1) XPize will reload all your files for you using XPize Reloader. No worries, but I recommend you to install XPize after all patches and programs have been installed. 2) .NET is required for XPize Settings, an application bundled with XPize which lets you tweak some desktop settings, among other things. You must install .NET 2.0 for it to work. If you don't need XPize Settings or are a .NET hater, do not install .NET. XPize will do its job just fine without it. 3) A couple of users reported that, so I thought it was a good idea to let users know about that issue. It is an uncommon one, so don't worry. I can't help on that because I don't use such kind of devices. By thw way, I am XPero and my application is XPize
