Classic Windows Theme on every WindowBlinds Theme

from Stardock Forums

What am I doing wrong?

I'm running XP and WB 6.30 I think, I know it worked before. Is there something else I need to download? Should I try the newest WB version or what? Thanks!

 

Ohh it's also a fresh XP install with all the drivers updated, it'll even allow me to use custom .msstyles and has Sp3.

Sounds like a good plan.

Any system hacks used?
If so, revert them to orginal 'unfiddled' version to avoid messing up with WB.

Because patches/hacks like the Uxtheme patch tend to mess up WB. That's why.

To revert, run cmd as Administrator and type in  sfc /scannow  

That should revert any altered system files to the default MS original files. In XP, you might be asked to insert your installation disk. Don't worry, it won't wipe your system.
