The problem is every time I try to apply ANY skin, I end up getting a screen like this:

Link

and my computer completly freezes (the processor usage is low, its not actually the whole computer frozen...) but you can't do anything, any window that would normally be skinned becomes extremely laggy and it can take about 4-5 minutes to even be able to try and unload the skin I attempted to apply. I just updated my GFX card with the latest driver, and am looking for some help with this issue.

Thank you.

Have you tried rebooting?

Did this happen before you updated your graphic card?

Well, I've gotten screens that look like that too, and I installed my legal copy of WB5 through SDC. In my case, it doesn't happen on every skin, but it can happen under certain circumstances. Also in my case the PC only locks/is sluggish for 20-30 seconds. Clearly not every installation of WB that exhibits similar behaviour is pirated.

True. But since WB is Neil's baby, I'm guessing he knows cracked when he sees it.

I am sorry to say I can spot a pirate copy rather easily.

On the other hand Neil, think of how busy you would be ripping your hair out trying fixes issues if you couldn't spot them.
