Do you have Styles XP, WIndows Blinds or any theming software like them?

Nope all I have is that patch which allows third party visual styles to run.

Possibly, styling programs etc. have a tendancy to do that.

You're welcome

These things can happen from one day to another, there's no clear explanation as to why. If you want to keep your Windows healthy i advice you to stay away from styling programs and tweakers. You can get pretty neat results with the built in styles and a nice wallpaper already.

Almost all programs by a "unnown" person do that, better try well know programs by a industry or corporation (Y)

Better quality. I had trouble too with patching softwares for windows, but never with tweakin soft nor WindowBlinds, but if you wan't to be 100% failsafe, don't use any of these
