PC crashes and reboots upon clicking "Apply Changes"
Monday, April 21, 2008 by Lord Wadjo | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hello!
If this is already posted somewhere here, I apologize in advance and would appreciate a link to that topic.
Now on to my problem: Everytime I click "Apply changes"/"Apply my changes" my computer locks up for a few seconds and then reboots. I've had a similar problem before but back then I had to apply my changes/change skins quite a few times for the PC to crash.
It is working to that degree that it still applies the skin I've selected, and it is still there after the reboot, but no options I've changed are saved. The option in particular I'm trying to change is the Sounds-option, as the nice-looking skin I currently use has some really loud and annoying sounds.
Is there anyone who has heard of or experienced this problem before?

It doesn't say anything, it just abruptly crashes and starts up again, similar to me pressing the reboot-button on the computer-chassis.

I have same problem https://forums.wincustomize.com/309419 sorry did not find this before.
If I double click the desired skin it applies fine BUT if I select it then press "Apply my changes" my cursor sticks in situ and the computer freezes until hard booted - ctrl-alt-del will not even cause reboot. the desired skin is applied after the reboot.
