"I am hoping we are on the same page. It has to do with the settings.ini found in the directory:
%c:\users\"your name"\appdata\roaming\vistastylebuilder%
Since it was a program written for Vista, its really not set up for win7 by default. If you notice, they advertise it "with windows 7 support", not compatible.
Anyway, cruise to that folder and open up the settings.ini.
Right underneath "[settings]" copy/paste this:
FirstImageId=508
So that it will read as this:
[Settings]
FirstImageId=508
currentSearchType=1
It will still change the numbering. But you wont get any bugs or unable to log back in, if thats what was happening.
Also, using style-hacks will change the order, as well. I manually edit and insert all images, then use Vista Style Builder for Text and fonts, text coloring and any other chores that can only be accomplished through hex-editing.
