right click your bar - properties - start menu - make sure you're using 'start' not 'classic start'

Glad to hear it ! The issue could also have been that the skin in the preview was a subskin of the original skin. Like for some vista skins, you have the 3 different vista beta styles. One with the black and green start bar. One with the semi transparent start bar and windows, and another with the black start bar and blue windows orb as a start button. Most start off with the black and green start bar, with solid windows, but the preview before you download may be of the glass orb one . Leading you to believe the skin was incorrect... when infact it was simply a previewed subskin .

Glad you got it fixed tho . Nice program, isn't it ^__^.

I have a problem with many of my skins. When I choose Compact Menu, it's always the full menu. Am I missing a setting somewhere? No, I am not using the "Classic" menu.
Thank you, Mary

MsPooma... compact Menus are set by the Skinner/Author. There aren't any settings to turn them on or off. I can't think of any reason they would not be working. How are you choosing Compact menu?
