Oh that was easy...I just found it...cool No problem Except....Where is everything..? lol Just kiddin I got it..

I guess I have this version of lite step v. 0.24.6

Wait...Oh My Dear Lord....Ok... I tried to install a theme that I downloaded....then I clicked on the Icon for setup...It started downloading modules and then my desktop crashed...It was Gone Man ...I was looking at nothing...Thank goodness I had a mouse with a quick button to open a file..I had to go through that to reset to my default theme which put the desktop back,,,,What happened and what should I do to install themes... >

First rule.

Take time to read and learn.

Far better than having a shell crash...

What happened and what should I do to install themes...

hard to tell, unless you provide more information. guess you tried an older theme that isn´t following current standards. this is something you should currently avoid until you get more familiar with the program.

you got the LiteStep installer from Pharoe´s link in post #12, right?

before trying a new theme check wether it is OTS2 compliant. this is usually stated in the description of the theme. also check wether you have the required OS to run a theme, some features need Windows 2K or XP and don´t work on 9x/ME.

i may add that the LiteStep docs are written in a far better English than the answers (like mine) you will get on a messageboard. have a look at them.

Yes....I downloaded from the link you describe above.....And yes I have Windows XP...And it is OTS2 compliant .....I tried to install thru lite step/change themes/install theme/then browse for downloaded file.....Its says that it can run because of a problem...Then I click on the "check to see where the problem occured *and it takes me to what looks like "note pad" with lots of big FONT that I dont quite understand....Any repl...I will be more my next post..

ok, last try: provide more information!

what theme? provide a link to that theme.

"Its says that it can run because of a problem" - that does not make sense at all. what exactly does "it" (a message box?) say?

"and it takes me to what looks like "note pad" with lots of big FONT that I dont quite understand" - that makes no sense either. you don´t understand it ... fine ... how should anybody else understand it when you don´t say what message you get? take a screenshot of "what looks like "note pad"".

csurfside... another way to tackle this, is to install a theme that I know works.

Seeing as we are already here (wincustomize) grab my theme PixOffice from the litestep section.
Install it the same way you described before.
Let us know how it worked.

Yea...I downloaded pixstudio..and it works....Good job.. Please tell me how to take a desktop screen shot...I dunno..?

Ok, I want NonDisjunction. This is the link. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?wp=2&sort=updatedate&searchtext=&order=&library=6 I know its not OTS2 compliant.So how do I make it work. Do I nedd to provide more information.Or will this do..

Please tell me how to take a desktop screen shot...I dunno..?

psst: i´ll tell you a secret. there is a site called Google. it knows pretty much everything.
have a look: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=how+to+take+a+desktop+screenshot+in+windows&meta=
check the first link. it will work.

I downloaded "Lite Step" From a site posted on this message board. When it finished downloading the "launch install Icon" that was placed on my desktop was named ( LiteStep_installer_3.0.2 )--------------------> I installed the program from clicking on that Icon. However on the Litestep desktop wallpaper reads 0.24.7 Now..Do I need to download an update? And if so, can you provide the direct link to it, and also check to see if the link is good. ( I have noticed several bad links that are listed to take you to download updates, that do not..! ) Further more, I am running windows XP. Home Edition with SPA1. I have Lite Step up and running in the default theme. I am, as of now, only concerned about rather I need an update,and where I may obtain it..! I am trying to be as descriptive as possible..Please reply the same way..Thank you, and have a nice day.

the version number of the installer has nothing to do with the version number of the program. so no update needed. we would have told you so.

in post #17 you said you would have version 0.24.6, that was confusing. seems you have the right version (0.24.7) now.

in post #22 you said the theme you have problems with is OTS2 compliant. in post #26 we find out it is not.

it seems you are not willing or able to provide the information i asked you for in post #23. together with the wrong information you provide this makes it pretty much impossible for me to help you.

so two tips, before i leave this thread:

- get LSCP2 from here: http://blizzle.com/releases.php?id=1015 and try to switch to the theme with this. i will not explain you how to use that program, have a look at help.txt instead. maybe this method will work for you. with the (lack of) information you provide this is all i can do for you.

- you can get help on LS also at www.LiteStep.net . but please learn how to ask for help first.

have fun. i am sure somebody else will be able to help you out. i can´t though.
