Magic Suite didn't change everything the way it should

from Stardock Forums
I apologize ahead of time because I'm sure the terms I am going to use for my problem aren't correct. Even though I've had theme manager, windows blinds, etc for a few months now, I haven't really done much with it. So here goes..

I downloaded and applied the Magic Desktop Suite. At first my weather gadget wasn't working but I looked around the forum and figured that one out.

So my problem now is everything didn't change the way it should. I have Windows XP and the task bar at the bottom and the start menu didn't change. My icons, wallpaper, bootskin,. etc all changed correctly but the task bar and start menu didn't. I'm not sure what I've missed.

Not sure what info you need so here's all I can think of: Windows XP, IE 7, Windows Blinds 6, Theme Manager 2.50.045.

occationally probs simular. What usually seemed to fix it for me was to launch the windowblinds app and just select "Apply Changes". At least for me that seems to work

Ok, so maybe that's my whole problem. I open WindowsBlinds and I don't even have the Magic Suite to select, unless I'm not looking at the right spot.

Post your system information from Windowblinds.  There may be an issue there.

When I apply the Magic Suite, some of my IE buttons go away-specifically at the top right corner where the minmize/maximize/close buttons are supposed. See screen cap below:

Ok, I seem to be having problems here. This is the first theme I have purchased. I finally figured out how to get the theme to work, but how do I get the icons? I do have icon packager. Are the icons only for Vista? Any help would be greatly appreciate! Thank you in advance!

I get icons in xps2 with no problem. How did you install the suite? I know if you use the Theme Manager app then it will give you all sorts of choices as far as wallpaper, icons etc. The only thing you cant do in XP is actually change the toolbar icons in IE7 but thats because of MS not Stardock
