8 Popular skins that crash Windowblinds 5.01

I've trying to upgrade to Windowblinds 5 lately, but the process has been difficult, to say the least.
One thing that I've found is that these 8 skins in my collection all crash WB 5 immediately when you try to load the skin. The skin never even gets loaded, just clicking on it once (to see the preview) causes WB5 to crash.
Antares
Apogee
Colony
DinksDX Blue
G-Pod
MetalX2
SexPistons
What is the Matrix?
Lots of other skins, such as Analyze, GT2, Interceptor, and Cast Iron work fine.
I have WB 5.01 build 64, cleanly installed through SDC after removing all traces of WB4, and a couple of reboots.
If anyone else can confirm or deny these same problems, or shed any light on the issue, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.
I've tried deleting the *****.uis_BLOCK.WB4 for those skins and letting it be recreated, but same result. Also same result with deleting the skin and downloading it fresh. WB4 had no problems with these skins whatsoever...
Perhaps I'm misinformed, but I was under the impression that WB5 supported more skins than WB4. I had not heard about any skins being rendered unusable with WB5.
Thanks for the help....
