A theme -- a background picture, icons, cursors, sounds, and so on, all
Shadowrun-related. So, for example, you'd have the logo on the desktop, My
Computer looking like a cyberdeck, the "system busy" cursor looking like a
spell being cast, and lots more (not that I have any of this, I'm just
thinking out loud. Hell, I can't even get the animated cursors to animate
since my HD crash :/ )

This is not related to Shadowrun in any way, but I think I know what your
problem is with the cursors. One of the 'device' statements in your
config.sys file is running in DOS mode (or something like that), this
slows the whole system down and you lose cursor animation. To fix it, just
'REM' the statements in your config.sys file until you find it. 95
probably doesn't need the statement anyway.

I hope that helps.

Ray.

Oops. Me feel silly. That wasn't meant to go to the list. Sorry.
