Depending on what OS you are using....assuming Windows 98.....the solution is simple...

Reboot the computer....press F8 as you do, and get to the startup menu...
Choose command prompt only...
Type...
edit c:\windows\system.ini
Press enter
In the [boot] section...
edit the 'shell=' line
Probably says...
Shell=c:\program files\litestep\litestep.exe
at the moment...
It should have been...
Shell=c:\litestep\litestep.exe
Normally...
But...
Chenge it to...
Shell=explorer.exe
Save, and reboot.
You will now be back in normal WindBlows....

I really MUST set all this as a macro to paste into message boards...
Once in Exploder again, open a file manager, and check the path to your LiteSTEP......cut and paste the folder/s so that they follow the path ....
c:\Litestep\etc....
With the litestep.exe residing in the litestep directory.
That is the NORMAL configuration for litestep.
Then, you can re-edit your system.ini to point the 'shell=' line to the CORRECT path, and reboot once more...

Rule No1 with LiteSTEP, check your paths...

I'd say that it's rule 0, though, since it's almost obligatory!

No, Xymantix, Rule 0 would be RTFM....
