excuse me, may i know where to buy WindowBlinds 5 original version?? how much does it cost by the way? i'm only 16 this year... sweat.gif can't afford to buy anything expensive.. =_=; another question, does adding RAM to your computer actually makes your system run faster? or is it the processor that makes the system run faster? i'm having quite some problem here.. i'm using the Desktop Sidebar, Rainlendar, Icontweaker and Vista Visual Styles now.. my system seems to be very slow and laggy because of that...

any suggestions to make my computer run faster? my RAM is only 256mb..
and the processor speed is 1.7GHZ.. thought of upgrading my comp after CNY.. use ang pau money.. hehehe..

yes, you can add an analog clock using samurize.
search for it at deviantArt. there are quite a few analog clock configs there. smile.gif

Need an advice here. Does using Visual Styles, Samurize configs, Findexer, RK Launcher or everything that has anything to do with desktop modding can effect system in some way? or effect on registry or something, you know because of some of the programs change registry rite?

yes. mods that involve registry hacks will definitely affect your registry. what's wrong with your system?

And one more thing, between visual styles and Windows Blind, which is much better?  icon_question.gif

IMO, Windowblinds skin is an enhanced version of visual styles, with transparency support, drop shadows etc.
go for visual styles if you prefer minimal look. or windowblinds if you like bling-blings on your desktop.
i personally go for windowblinds. biggrin.gif

why don't you try to use WinSockXP Fix? i've used it before to repair my connection. but try it at your own risk. tongue.gif

for your second question, read this.
or google for "windowblinds and visual style myths"
