Did the problem happen before you installed the new drivers, after, or both?

 I recall something similar in these forums long ago. I think in that case it was fixed by a WB update( or maybe a driver update) but my memory isn't what it used to be. :S

Try adjusting the transparency sliders to the right and apply changes.

That's an old version, you should use Impulse to update to the latest version. (I show build 289.)

 Update WB then post the entire About WindowBlinds  info here.
