+# Blocky Icons
+
+Some programs ask for a specific offset of an icon group, rather than a specific icon size, and then pixel-resize it to fit. Contact me and explain which dialog(s) is(are) affected, and what icon is being displayed incor-rectly sized, and I'll try to get fixed in a later release. Some icons, such as Windows Firewall and the Wireless Network Setup Wizard, are often displaying icons using incorrect sized source images even with the default icon set, and the Patcher may just be exposing these flaws.

+# Constant Reloading
+
+If the Reloader constantly keeps telling you there are files that need to be reloaded, there may be an error with the ResHacker-Script.
+
+Please check the following steps:
+1. Check `C:\Program Files (x86)\WinTango Patcher\Logs\<filename>.log` for any possible explanation
+1. If all operations are listed as completing successfully, check the file in a Resource Hacker to see if the resources attempted to be modded exist in the file. If they do not exist, ResHacker will not add them (that's the difference between the -modify command and the -addoverwrite command) and will report the operation as successful.
+1. If you can trace down the problem to one of the two, pass a copy of the `<filename>.log` and the affected file to me.

+# Icons not replaced
+
+There are several potential reasons why various icons may remain un-changed after the Patcher has run:
+
+* If you have used some other piece of icon customization software such as IconPackager to apply an icon set, those settings will continue to take prece-dence over the default theme in your system files. Reset any affected icons to their default setting using the software you used to perform the customization.
+* Some icons simply aren't set to be changed yet, because the Tango icon theme or its derivatives don't include appropriate icons, or they do, I haven't gotten to using it yet. If you're pretty sure an appropriate resource is available, bring it to my attention and I'll try to get it replaced in the next point release.
+* The Patcher may have failed to completely clear the icon cache.
+* The resource hacker may have failed to modify a file. If you know the name of the file, check for a file named ".log" in the Logs subdirectory of the patcher folder, and if it contains an error, pass it along to me for analysis.

+# Incomplete Uninstallation
+
+Sometimes the Uninstaller may fail to completely remove all the leftovers of the Patcher.
+
+If you face this problem, here is a quick guide on where you can find all the possible files & entries:
+
+### Files & Folders
+The Patcher saves its files in the main installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\WinTango Patcher
+If you successfully ran the Uninstaller and this folder is still there, you can safely remove it.
+
+### Registry
+The Patcher also uses the registry to store some information.
+Again, if you successfully ran the Uninstaller and these entries are still there, you can safely remove them.
+
+Main Reg-Paths:
+* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WinTango Patcher 
+* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\WinTango Patcher 
+
+Control Panel Icon:
+* HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{77708248-f839-436b-8919-527c410f48b9} 
+* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{77708248-f839-436b-8919-527c410f48b9} 
+
+As some users may not be very familiar with editing the registry by themselves, here is a REG-File which will do the job for you. Just double-click it and press "Yes".
+
+Afterwards your system should be cleared of all traces of the Patcher.

+# Uninstallation fails
+
+In the event that the Uninstaller fails to restore your backup files (or the functions responsible for keeping the backup files up to date have gotten confused and stuck a patched file in by mistake), leaving Tango! icons behind after you have uninstalled it, here are some suggestions for restoring your system:
+
+### 1. Repair Windows System Files via Console 
+Open the Command Prompt (as an Admin) and run:
+`sfc /scannow`
+
+This will restore 99% of your system files to their original versions. You will need to reapply any hotfixes that you have installed.
+
+### 2. Make a Repair Install
+Boot your system from the Windows CD, and perform a repair install. This will be necessary if the patcher leaves the system in an unbootable state, anyways. You'll need to reinstall your drivers, and some software, but your user data will remain intact.
+
+### 3. Re-Install latest Service Pack 
+If you have a fast internet connection, download and install the latest Service Pack (if available) from Microsoft.
