OK guys - my site should be back up now, with all files available for download (thanks to chooseyourvoice.com for hosting the main bandwidth hog!!) lol

Anyway, it seems my host is in the process of changing their IP addresses, so if your ISP hasn't updated their DNS stuff (??) you may not be able to access everything just yet. My apologies. :(

edit: I just discovered that my site is currently accessable only if you omit the "www." from the address. In other words, to get to my site, click the pic in my sig ;) What a pain in the a$$ my host is turning out to be. lol

I can't believe the timing of this, lol. I've checked into why my site is sporadically unavailable, and found out that my host's DNS servers are pointing to my site incorrectly, only one of the servers has the correct information. That's why SOME of you can access my site, and others cannot. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I've suplied them with all the information they should need, and sent a support ticket - so, they should have the problem fixed soon (hopefully within 12 hours of this post) ...

Again, I apologize - I've never had any problems with my host before, but things have been all messed up lately - so, I'm sorry. But it *should* be fixed very soon.

:D

For those who are interested:

I've just updated the crystalMX IconPackager theme, you can get it here:

http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=2&SkinID=1074

Most main file type icons are now included in the theme, and all the icons now have 256 color versions (for Win98/2K users) ... :D I also added 56x56 format for all start panel icons, so they scale better in WinXP. Click HERE to see the new start panel icons, as included in the IP theme ...

Anyway, that's it for now. Enjoy! :D

These are system files, meant to replace the default ones on your Win XP. You'll need a program like Replacer.

Yeah, you need to replace your default system files like shell32.dll, etc ...

Or, you can use IconPackager to apply the icons, I made an IP theme here: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=2&SkinID=1074

IMO, you're better off just replacing the files like hush66 said, although using IconPackager is a bit simpler. :)

This rocks man. :)

I just rebuilt my PC and installed this pack.

I now have everyone asking me to do there's.

Now that gives me an idea. :shifty:

How much should I charge ? $50 or $100 :whistle:

With all credit going to you of course mavis

Credit?? I get "credit"?

I'll tell you what sounds better: you can take the credit, and then send me 50% of the money you make ... ;)

:D

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.
    • "performance issues? what performance issues?!"
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
