    So I started to resize my boot partition with linux, and then it failed, retarded.

    It didn't do a lot of damage, I can still boot and windows did the automatic filesystem repair. I was having a few DLL errors when running gpu-z and stuff but they seem to have stopped.

    The only thing left is that opening images from my desktop with picture and fax viewer crashes it immediately (the viewer not the whole computer).
    It still happens if I explore to my desktop folder, and it does not happen with any other software like paint.

    What it doesn't happen with is the downloaded file links in google chrome. I can download files to my desktop, click on the file in chrome, open it with picture and fax viewer AND scroll through all the images on my desktop but not open any of the same files through windows.

    I guess if this is totally mysterious and impossible to fix, thats ok, but its odd eh?
