Couple of questions

These are mainly questions to James: (I would have PM'ed you, but it's not urgent):

1) Do you use a style program (like WindowBlinds or StyleXP), if not, how do you change your GUI?

2) Where did you get that excellent 'MSFT Spirit' or 'Passion' theme? If I may ask.

I used a UXTHEME.dll patcher. Although StyleXP is pretty good if you want an application.

Most of my themes I get from www.deviantart.com.

Which UXTHEME.dll patcher? I have found loads but they all say I have an NT CD in my drive?

I've found a guide to do it manually. The thing is - I don't have the service packs installed.

I do have a CD, but the computer is fine as it is - it's a HP computer, which usually I need to download special things with. Will the CD I got from Microsoft work without a hitch?

Sorry for the double post, but should I just go with Style XP? It'd be a lot easier :p.

I don't plan on upgrading.

If you won't update I would stick with a program that will allow you to install (i.e. StyleXP)

I am going to reformat and put SP2 on before I do anything else.

Good idea. You should follow our Guide on integrating SP2 into your XP CD.
