Will it be based on the YlmfOS icon theme? Or are you starting from scratch? As you have written above, there are many icons missing in XP cause cinnamon has more functionality. For example: gedit has two buttons "search" and "search and replace". YlmfOS uses for both the same icon. What are your plans for this kind of problems? It would need a skilled artist to create new icons, which fit to the XP icon theme. Pitty i'm not very skilled, so I gave up on that :. I use the YlmfOS icons and liked to tweak them little bit some months ago.

I found it a little bit difficult to change the tray icons, i. WLAN, mintUpdate, bluetooth, etc. But i got some of them to work. If you are starting the CinnXP icon project here on github, i would like to follow and maybe even contribute to. So please let me know, when you open a branch for this project.

Definitely won't be starting from scratch so will probably use YlmfOS as starting point; will also keep some of your above ideas in mind. Also, Win7 and Vista have a few icons that could pass as XP icons stylistically, so might use that to fill in the gaps.

I'm very interested in your XP look-alike pack. If you need help with icons, I can give you a hand, have been maintaining the windows 10 Icon pack for a couple of months now. I have a decent chunk of the icon portion started already I'll make a branch soon. If the error still occurs, remove the driver again but, instead of re-starting, open regedit. Browse the registry for any entries that match the name not model of the printer you removed.

Delete them, then restart and re-install the driver. Not everyone has been able to install it, however. This will tell you about system requirements, previous required updates, updates that can cause trouble, and any third-party software you should disable. The list of items to check is rather long. If problems persist you can try installing Service Pack 3 through direct download rather than through Windows Update. You can find the file here. Installation is pretty simple — just run the file, and an install wizard will appear to handle the rest.

You can also try re-setting Windows Update to clear whatever error is the source of your woes. Right click Automatic Update and then hit Stop. Now again go to Start, click Run, but this type paste the following into the text field and hit Ok. Right-click the Download file and rename it to Download. Then try downloading Service Pack 3 again. When you receive the BSOD, you should also see a second set of data near the bottom of your display. The following errors indicate a probable hard drive failure.

Refer to the official Microsoft article on how to run Chkdsk , a program that can examine your hard drive for bad blocks. You should plan to replace your drive soon if any appear. These messages point to an issue with the hardware connected to the hard drive, which may be a motherboard, a RAID controller, or even a bad cable.

Make sure all hard drive cables are firmly connected and all drive controller cards if you have any are properly installed. Finally, a virus can cause this issue by corrupting kernel data. Run a virus-scan to see if your computer is infected. This common BSOD means a driver has failed to provide the data Windows was expecting, resulting in a crash.

In most cases, the issue is caused by a buggy driver, but sometimes it means hardware failure.
