Windowblinds Not Working With MCE2005

Just purchased Windowblinds 5 yesterday and it does not appear to work with Windows Media Center Edition 2005. I have an HP m7250n Media Center desktop with an Nvidia 6800GS video card. After installing windowblinds 5 and rebooting I tried loading a skin. It appeared to load, but the Start button, task bar, and all windows changed to the old "windows 95" look. I tried several skins and none worked.

Has anyone else had this problem with Windows Media Center?

I am having the same problem. I just purchased it yesterday and it isn't skinning properly. I've got a support request in. I'll let you know what the response is, if I ever get one.

WB5 is fully skinning MCE2005 without any issues on my Fujitsu Lifebook purchased 12/05. So it is probably a particular combination of hardware/software issues specific to the affected rigs; it's definitely not an incompatibility with the OS per se. FWIW.
