I've downloaded the WB and all the extra's, having only one problem, I don't seem to have the wall. I've checked the WB folder but I don't see it in there. A little help please so I don't feel left out.  

EDIT: Never mind, went to the WB page and got my answer.

I'm wondering how different the skin looks on different operating systems? I have Vista Ultimate and my hubby has XP Pro. Let me tell you, I do not have what he sees on his screen. Major Differences!!!

This is an XP skin, you wont see the places being referred to in Vista.

Blame Vista, it's the culprit   

Vista skins have a badge saying their designed for Vista.
