I am just wondering if this was caused by me or wincustomize...

I also want to add, if it was caused by Wincustomize, what are my rights as a victim.
Sally screams... victims have rights too!

Yeah you're being victimised.

A deadlock is when two computer processes are effectively waiting for each other to completebefore continuing themselves. Now seeing that they're waiting for each other, they will never continue, unless a third process breaks them apart. Which usually means one process is stopped ('killed') and the other continues.

It's something on the server side (namely: badly coded server software). Has nothing to do with your machine.
