    I read that it's better to do a fresh install if possible. Should get a speed improvement if you do. Will see how it pans out before I trash my hard drive...

    Just tried to do Windows Update and got this, wtf... lol

    Your computer's date and time appear to be out of sync with an update certificate. To fix this:
    1. In Control Panel, open Date and Time Properties.
    2. Ensure that the date and time are correct.

    Read more about steps you can take to resolve this problem (error number 0x80072F8F) yourself.

    Anyone using a patched UXTheme.dll, will have to uninstall it and run the SP3 compatible Theme patcher v6.

    Were you as annoyed as I was when you rebooted and saw your theme all messed up and defaulted to Windows Classic, and just about to start M$ bashing, when the penny dropped...?

    Yeppers, lol. SP3 installed now, and I've left it on the classic theme, I'm sort of used to it now strangely.
