Hi Neil,

The link was in hopes for your finding support and/or a proper forum.

Dear Kelly:
Apologies if I sound obtuse. The link you send points to
download sites for the program.
I have already downloaded the .msi file from a variety of
sources including Microsoft. I get the same result.
On installation, I cannot maximise nor fit or resize the
program window.
I did troll through your site for answers ( I usually do
if I have problems with XP)
Is there a problem with the way Sp2 is handling the
installation? I also have Spybot S&D installed.
When the installer open, there is a quick flash of a
screen that I cannot read but the installation proceeds
to finish.
As I mentioned earlier, it works on a computer with
XPP/Sp1 but not on my machine(XPH/Sp2). The file is
exactly the same one I downloaded.
Could it be that XPH in conjunction with my display
settings or Sp2 is making the program behave in this
strange way.
While it says registering the product on installation,
Searching through the registry, I found nothing that
relates to Theme generator - there is no registry entry.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Neil
