"cannot view any .rc files" ummm...reinstall windows? this is NOT a normal problem, and I don't even see how it could be related to litestep.

"i cannot open rainlendar." ummm...details? do you get any errors?

"i cannot shift+right click for any bar options." that's probably because it should be shift-left click.

"i also get this error whenever i try to open the file." when you try to open which file??
