Redhat Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I would just like to let everyone know about Litestep, a free alternative to explorer.exe as the Windows shell. I'm running it presently, and have attached a screenshot of the skin I am using. I haven't had one crash yet! used to be bless with errors every five minutes before, now I can get them for love nor money. It's easy to setup, and easy to get back to 'normal windows'. It works in 98 upwards, but, of course, if you want real stability, Linux is what your after :P http://www.litestep.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Blimey Redhat.......the sooner I get my second Pc up and running the better. Yeah ok I am a coward and am sticking to windows for now but that screenshot looks amazing!! I am going to try linux and all sorts of wierd and wonderful things once I have this second system going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Not given me any probs, Have you given the next one down 'Indie' litestep a try.Have you tried with just the simplicity theme installed? Then work up from there.try this workaround, install it without booting into Litestep, then go into litestep once windows has loaded.Quite pretty once you can get it up n running :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
