What a way to introduce myself huh? The first post i make and its already about an error i can't seem to fix...my apologies for that.

Here is the basic jist:

I installed litestep today and took a liking to it, of course i wanted to try a new skin so i got 'smog' from this site and basically unziped the zip file into the themes folder and manually edited themeselect.rc to switch to the new theme. I rebooted - waited for personal settings to load - a pop box tells me i need to download some modules for this theme to work - click ok - download of some modules failed due to zip files being empty? - click cancel - windows all messed up!!! - finally switched back to default skin -

now I get the errror - Error! can't initialize plugins directory - when I try to access things from the litestep menu.

help ;)

1) Never Install an OTS2 theme manually when you don't have to.
2) Never Install an OTS2 theme manually when you don't have to.
3) When all else fails...reinstall LiteStep

I cant re-install it cause i get the same error when i ran the installer, i tried to un-install litestep via the add-remove programs in control panel and i get the same error. I can't switch to explorer either because i get the same error.

well...there is no plugins directory to LS so I don't know where the problem is. I would suggest going into task manager and starting up explorer to reinstall LS.
