Something is making me think that the skin features were not correctly installed in your system… I cannot guess why.
If you run ashLogV.exe, can you see any error info that could help us to help you?
This particular skin (“low res”) is used when the system is running with a limited number of colors (16 or 256 colors). Can it be the case for the administrator account?
Well I packed up the Laptop for now. I didn’t realize there is simple interface 1 and 2 and both of those work fine its the standard interface that had the problem.
One of the simple interfaces looks just like the standard interface so I don’t think its a resolution or bit depth issue.
