Okey, I would have to say up front that I am very new to all this. All i know is download a Skin and Apply it using Windows Blind. Now the problem is that, it seems that any skin i download when i try to apply it, it does not work like it is suppoed to, and then it lags my computer. Right now for some odd reasons i can't use WindowsXP theme anymore just windows classic.
When i went to Windows blinds system information i got this:
Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
This is because :
Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to
I figured okey, thats why all those cool pretty and to die for skins wont work (example, the new blue/black skin by Treetog, i really love it). Doesn't explain why i can't apply WindowsXP theme anymore
Okey so now i am trying to buy a new Graphics Card? Maybe that would fix it? Could anyone please give me ideas on what type to buy.

I appreciate any help. Sorry if i sound desperate.
