[quote]IceIsles, I'm intrigued. You wanted to use Windowblinds so you used the uxtheme patch How did you do that? [/quote] For some reason, Windows wouldn't let me select a "modified theme" when I installed WB6. Subsequently, although WB6 was installed, everything was permanently stuck in "Classic" mode. I honestly don't know mu
[quote] It is not recommended because you are both altering a system file and breaking the EULA. Altering system files can lead to unpredictable results. If you want to do it, fine, just don't recommend it to anyone else. [/quote] I gotcha. With me, it was a matter of necessity. I wanted to use WB6, and this was the only way to go about it.

Hey all - I've been using WB6 for about 24 hours, and while I love the program, I've noticed it has a tendency to crash my Internet connection. This happens once the computer has been on a few hours, and I can't figure out why.

Do you have any idea what might be going on?
