    How to use non-standard themes on Windows without extra junk

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    OK, Ive noticed TONS of you have those crappy stardock things, etc. Those waste RAM, and slow down the system... INSTEAD, just get:

    http://fishnet.no-ip.org:81/downloads/UXTheme%20Multi-Patcher%20(Neowin%20Edition)%202.5.1.exe

    Its only 460KB.

    Once you run it, it patches the theme-related file in Windows that is used to determine if its a Microsoft theme, or a non-Microsoft theme. This DOES cause a Windows File Protection error when you do this, but its only the one time.

    Once this is done, you can use any non-standard theme in Windows, without needing to waste tons of RAM with third party programs, its all done in Windows as if you were using a standard theme. :)

    Enjoy!

    Halo 2...IT SUCKS...

    Halo 2 was incredibly dissapointing.. only about 7 hours of gameplay, and the *WORST* ending EVER. It wouldnt have been THAT hard for them to make one last level where your on earth, but no, they decided to make a THIRD game out of that..

    Well, here comes another 2 years of "HALO III! HALO III!"

    Then they will extend the wait another 2 years and Ill laugh my ass off.

    Cox has a monthly bandwidth limit of like 30 gigs down and 7 gigs up... and like 2 a day... Thats what I have against them... Internet should always be unlimited if you pay for 'unlimited'. I like to use my whole 3.0 / 768K to its fullest with Verizon, and know that I wont get a letter saying I used 160 gigs of bandwidth and Im abusing the network.

    I never got the consept of brigde and ppoe or whatever it is. When i set my modem of bridge' date=' it just wouldnt work lol. I didnt know what i was doing. But its always good to have extra secutiry. And i get it with the 2200[/quote']

    Bridge mode basically makes the modem do the connecting, and the router do the rest (assigning IPs, routing packets, logging into the network, etc).

    Tech support said to keep old Westy (as I call it)... Since they never even sent me the thing to send the 2200 back, he said to just keep both, and if I get a letter from them saying I HAVE to send one back, call and say they can have the Versalink... And if they throw the charge on the phone bill he said to just call and they'll take that off right away so they dont lose customers.

    Although the Versalink is a good idea, they should really have tested it more before they put it out to the public... Threfore I am going witth the tried and old 2200 that I know works fine.

    This thing is fucking BULLSHIT. It keeps restarting itself every few fucking hours.

    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH VERIZON GIVING OUT BAD MODEMS... IM CALLING RIGHT NOW AND TELLING THEM THAT IM SENDING BACK THE VERSALINK AND KEEPING MY GOOD OLD WESTELL 2200!

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    So I wake up this morning and notice that Windows said that my network had stuff wrong with it, so I thought it was just a freak thing... Just now, IRC disconnects and all my IM services go down, then Windows says "A network cable is unplugged"... I run to my modem to see whats going on, the power light is red and its flashing DSL, and all the ethernet lights are off... then they turn on! WHAT THE FUCK! I will *NOT* use a modem that cant stay online for weeks on end like old westy.

    NOONE let Verizon screw them with this horrible Versalink! Before the Versalink, I could have my modem and router connected for MONTHS on end without problems... MONTHS, then I get the Versalink and it disconnects twice in less than 24 hours.

    Holy shit Im mad at Verizon... They REALLY think Im sending my OLD modem back? Theyre getting the Versalink back!

    I told them i heard that people in New York were getting the 3/768 for $29.99 which is what i pay now. I wonder what they will reply. If they do say they dont know what they are talking about, ill mention dslreports lol

    Thanks again, hopefully they will upgrade me and ill be getting my speeds soon.

    I didnt even know that Verizon *HAS* online support... I always have to call them at 1-800-567-6789

    Step #1 is sending them an email

    Step #2 is calling them

    Step #3 calling them again

    Step #4 keep calling until i get it :)

    Well, your definately in the area to get it... I mean, if Im all the way in south Jersey getting it, then why wouldnt you be able to.

    The first rep said something like "New Jersey isnt getting that for another two weeks" or something, so I called back a few hours later and the person knew EXACTLY what I was talking about after I mentioned dslreports.com

    I said something like "Over on dslreports.com alot of people keep saying theyre getting..." and they say "...3mbit DSL... you want the NY Metro plan" and set it up for me.
