Crashes on 64-bit Vista since last update

WindowBlinds takes down Windows Explorer

from Stardock Forums
I started up Impulse last week for a change, and got a new Windowblinds version (6.10a[b].144, released 20-06-08. Ever since I've been having weird crashes in Windows Explorer that give an error like the below:

As you see it clearly blames WBLIND64.DLL. Has anyone else been encountering crashes? I also updated my Nvidia drivers at roughly the same time to the last WHQL, 177.41. I've had no crashes in (other) DirectX applications or games, only in Windows Explorer/Windowblinds. WB System info:
