new problem came to my side. it started after i revered the alienware theme to normal 7. here wat happened :

as u all already now, the alienware theme customized icons including folders. after i revered it to normal (using stardock or sumthin, basicly the software that came with the theme), all customized icons were revered to normal but with a small unidentified icon (the default icon for unreadable file) at bottom of the icon (example : folder icon). my mistake i think was i closed the stardock program and when i noticed the problem with the icons, i tried to run stardock again but failed all the time. then i thought i'll try to restart it & when i reached at login page, the login box disappeared! the only thing left is the ease icon on bottom left, restart/shutdown on bottom right & alien sense login. sadly, i couldnt login with alien sense no matter how i tried. for the record, i been using alien sense 90% of time since day 1 & logged in previously b4 this problem arise with alien sense too. i googled for solutions but none of it helps. solution i tried so far,

1. safe mode = failed (stuck at same supposed to be login page but without the alien sense)

2. repair = tried to repair with recovery cd but was unable to do so.

3. restore to previous = failed

4. recovery cd = used on recover partition, which install new windows. now i have another os7 in my lappy under recover partition. able to access original partition but dunno wat to fix. currently been copying files from original partition into backup hdd in case have to format it. if recovery cd used on main partition, it says it will put it on windows.old folder, which u can access all old files but cant run the previous windows anymore so i dare not to try it yet.

the best part, my warranty juz expired last 2 week. anyone can help?

like i mentioned b4, i cant login after i restart my laptop. technically, i'm stuck at login page but with no login username & password box to fill in details. plus, alien sense is not working.

nothing worked. tried every possible process, even if have to restore back to factory default by using (dell data safe or sumthing). called dell to come over & reinstall os back to default this tuesday for rm274.

talked on the phone with dell technical support person b4 confirming payment about my problem & he was quite surprised with my case & never thought stardock will cause trouble this far.

so guys, i'm not saying dont use stardock alienware theme, but juz be carefull with it. once u use it and thinking of revert it back to original windows 7 theme, make sure u make backups & restore point b4 u install stardock alienware theme.
