Installed windows SP3 on my pc
I have installed windows XP service pack 3 final version on my pc!
[I downloaded it last day]
[link]
Previously, i was using a beta release of service pack 3 for windows XP.and i am a person who cannot live without customizing my OS. [More precisely, i hate the default luna theme for windows XP] .
As we know, for windows XP to be able to use third party visual styles, we need to patch the 'uxtheme.dll' file.
Uxtheme patchers would be working fine with windows XP service pack 2. Infact, they also work well along with SP3 as well.But the point to be noted is that if you are installing service pack 3 and if you use themes for xp like me, remove all those theming enhancements before carrying out the installation of the service pack!
I am telling this as I remembered one of the stupid things which i did last month.I installed windows XP service pack3 beta on top of bricopacks, a theming shell.
Nothing disastrous happened, but the uxtheme.dll made multiple copies in the system folder and had a conflict with photoshop pattern files with PAT extension. [details]
So, that is it!
i have put sp3 and has installed bricopacks on top of it.
I've tried most of the so called ''transformation packs'' available on the internet..I have noticed that 'vista transformation pack' brings about a lot of mess and causes a lot of visual corruption!.
I don't like it at all. Flyakite, the mac transformation pack is better than VTP, but the problem is that its sounds are too much annoying and it has some less significant errors..whether important or less important, an error is an ERROR!
But, i completely love the way bricopacks handle the system.It does not completely convert your XP into vista, but that brings a kind of freshness to the desktop! ..very neat indeed!
So here is a shot ...
Instead of blindly saying ''transformation packs mean mess'' , i would suggest to give it a try..i am telling from my own personal experience.!
I would be probably using that until i get on vista [not in near future, by the way]
well, again, folks, i am not a tech blogger... :P
..it is my experience that i indite here. :)

Bro can u tell me how to keep a pic in starting of the blog?
sure,
that is easy..
first, go to your dashboard, then click on 'layout'
Then on the top, you can see an element called 'header'.
click on the 'edit' button near it.
then, you'll get a screen, where you have the option of uploading an image! : )
