In Windows 98, start menu is not skinned, but in XP it should be, even if you have a shareware version. Try loading a different skin, some skins don't have XP support

Thanks for responding BoXXi,I have full WB version and running XP.From looking at many comments lots of people seem to be hung up here.All the pre-views have a skinned Start Menu but I never see them.Is it something you have to build yourself I wonder.It is not ObjectBar cause there is not one for Traslvaynia,which I am using on top of your Gridscape.

An XP skin should skin the start menu automaticly for an XP. Don't know what to tell you.

Go to Display properties / Appearance / WindowBlinds/ System and see if "Do not use any XP specific skin features" box is checked.
