Stupid WinStyles/Component Manager!!! *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*
Sunday, November 3, 2002 by JDavidHarper | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
ARGH! Something is wrong with WinStyles! Every time I try to load it, it says, "We're sorry, but WinStyles has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
So, I open up component manager, and Voila! I find the new version of WinStyles (1.31 I think). So, I install it, and it gives me the same error message. I then uninstall the first version, and try to uninstall the second versions. It won't let me, because it thinks that they don't exist, so I delete their installation files and try to re-download the new version. I don't know what it is doing, but there is no way it is downloading the complete file again, because it only takes it about 5 seconds to finish a 1 meg file (I'm on a 56K modem). But, I try to install it anyway, and it keeps giving me the same stupid error! (with the WinStyles 1.20 heading on the box). Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks elvee.
CycleKitty: I have XP Home. (Yay!) I'll *never* use ME when it isn't necessary; my family has it on one of their computers and it runs slow as anything.
To the rest of you: Glad to be entertaining. ::takes a bow::
