Renewing account

Hi dudes,

First, a big thumbs up for the awesome products you provide us with   

Second, a big cheesy grin for constantly answering all our problems promptly   

Now then, a few quick questions...

1. Next month I will be due to renew ODNT.
However, If I renew ODNT before my subscription is up, will my 'new supscribtion' start as of now (losing a months upgrades etc) -or will it start as of the end of my current subscription ?
....that question seems alot clearer in my head.

2nd, I have partitioned my hard-drive with XP & Vista Ultimate.
ODNT works fine with XP, and Stardock Central seems fine (so far) on Vista. But when I try and load Windowblinds 6 on Vista, it comes up with an error message telling me to reboot (even after rebooting again & again). Uninstalling/Reinstalling etc etc hasnt worked. I have disabled anti-virus, Firewall, all the usual, but still no joy. Error message reads:
"This machine MUST be rebooted after installing this version of WB5. if you have rebooted and still get this message, you may need to disable any registry protection/anti spyware apps you have and reinstall WindowBlinds, as they may be incorrectly preventing the install."

I read in a different post someone copied a "wbservice.reg" file that seemed to work for him, but it doesnt for me. Any ideas ?
...I am (trying to) instal WB6 from an archive saved on XP.

I want to renew the product, but if its not going to work on Vista, I cant see the point.

Please help, wave a magic wand, fix it for me, or even buy me a brand new Alienware-51 m9750 if you feel that guilty about it !   

...seriously.
