CTRL+ALT+F1. Run 'edit'. Open c:\litestep\step.rc. Make it so the file only contains the following lines:

rcStep "step.rc"; Added by LSTS
dirTheme "$LitestepDir$themes\simplicity\"; Added by LSTS
include "$dirTheme$$rcStep$" ; Added by LSTS

CTRL+ALT+F!, recycle.

I'm also a newbie and have suffured this problem several times. I always have better luck doing things manually versus with LSTS, but what do I know!
