WindowBlinds 5.1 not working with Windows XP Pro x64

I recently obtained a copy of WindowBlinds 5.1 after having been informed that it works the best with Windows XP Pro x64; however, when I attempt to apply a skin, WB merely applies the Windows Classic theme in the skin's colors.

Since that is such an old version of WindowBlinds where did you manage to find it?

I thought it was 6.1 or 6.3  that worked best with XP X64.........

I suggest you get with sales@stardock.com and see if you can "purchase" a version for XP x64

Unfortunately, none of our products are supported on Windows XP x64. While you may get a product of ours to work on XP x64, its use on this operating system was never intended.

I don't believe the trial of 5.1 supported 64 bit XP.  I think that was added to the later trials.
