Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Firstly, Vista is not a hunk of crap! You should try it -- theyve fixed a load of issues with vista. Okay, it wasnt what they ought to have achieved in so much time - but it is definitely a stable platform - far more so than xp.

Secondly, I know I said Im a noob, but that was specifically in the use of litestep. I know how to use windows, otherwise I dont think I would have attempted litestep at all.

I tried applying a wallpaper through explorer (as already mentioned), the trouble is that when I reboot litestep doesn't appear to be loading the windows appearance options (specifically the wallpaper)

I tried using a .ini file (I'm assuming this only works when you install the theme?) I'm not sure that I'm using the correct code for it the .ini file. Do you have a snippet I could borrow?

Otherwise, what seems strange is that either MZscript or LSWchanger is loading the wallpaper when I use the Litestep > Recycle function. So I must have done something right. However, it still isn't loading on startup. Is this a Vista related issue.

(Sorry about the long post, but it seems I need to explain the entire problem for people to understand what I'm saying...)
