i've installed it in c:\litestep and i'm using the default simplicity theme (at least trying to use it)... i've just tried it on my 98se (by installing into a different directory) and it works... but i generally work in 2k, so i'm still struggling... i've tried disabling the anti-virus program but that doens't help either... i've copied the mscvp60.dll (or whatever it's called) into the litestep directory and it still doesn't work... doesn't work as in moments after login, windows says an error occurred and kills the process... (so i end up without a shell and need to log out and use explorer or geoshell)
