Look, im sure you geniuses know a way to fix this but it doesnt take away the fact that i am pissed, ever since i registered aston ive been having problems..I had a simple Video driver problem so i rolledback(xp). Now today i tryed the shell swapper and when it pops up i have the aston i had 4 weeks ago which was nothing but the register screen. For some reason i have no start menu which mean i have no way to go back to explorer. This is ridiculous and im pissed.....now that i have vented please tell me how i can fix this...

---UPDATE---
The rollback 'fried' essential parts of the Aston installation. Essentially, the reg key got removed from the registry, and the machine wouldn't boot properly - though, in addition, there must have been something else too, for reasons I won't go into here. What we did was use the task manager to activate the shell swapper to allocate explorer as the default shell. Then we uninstalled and completely cleaned the system of all traces of Aston, re-installed it, and them put the reg key back in - once that was done, everything was fine.

The driver issue still remains to be solved, but that isn't Aston related, and this isn't the place...

Just thought this info might come in useful if anyone else has a similar problem.
