So, as long as I made a backup of the original uxtheme.dll file, if the patch did make my system unstable, I could just re-install the original and everything would be fine?

Hello, As you may know, the Uxtheme.dll file blocks yu from using visual styles which arent signed by Microsoft. And hardly any of the visual styles on the net are signed. So I wanna patch the uxtheme.dll. But is patching the uxtheme.dll safe? Can it cause boot problems? Corrupt any data or...

I haven't tried the above. But I will. However something else has just come to me.... I haven't actually installed the drivers for this mouse. I just plugged it in and it worked so kept on using it. SO perhaps installing the drivers will help the problem maybe.

I'm having problems with the mouse! I can't drag or drop items. This includes explorer/ desktop items, tollbars in Adobe programmes, and it is really annoying me. I am tempted to do a complete re-install of Windows to fix it! I have XP Home SP3. I have installed many new programmes and...

Ok, but the problem is, I don't feel comfortable installing a new PSU. Seems kinda dangerous with such a high wattage/ voltage, etc. But I suppsoe I can get a guy in the computer shop to do so. What power supply brand and wattage would you reccommend?

MY VIDEO CARD IS CRAP! I have a ATi Radeon Xpress 200, it struggles with The Sims 2! Imagine how awful it would be for some more challenging games! So I've decided to get a new graphics card... I hav my eyes set on the nVidia 9600GT. But I need a better PSU, at least 350w apparently. So my...

It's a Packard Bell iMedia 753. And it's three years old (it had it's 3rd birthday on 16th June this year. Yes that's right, I'm sad enough to remember the date I bought it :D). BUT I did some searching. I looked through my folders and couldn't find a recovery tool or anything similar; all I...

I have Windows XP SP3. Oh, and it's the 32bit version! I uninstalled Ghost a whileback, so would the space it reserved have stayed on for almsot a whole year?! And Windows Disk Management claims it's empty, but I can't even access this partition, it's there, but unaccessable. And my IE is set to...

I bought a PC with an advertised 80GB drive. I have 2 known partitions on the drive (C and D) But for some reason, I didn't have that 80GB, I only have just under 67GB. I know that Windows actually reads drives as GiBibytes and then mistakingly shows the GiB size as GB. (Or something like that)...
