I tried 020604 at first and while it seemed to have fixed all the lockup-problems, it didn't seem te be able to save any settings and always reverted back to the default skin. Background music also didn't seem to work (as I couldn't turn it on since the settings wouldn't save) and none of my apps/games on F: were detected.
The 020904 version, however, works perfectly. I tested this version the same way as the previous ones (lots of skin-switching, playing with the background music settings, rebooting, etc) and it works perfectly -- it hasn't locked up once, background music works perfectly, apps/games are all detected, etc. .I've been unable to locate any problems with it.
Great work!
