WindowBlinds not skinning taskbar and start menu

Strange, happened to me too just after installing SP2. A computer reset somehow took care of that.

I am having the same problem. I didn't notice it right away, but it has worked since SP2

I have a similar problem when explorer quits. I get the rest of the windows skinned right but lose taskbar and startmenu skinning.
haven't yet figured out why though

I fixed it. The combination was amd 64 processor and sp2. SPS activates this service called DEP that if you turn off fixes the problem. I turned it off by editing the line in system properties, Advanced, startup and recovery that says multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=optin. Change optin to "alwaysoff" and restart.

i've also noticed this in winxp-64, dep is turned off though

Jake7777, I really wanted to thank you! I used your solution and it worked. I don't understand what it did, but I am happy.

Thank you very much!
