Custom theme slows my pc

[ronnyabl]

Hello,

is it normal that a custom theme slows my pc.
Explorer is very slow. My internet seems suddenly extreme slow, when I type something in google, it takes a few second before it apears on screen?

I used this theme www.themeraider.com/2011/09/alienware-theme-for-windows-7.html

Specs
Amd Phenom x4 965BE
Asus M5A99X EVO
HIS HD6870 Ice Q Turbo
Corsair HX750
Corsair XMS 2x2GB

are you sure that it is the theme thats slowing your computer down and nothing else?
have you tried applying back to a normal windows theme and seeing if the same thing happens?

 

[ronnyabl]

Yes, I dit an system restore and all was back to normal.
I then installed the theme again and there was the slow pc back.
I also tried other themes and they all slowed down my pc.

Themes usually dont make a computer slow. The basic elements of a theme doesnt put any load on the memory. Can you tell us what exactly you are doing while installing a theme ? How have you patched your uxtheme.dll ? Using uxcore or universal themepatcher ?

 

[ronnyabl]

I followed all the steps provided by the theme, you can see above in the link I posted.
I used UXcore, put the folder Concave in the theme folder and than run a exe file that belongs to the theme.
I also used an extra icon pack (Neon pack 2).

No I even got a message from windows that my system is running slow and that I should not use an aero theme.

what theme are you running now? any Aero theme? or Basic?

 

[ronnyabl]

I'm still running the customized theme from Alienware.

 

[koolkat77]

Is it still slow? right now you are having the custom theme installed, are you still getting errors that your system is running slow and not to use an aero theme?

 

[ronnyabl]

The error message was yesterday evening and then it was still running slow.
I shut down the pc yesterday when the system was running slow, now i'm at work and havend used my pc yet.

Do a system restore again.
After using UXcore tried just installing the theme only and do not install nothing else can see how it runs I have that same theme on my computer and it does not slow it down at all.

So far no more error messages and the system is not slow anymore.
