i upgraded to windows 98 se and the error is gone. can you give me any good themes for an older computer. i dont want to have too much load on the cpu when im doing stuff, mainly because i will be running on battery most of the time in school. i want to prolong the battery as long as i can. i can get 1 and a half hours now, but i need at least 2 - 3 hours. i dont know if this program will help much, but any amount is great, thanks for the replie.
