I downloaded a theme and applied it and it changed the entire look of my desktop. Everything.

Now I applied another theme and nothing happened. Nothing changed.

This thing sucks.

I have run 'sfc /scannow' but even that thing didn't helped me.

Can someone here help me?

Much appreciated

Insert your Windows CD, and then trying running sfc /scannow

or if you really want to, and don't own an OEM CD, insert your Windows CD and choose 'Repair Install'

sfc /scannow must be executed using an elevated command prompt. Search for "cmd.exe" right click it, and choose "Run as Administrator" (Vista and Windows 7 Only)

    • Google begins rollout of Android 16 with several new features

      I had this issue and it is a nova android conflict issue. Initially the only way to fix it was clicking the screen off and then back on. Figured out it was because of a task I set up in tasker to load certain apps when I connect to my car, so fixed it by adding a 'go home' task after the app loaded and rarely have the issue now

      I wish one of the windows updates hadn't broken glass. Is there a workaround for that I'm not aware of?

    • OpenAI announces o3 Pro, its most intelligent reasoning model

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI announces o3 Pro, its most intelligent reasoning model by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced o3-pro, its flagship reasoning model that uses more compute to "think harder" and provide consistently better answers. This new model will be replacing o1-pro in ChatGPT since it consistently performs better in math, science, and coding. To help everyone make the most out of the model, o3-pro supports tool calling. So, based on the user prompt, the model can do a web search, analyze files, reason about visual inputs, use Python, personalize responses using memory, and more. This is a big improvement over o1-pro, which lacked access to tools. But the downside is that o3-pro will take more time to respond. OpenAI recommends users use o3-pro in cases where reliability matters more than speed. According to OpenAI's evaluations, users consistently preferred o3-pro's responses over o3 in key domains like science, education, programming, business, and writing help. o3-pro was also rated consistently higher for clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction-following, and accuracy. The new o3-pro model is available in ChatGPT's model picker for Pro and Team. ChatGPT's Enterprise and Edu users will get access to this latest model next week. For developers, the o3-pro model comes with a 200,000 context window and is priced at $20 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens. OpenAI recommends developers use background mode with o3-pro to prevent timeouts. And the model has a May 31, 2024 knowledge cutoff. The OpenAI team also noted the following as the current limitations of the o3-pro model: At the moment, temporary chats are disabled for o3-pro as we resolve a technical issue. Image generation is not supported within o3-pro—please use GPT-4o, OpenAI o3, or OpenAI o4-mini to generate images. Canvas is also currently not supported within o3-pro. As OpenAI continues to refine its models, the balance between speed and reliability will likely remain a key consideration for users choosing the right tool for their needs.
