ok, i'm having a major problem with litestep.

I'm a newb, and i installed litestep and logged off and back on, it came up and started looking good.

But then it went to a screen with just the backround and nothing else, no start bar, nothing, i restarted via ctr-alt-delete and the same screen came up.

My instant messenger client, AIM come up, and i can alt tab to that, but nothing else i click/press brings up any windows or options. I only alt-tab between AIM and nothing, and control alt delete to see teh windows task manager...

I have windows xp....
help...

eachman, which installer did you use, and are you using the default theme or something else?

this happened to me too. i have the default theme installed and used the most current installer. i can't open up my start menu, i can't right click to bring up the menus, nothing. my computer is a gigantic paperweight right now and i really don't want to format it AGAIN.

ok i found a few fixes to this on the forum after searching. i put explorer.exe back in the shell option in the system.ini ... i don't think litestep is right for me.

system.ini wont work if you are on xp, just use setshell availible in the litestep folder and set explorer shell.
