How to create cursorxp themes

from WinCustomize Forums
Please be patient. This has probably already been answered, but how do I create cursorxp themes? Is there an FAQ somewhere on the web? If so could somebody please direct me to it. I have photoshop le 3.0 something. I read the other post that said that you could create WB themes with photoshop, but how do you save them as themes? Again, if there is an FAQ I could be directed to I would appreciate it. Thanks

On a side note, any ideas why my windows xp professional keeps randomly rebooting? I have a legal copy that has been activated.

Thanks

There's a CursorXP FAQ at http://www.cursorxp.com/support.html. You can make CursorXP themes in CursorXP. You can't create WindowBlinds themes in Photoshop, but you can make the graphics. You might want to put you question about the rebooting in a seprate post.

I believe to create CursorXP themes, you make your graphics in your favourite graphics program(s), export them as PNG, then import them into CursorXP. If you rename a CursorXP theme file to .zip, you'll easily be able to see how it's made up.

As for your rebooting problem, Windows XP will reboot if it encounters a fatal error (much like the blue screen, but with less blue and lots more rebooting). This hasn't happened to me, or most people as far as I'm aware. The first step would be to try restoring your system files by running "sfc /scannow". If that doesn't work, it's possible that a dodgy device driver (most likely for your video or sound cards) is causing the problem. If there's not another driver you can try, reformatting and reinstalling Windows is always a good last resort. If the problems still persist after this, then it's likely you've got a piece of hardware that simply isn't compatible with XP, or is just dodgy and needs replacing, this could be anything from dodgy RAM to a bad motherboard. Best of luck, hope the sfc sorts you out.

There is an option somewhere to tell Windows NOT to reboot automatically on every error:
1. Open System in Control Panel.
2. On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
3. Under System Failure, select the check boxes that correspond to the actions you want Windows to perform if a Stop error occurs:
- Write an event to the system log specifies that event information will be recorded in the system log.
- Send an administrative alert specifies that your system administrator will be notified.
- Automatically reboot specifies that Windows will automatically restart your computer.

Nope, it just does. ZAP! Like that, no warning no nothing. Happened to me once or twice. But then when it reboots it does a scandisc if you have a hard drive still in FAT23 (I do - got one NTFS and one FAT 32), otherwise I think nothing special happens, it just reboots.
