Thanks Zubaz - Yes, I use an HP Pavilion laptop for my workhorse web and graphic design work, and the graphics are pretty good for the machine. To your question of earlier version ... i think I have always been using WB5. Is there a particular version you would like me to test with. If so, would I be able to continue use of the current skin I prefer? Does the skin itself have anything to do with the blackout or is it the WindowBlinds kernel code itself at issue

Anyone have any suggestions now that I posted the configuration info requested? thanks, dbMorris

Hello folks - It seems that roughly once a day, my skin (using Arrow) will go into a black state for both the taskbar and tray completely in what appears to be a random time. Below is a sample snapshot I took of normal and abnormal condition WB5 goes into. According to Stardock Central, I am using WB 5.01f.
