I completely deleted Windows Me 2 months ago and don't want to reinstall it. So there are no non-XP screenshots, and non-XP themes were last tested nearly at that time, and I'm not sure the combinations listed here will work on non-XP windowses, but the they worked on XP and software says to support all other versions of Windows

P.P.S: Is Connectiva written with n or with nn?
