The "shareware" version has a time limit. After this time period you will only be able to use the XP OS skins. If you wish to continue with being able to use the great skins and the WindowBlinds program, you will need to purchase it.

If this is not the 'Trial' version, it may be that the WindowBlinds Services did not get started.
