[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Thanks, Liam. I think I managed to kill it by switching off "Themes" as a service yesterday, it hasn't acted up on me yet. I do like the XP-silver theme over the fingerpaint one and had it for a year, but as I have W2K at work I thought I'd try "Classic" at home too as I was reinstalling XP (August 15th, yay) and a superstitious part of me has since then believed that I save a teensy amount of RAM and cpu powar by not having a theme going. I also shut off menu-fading and shadows as well, even though I have a 3GHz processor and I could have dancing figs on my desktop for all it cared. The last six months have seen me cutting back greatly on system tools abuse as well, although I still get the newsletter from defraggers anonymous. I remember when I was young you had to care for your drive and defrag it once a month and do a scandisk too if the system felt ditzy. Nowadays the system seems to take care of itself mostly, better file dispersion management or whatyoucallit. *sigh* [/QB][/QUOTE]
