Whenever I try and play a video in fullscreen with Nero7 (Nero Showtime), or my TV tuner card, I end up with sound, yet no picture (black screen). In windowed mode, no problems. If I unload WB5, they play fine. Took me a bit to figure out WB was the problem, but I've tried back and forth, unloading/enabling WB, same result every time (no fullscreen with WB enabled). Have also tried several skins, with the same affect, so it's not a skin specific issue. Went to the "per application" se

All righty, got it sorted (I hope). Thanks for the help stone. After I got windows to boot normally, I uninstalled DX, cleaned out the registry, then reinstalled. Seems to be working now. Only thing was, after that WB stopped working correctly. If I loaded a skin, it just distorted the size of my bar, but wouldn't skin anything. Did a reinstall on that as well, and now things are working ok, at least they were yesterday. I'll find out when I get off work, lol. Didn't seem to be Norton, I guess N

Thank you for the quick reply Stone, but no, I disabled system restore. I don't use it for several reasons. One being many virus/trojans can hide there, and if I get hit bad enough, it's a pain in the ###, but since I pay my bills, do banking, and shop online, if it comes to that I would feel safer doing a clean install. Plus, after a restore, it leaves clutter behind. Also, I'm a performance freak... ODT is the only "unnecessary" thing I've tried running. Last, I like to know what causes a prob

Downloaded Object Desktop last night. Just trying it for the first time today. I loaded a wb theme, then a cursor theme (bought cursorxp pro also), then decided to try desktopx. I downloaded a theme from this sight, sorry I can't remember which one, then my pc froze on loading theme. I did a hard shutdown and powered back up. Now, every time I try and boot up, my pc gets stuck while booting, reloads to the dos type screen "error booting blah blah, could be caused by software or hardware changes,

OK. I got windowblinds a while back and love it. So I figured I'd give DesktopX a try. Everything worked great for a while, till I tried to run a scan with Norton. It wouldnt scan. So I try downloading a program from Norton to fix the problem and explorer freezes. So I do a little more searching, and discover it only freezes when I try downloading an activex control. Next, go to Microsofts site and discover a certain scripting exe must be damaged on my pc. Microsoft tells you just to download th
