    Ok, I just bought a new computer, and it came with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and for some reason, Window Blinds will not skin it. I downloaded it, and when i change the theme, it changes it to Windows Classic. Does anyone know why? Ive used Window blinds on 2 other computers with Windows XP Pro. Why dont it like MCE?

    Windows MCE is has two versions. Windows Pro MCE 2003 and Windows Pro MCE 2005. Wich version do you have. I have both versions and I will see if I can skin either. I have, however, never skinned my 2005 because I use my own version skinning like in my signature. But, as for the 2003 edition, I have skinned it successfully plenty of times using Windows Blinds. So, it may be the version or something of WB you got. So, try another version if you have 2003. Since my 2005 is my Alienware, it comes with WB for the Alienware themes, I can test and see if it works or not on it as well. So, I am taking they work or it wouldn't be on here. So, try to download another version. If you have to downgrade, the features wont change, all it does is skin the damn thing.
