Windowblinds won't load after reboot

from Stardock Forums
When I have a skin applied and I reboot, XP loads and the default blue style shows up, but XP thinks the custom skin is there. If I go to display properties>appearance, it shows the custom skin in the preview box. The only way to get the skin back is unload Windowblinds, then re-apply the skin each and every time I reboot. How do I go about making it load seamlessly each time?

It should do this automatically.

Is this the trial version or purchased version? If purchased did you uninstall the trial before upgrading?

Open Windowblinds configuration and select system information. Copy/paste that info here.

These indicate 5.1.009 release (via sdc i believe)

This is from 5.1.009 trial version:

Wbload.exe 2005/12/21 01:04:47


and this:

Wbsrv.dll 2005/12/20 22:57:13


I've seen but haven't found...yet...

Looks like a mixed installation, perhaps had not uninstalled the trial before installing the paid version. Complete uninstallation of WB (copy your skins folders somewhere first), a reboot & re-install of WB via SDC may be in order.

Thanks for finishing Daiwa.. I started to edit fright after I posted... but something came up and by the time I got back... it was too late.
