Summer is right around the corner(in the USA anyway)so my mom sent me this. New Treatment For Sunburn A guy fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs. He went to the hospital, and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns. With his skin already starting to blister, and the severe pain he was in,the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrol

There isn't a big difference between the two.How to tell which one you have:Vista standard/greyish start menu and buttons with your user pic above it on the right,windows don't [U]animate[/U](they"shrink",not fade in and out) when min/restoring,taskbar lighter colored.---- Vista Basic/darker taskbar and startmenu,bluegrey buttons,user pic inside the start menu on right side.The effects are very subtle,personally I don't miss them enough to switch back over and always have a WB loaded anyway.It's

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner.If you use the Vista UI(no WB) and want the animations,pick Vista Basic. When you apply a Windowblind though, it will change it to Vista Standard.You have to change it back each time you unload Windowblinds if you want the effects on.This confused me at first too. ;)

No edit again. X-( Never mind,I read where it said XP only for MP skin. However,Invader on TSF's site works quite well(and is awesome) with WMP11 and Vista,if you want to fill out the suite.

I may give it a shot,thanks Darken. Can anyone tell me if I'll need to delete my Invader WMP skin first or will it be ok to overwrite it ?

[quote]Anybody else still having trouble recoloring packages? Mine stopped working right after the first day.

I have determined from going in and deleting all the duplicate,colored icon files that the image corruption occurs in the recolored packages.Some were totally unusable. The originals are ok.I can recolor or change brightness, IP creates a duplicate,sometimes corrupt package but will

Is this a MyColors theme when installed or a separate app than MC/WB? Vista had issues with AlienGUIse. :NOTSURE: I think I'll stick with what I have for skinning my PC.The Invader and ALX Vortex media player skins for WMP11 are awesome though, and work well.

I take a picture with my Pentax35mm,take the film to Wal-mart,get it developed,have it enlarged,scan the picture,save it,then upload it. I sure wish there was something like a "print screen" button or something,and a way to paste the image in some graphics program.But then that would be the lazy, easy way. ;p [quote]You might actually get a peak at the rare but loud forum goose.

And isn't it nice of MS. Since we don't get aero,they give us two versions of ugly. ;p (Wizard quickly re-applies Windowblinds,trying not look at it) ;) {edit} You only need to re-boot if the Vista Basic option is missing,otherwise just select it and apply.And it's only disappeared on me 3 times,so that's rare, not "once in a while". :D

With control panel go to personalization and appearances, go to color schemes,classic ,you should see Vista basic and Vista standard. One does the window effects and has a different user pic location than the other.I use home basic also. Once in a while a blind will unload Vista basic,leaving only standard. when that happens,re-apply Vista desktop to unload WB's and reboot. I hope this helps. :D [edit] Vista Basic is the one with the animated windows,but I think WB's needs it set to Standard.

Will it let you re-apply the normal windowsUI without a reboot,or does it hang then also?What skins have you tried?If you want,post a little more of your system specs, and steps you're taking.I'm sure that will help.The mods may move this thread over to a better spot,where more may see it. Hang in there.[quote]I'd suggest you install it again and post your system info (in a new post) so we can see what is wrong and get it fixed.[/quote] You may even want to start a new post,like Zubaz
