kind of not really relating to the thread but jw: where di u get your theme from? did u get it from www.xpthemes.com and if u did, will it decrease performance if i were to download a theme?
btw, once you download stylexp, the first thing you get when you open the program are these options, and one of them says something like "don't use any windows resources" and you just select that (once you have it, you can pm me if u don't know what to do) if you select that option, it won't use up any resources (and even if it does, you got enough ram so that it wouldn't matter)
