TimPawlak Posted March 8, 2006 CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 it doesn't slow down my pc at all... if you can't get it to work.. download a program called Tune-up Utilities 2k6, install it and go to the *theme* page... those work great! -Tim Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11849-how-much-slower-is-your-pc-when-you-use-downloaded-themes/#findComment-124689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsnet2k8 Posted March 9, 2006 CID Share Posted March 9, 2006 i used the VISTA INSPIRAT download for a few months to give my computer the Vista look and it looks great but i did notice a few problems such as dvd playback on power dvd was bad' for some reason it would prevent power dvd to display the video and just gave me a dark screen with sound' plus it did slow down my computer a bit at start up......
