Themes not applying, drawing slowly

Hello,
I tried to search the forums to find a post that addressed what was happening on my computer, but I couldn't find one.
I recently purchased and installed WindowBlinds and other ObjectDesktop products. When I try to apply a theme, or have a theme apply on startup, WindowBlinds acts like its attempting to apply a theme, even showing the Please Wait screen, but when it goes away the desktop is unchanged except for a slightly larger Windows taskbar and text. Also, when trying to change the skin in WindowBlinds, the application window does not have any borders along with the fact that it does not have any buttons to slide left or right, it simply appears black. Clicking in the area where it should be does not change things (or so I assume, its hard to click a button where you don't know exactly where it is).
I've noticed people on the forum usually first ask for the System Information page to be posted, so here you go:
WindowBlinds 5.1 System Information Report:

Both of the boxes at the bottom of the page are unchecked. I have tried seeing if checking the second box (on the right) would help (even restarted just to make sure), but it hasn't improved anything. Is there something simple I'm missing or doing wrong? Or is there a simple fix? I could try reinstalling, but I did just install WB so I didn't think it would be an issue. Your help is very welcome!
