Problems positioning Max, Min, Close & Help Buttons; An (unrelated?) error message; No undelete

from Stardock Forums
In SkinStudio I am trying to re-position the Max, Min, Close and Help buttons, in an OS skin. I am trying to reposition two of them onto the left frame, and a third onto the bottom frame. My problem is that SkinStudio keeps loosing the buttons in the editor--though the code for the buttons in question is still there.

This may be unrelated, but I also noticed that when I try to get my skin to refresh, I get a dialog saying "Unable to write to" and nothing else. I renamed the default skin and am double clicking the elements in order to conveniently edit the graphic files--maybe this is the problem?

Also, when I make skin refresh changes, the Undo option in the edit menu is always unavailable.

I am using Windows XP Professional (2002 SP2) on a 950+- MHz AMD Duron processor, 512 Mb RAM (480 available after bootup), 80 Gig HD.

Any suggestions?

What happens if you apply the skin? Are the buttons in the correct positions?
SkS doesn't always preview things correctly.

I've never seen the Undo option available at any time..... I've often wondered why it's even in the menu.
