did servicing your pc helped in anyway?

    "Operating System: Windows XP/2003 "

    Like I said earlier, I'm on that horrible thing called Vista.

    Oh ... well check this one out and i hope this one will work.

    This is for Service pack 1, shall I try it anyway? It also just seems to replace files, rather than actually remove, I have none to re-replace them with, if you get me.

    Seems alright to me i guess. By the way if you have any important data on your system make a backup copy on DVD or any other media such as external HDD if you can
  10. Moospammer Newcomer, in training Posts: 73

    Nothing important, it's all just music and pictures and programs.

    Well, I've unpatched it! Succesfully I am 90% certain. It crashed shortly before I patched it so if it does it again... OH, How do I reach the page which tells me my core temp and other info? In setup do you press delete or was that just in 98 etc?

    You may look at PC Wizard 2010 at CPUID its a very hefty utility to check hardware specs as well it also tells you temperatures :)

    It will give you something like this.

    Ah ok, I'll check that out now. I just have a sneaking suspicion. Can't spell n_n
  14. Moospammer Newcomer, in training Posts: 73

    Ah, well thats shot down my thoughts. Weird though, the Processor temp is 20 but both my cores are higher than that at 34 and 39 respectivley.
  15. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,749   +29

    Thats not bad at all.
  16. Moospammer Newcomer, in training Posts: 73

    Well, as far as I can see now, There is no logical reason for my crashing software wise.
  17. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,749   +29

    Probably, lets see what happens. However, just to check stability of your RAM you can try to test it with Memtest86+.
  18. Moospammer Newcomer, in training Posts: 73

    Holy *ohdear*, I just ran that PC test while playing on WoW and my cores temp has gone up to 56 degrees.
  19. Moospammer Newcomer, in training Posts: 73

    And the memtest decided it doesn't want to run. It opened a cmd window and then closed, I can't delete the program now 'cause it's in use.
  20. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,749   +29

    You can terminate it through Task Manager. Its more appropriate if you download from here; you'll need to give it ample time as it will need that to run 8 passes.

    Here is the guide to run memtest; and N3051M has made it pretty easy to follow it as well :)
