changing folder name to c10k fixed it danke danke!

it's actually safer to just close explorer.exe and then rename the old MSGINA.DLL to MSGINA.DLL.BAK and then replace it...that way if u fuk up you can always go back to the original...then restart explorer.exe of course...that's the best way personally....

omg, if you don't want to take the help that's offered to you, then don't ask for it. That program is like 5kb and it's the easiest way to replace system files. If you'd actually read what came with the theme, you'd have already learned a different "safe" way to replace your system files. As to your question, yes, that will work.

A bunch of people PMed me asking for my mod of C10K (screenshot), would you mind if I post it here?

Please don't post or distribute the color scheme you made, Bant and I will eventually get around to doing more color schemes. I finished ergonomic which coincidentally is almost the same color as the one in your screenshot. Once I finish two more colors then I'll post an update, harass Bant so he'll make more color schemes for his mod. :p

No biggie guys, there are a bunch of different ways to replace system files. Here's how I do it:

Delete msgina.dll from both your 'dllcache' and 'ServicePackFiles' folders. Easiest way to get to those folders is to open up a Run box and type their names in. Once that's done go to your 'System32' folder (again use a Run box), find msgina.dll and rename it to msgina.bak at this point Windows File Protection will pop up. Click Cancel then Ok and copy one of the msgina files from my archive to 'System32' and rename it to 'msgina.dll'. I usually log off then back on to see the changes since it's faster than rebooting but sometimes you may have to reboot.

If I didn't confuse the hell out of you with my half-assed explanation let me know how it goes.

Giga, sorry I didn't get to do the final beta testing. I was in Chicago all week. I had good fun and good shopping though. :D BTW, turned out to be an AWESOME theme. If you need anything from me, I'll be happy to help. :happy:

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
