I\'ve read many posts regarding this but none seem to help/apply to me. I\'ve downloaded 3 different themes (all OTS) and when I switch using LSTS only a few of the features load, the background doesnt switch, and when I switch back to simplicity it gives some of these errors:

1st Theme:
-Exception when quitting module
c:\\litestep\\themes\\retro\\modules\\lsslider.dll

2nd Theme:
-Exception when quitting module
c:\\litestep\\themes\\simpleplan\\mods\\grdtray3.dll

-Exception when quitting module
c:\\litestep\\desktop2.dll

-DesktopBackgroundClass
Unable to register window class

-Runtime error Litestep.exe

3rd Theme:
Crashes, have to do ctrl+alt+f1

I\'m running 0.2.7(used the omar install) under XP. I\'m pretty computer savvy so if anyone could point me in the right direction I\'m fairly certain I can figure this out.

Thanks

Yikes! That's a lot of crashing going on! Well, until an actual expert comes on the scene to help...I think I'd first try using the latest indie build to see if that makes a difference. There's a link in the downloads section.

*** thats 0.24.7 sorry. And the errors come which I try to switch back into simplicity from each of those themes.

grdtray3 sounds like you attempted to load a very old theme. Are you sure it's OTS compliant?

grdTray3 is a very bad module. There were stable and unstable builds all over the place. You should look into replacing it. Same goes for LSSlider. Now both of those modules will cause the other issues you are reporting.

Could anyone name an OTS theme they know works very well? I need to try to isolate this problem.

I'm seasons right now, and I haven't had a problem with it.
