As Acartis said in his thread, when he uninstalled the BricoPack, his computer crashed. If I use the uninstaller that came with the Brico pack, will I still get my old DLL back, along with my old icon sets?

Cheers.  

Yes 99%
No 1%

Create a system-restore-point before you install the bricopack,
install and uninstall it in safemode (press F8 during the bootprocess)

What is the 1%?

We`re talking about an old destructed Windows XP with errors  ...

Crap. So if I uninstall it, my computer will be a 30-pound paperweight?

Yeah But you can reinstall Windows though..
Just install it and don't worry. Life is all about risks

My computer came pre-installed with Windows so I can't reinstall it. But seriously, what's the point of having a "destroy-your-computer" button disguised as in uninstaller?  

I installed and uninstalled Bricopacks way more then 100 times without any errors - like most of all other members here. Bricopacks are futured by Computermags, they are as much secure as they can.

But lots of Windows-Systems crash right now without that someone install/uninstall something ...

If you use a Bricopack or not, you should backup your system, 1:1 mirror like Norton/Symantec GHOST do (or any other mirror-software, some mabye freeware). Then you can make an 1:1 copy of your HD and go back to this point ...

I know someone who had the same problem. But it was solved when he tried the method from Breakfastclub

It's been a year now that I am using this program.  Ever since I've got a lot of crashes with Microsoft programs that I cannot find a solution.  So, as always...system restore of WindowsXP 2...and now...my registry was a mess because of.....I cannot delete some older programs that I installed before.

Right now, I disabled..Windows Update..and I am running smoothly...but as always...I am anticipating more crashes because I am using 3 browsers which.....they are not compatible with each other.

Somebody can help I think...thank's in advance!

Hi FX777222999,

what kind of browser do you use ? Usualy you can use Opera/IE/Firefox together without any crashes  
What kind of errors ?

It`s always bad when the registry messed - and usualy you can safely use the Windows-Update  

When you find some time backup your files, do a format c: and install XP with all your programs/browsers and all what you need and then mirror your HD (with Trueimage, Norton Ghost), this will create a complete 1:1 copy of your HD - this means you can reset your OS to this point within a view minutes. (when my OS crash now I`m online again with a fresh XP and all programs in 4 minutes).

Creating a ghost image of C: drive before installing a BricoPack (or any similar system mod) is the best option. Creating a restore point is all very well but you have to remember restore points don't last indefinitely because of the limited space that's assigned to them -- new ones will eventually overwrite older ones. Plus, System Restore is not always 100% reliable even on XP.

ok..here's my problem...i installed the "windows vista inspirations pack" which is about 27mb setup file.
After installing i realised that some of the settings i wanted, were not opted while installing.
So i uninstalled the software.
After a reboot, i tried to re-install the pack and a dialog box message is displayed, "Another Shell pack is uninstalling, Please wait and reboot if needed"..
pls help me in this regard. I tried deleting the "bricopack" folder from \windows too...but to no avail
