WB6 start menu problem

Another clue for the debug team.

from WinCustomize Forums

I have noticed that this 'unskinning' of the task bar and start menu happens on my computer when it goes to hibernation.  When I wake up my pc (by hitting a key or moving the mouse, I clear the screensaver and 'IT' has occured).  I almost never turn off this PC, and the 'unskinning' is always happens, or shows itself 1st thing in the morning.

Hope this will help the debug process.  And keep up the good work, I'll still renew.... 

Running Window XP sp2.  Running Zone Alarm security suite, DesktopX (builder) and Object Dock (current beta and finals on all Stardock software).

Did this just start happening with WindowBlinds 6 (had a previous version worked any better for you)?

If you restart your system, does it start up skinned?

How much video and system RAM do you have and what is the version/date of your video drivers?

Only started on WB6. Once the taskbar and start menu are affected, they never come back even after a reboot, the rest of windows skins correctly. The 'preview' is gone on the skin selection menu also from that point. I have 256mb video memory, 1gb system ram. I usually run system ram at only 70~80% during normal operations.


A new point - this morning all is well so far with the skin. I'm using a skin called 'light blue II'. On the configuration menu (select skins) the task bar and start menu are gone - but working good so far. Go figure. I just don't want to start you down a wrong path, but the day is still young....

If I can supply anymore information please ask.
