I am using After Dark with no problems.  Well almost no problems.  The only
problem I have is if I put it in the system folder for the "Login" screen.
(You know, the one it would be most helpful to have it on...)  Anyway, it
won't let you login, even with a consloe window.  After Dark does not seem
to want to die when the login takes affect and keeps the login from completing.

Any suggestions???

Mike.
