<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last time I installed it, it worked fine.
That was probably 9 months ago. You may need to add the Soft Gems folders
to your Environment folders.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I had all sorts of strange problems with the
Soft Gems XP themes on D5. Some components would not end up being themed,
and then more major problems, such as when terminating an app, it would appear
terminated but it was infact still running with the CPU sitting at 100% and
needed killing in the Task Manager. And there was some other access
violation problem I was having with a ListView which I was not able to solve,
even after debugging the Soft Gems code, so I gave up on it and upgraded to
D7.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not all my apps had these problems, so it was
rather inconsistent. It may work fine for you.</FONT></DIV>
