WindowBlinds 5.01 and HORRIBLE PC performance.

This issue has happened once before and it's happenening again.
These are my PC specs:
Dell XPS m1710
Windows MCE
2.16Ghz Duo
2GB DDR2-667
512mb nVidia 7900 GTX
100GB 7200 RPM HD
Here's what happened in the beginning. I installed WB5 and it seemed my system was slow. There was a 2-3 second delay before any program would open up. Also Windows would not shut down. When I shut down, it went to the screen "Windows is shutting down..." but I can leave it there for an hour and it never shut down.
I'd close WB5 and it still kept happening. I called Dell and we checked all of my system processes. I had 1.50GB free of RAM and my CPU idle was always around 99%. They had no clue, except to tell me to uninstall any new programs. Guess what? As soon as I
uninstalled WB, my PC was back to blazing speeds.
Well I just downloaded the trial version off the website again, and the same crap is happening. I just don't see how this is possible. My PC is a beast and I use programs like System Mechanic 6 and Diskeeper 10 Professional to keep it at peak performance.
What can be the problem?
