Have you changed your computer theme to something a little (by a little I mean alot) more outstanding then the standard blue?(Windows XP) When I say themes I mean boot screen, logon screen, visual styles, ect. I have a night vision theme with haruhi as my logon screen and a picture of yuki hacking me for my boot screen. For those few people who are computer illiterate, or simply dont know how to change the above and want to, google and download the program "Style XP." It comes with some starter skins, and you can find some more at themexp.org.
I really like simple things, I tried once using it, my computer starts getting heavy, I think my VGA card isn't strong enough. It's the inside that counts for me.
Yes I changed my theme.
I really disliked the XP theme so I changed it to one of the old ones, then a few months later I edited my uxtheme.dll so now I have a cool custom msstyle.
