2. I've done some more research on the C:\WINDOWS\I386\ASMS\1000\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDI PLUS.DLL file. This is in a copy of the original XP disk stored on your drive (the make installing extra features easier). Again, it is safe to just copy the patched version you've just used for Works.

This is all due to one of the security features in Windows XP. Basically, important system files are backed up and if one is replaced incorrectly or becomes corrupted then it will automatically be overwritten with the backup IIRC.
