Hi Stardock people !

I have a little annoying glitch in my system. After running Registry Mechanic from PCTools, which found lots of junk from programs that I uninstalled...I now cannot see the images in Wincustomize...? Specifically, the tiny thumbnails for the categories are visible, yet not the larger image links which maximise on your screen when you want to view a cool background or desktopx icon etc...

What have I done wrong ? Obviously, cleaned a potential registry entry associated with Explorer and cookies perhaps. How can one fix it ? I just reinstalled my system w/ new drives, partitions, memory etc....it's more irritating than critical. everything else flies

Spec: XP2700+ZalmanCU, 2x1GB Corsair XMS-TWINx PC3200@333 cas2(2-3-3-6) dual-ch, geforcefx5700le 256mb OC, 2x80gb/8 pata133, 160gb pata100, 2xcd-rw, dvd-rom, antec smartpower 350w, winXP home sp2, EZArmor, adobeCS, StudioMX...etc.

thanks.constructive criticism welcome...

I doubt Registry Mechanic did it (if you want, just click on the 'Restore' option and restore the changes it made). The culprit is more likely EZArmor. Look for the option to allow pop ups on the Wincustomize site. Make sure you allow the same changes for all Stardock entries.

thanks yrag.
i'm looking too closely, in the wrong direction... I had fixed it before...unknowingly ?!
I'll try that when I get home. That could be why a few other good sites behave strangely, eg. www.photoshoptechniques.com ... it's animated logo = no animation, yet it works from office just fine ?
thanks for quick response too.
