The msstyles put out by MS should not be a problem. It's the third party msstyles that are at issue. Is this a problem with skinners writing buggy code, or perhaps a corrupted skin editing app? Do you know of any particular msstyles skins that are "kosher"? joe
BTW - I wasn't using DX and msstyles at the same time - msstyles is a new thing for me, stopped using DX years ago. joe
So you're saying WB is less obtrusive to the system than msstyles? Since msstyles is a Microsoft creation, I shouldn't be suprised (bloatware mongers)...

I am, however, somewhat limited in what I can install on my PC at work - msstyles is allowable, but not if it's causing problems. Anyone know of an msstyles forum out there? joe
I have had this problem for years - it caused me to stop using desktopX years ago, but now I have XP loaded and tried using msstyles, thinking it might be more stable - That's what I get for thinking...

Every few minutes, when opening or manipulating folders, or when using the Start menu, the screen would lock up, then
