I just installed litestep, and im having this problem. Everytime I try to open file manager, windows explorer, or internet explorer, suddenly windows starts to pop out on my screen. Sometimes its a "windows" window, sometimes its "config" window, sometimes its "my documents" window. It keeps opening and opening and opening the same window very fast, faster then i can close them. I have a few screenshots of it but i dont kno how to post it. If anyone knows how to fix this pleas help me. Thanks!

Did you reboot after the installation completed?

Seems your site has exceeded it transfer limit. Upload the screenshot into your profile for us to see.

Please, try to disable taskbar3 and see if that helps or not.
You can disable taskbar3 by going to the "simplicity\modules" folder, right-click on taskbar3.dll, recycle, and see if that stops the problem.
Alternatively, to disable taskbar3, you could edit "simplicity\step.rc", and comment this line:
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$taskbar3.dll" ;taskbar3 0.305
Comment the line by putting a ; in front of it.

well um hmm it hasnt happened in awhile i try and run minimal themes and free up my memory. if i were you id try and find a more stable version of litestep (whether it be older or newer) if you really want to continue using it. i really dont have much experiance with problem shooting i just do the best i can to divert pissing my comp off.
