I downloaded the OMAR Installer, but whenever I do the installer, it doesn't install. No new window comes up, I get the hour glass next to my cursor for 3-5 seconds, and then it goes away, and I can't install.. Any suggestions? I'm running XP Pro..

may sound silly - but where did you download it from?

Here..
But I got it working.. Something was glitching in XP, I just rebooted and it installed.. Meh.. Typical Microsoft problems :)

cool :)

Lots of times stuff like that happens when a component (like your video card or your HDD) get's too hot, and windows knows it's a bad idea to continue.

If it keeps happening, check to see if anything is overheating.

Doesnt the installer tell you to reboot?

The installer installs everything, then the computer needs to reboot to load the new shell acurately (needs to restart winlogon in some cases)

So either you missed the little box asking if you wish to reboot, or something is heinously twisted :/

No no no.. the Installer didn't even run at ALL.. Like, not even the Welcome window would show.

oh... so it was a "personal" issue...

Yea.. Wasn't a Software issue.. haha.. Just rebooted and the installer would work, rebooted and it worked great.. except for the fact that I kept getting a Skin Installer error lol
