i've been using litestep for about 6 months now, i formated my computer and re-installed litestep, it was working fine for about 3 days then i created my own skin that was working great, but it jammed once... so some how i reset it to the explore shell and un-installedl itestep then re-installed it... but when i logon to my account i have to press: "alt + crtl + delete" then jsut close that window and litestep works.. but when i try to change my theme it just screws up again... any idea's?

err... bad theme? :P

try checking what you have in your theme.rc, disabling modules to see what you have wrong.

Close what window? Screws up how? Before or after unloading the current theme?

are you using the default winxp logon method? if so, switch to classic to fix it, it's a known problem.
