WindowBlinds Skin will not load on startup

from Stardock Forums
i have a problem with my skin loading on startup. to get the skin to load i have to open up windowblinds, unload windowblinds and then load the skin to get it to work. it used to work fine until i enabled "use the welcome screen" for the user login and installed a windows vista icon package.

I know, it will say it in SDC

But WB is up to 5.01m{b}.017

Ok I have everything updated and it still gives me the problem. It's weird because when I startup I have to run the WindowBlinds application, then unload it, and then load it to get it to work.

Everything is up to date. It doesn't give me the option to update anything in stardock.

I think maybe you got a bad install.
archive it, uninstall it, reboot, try a fresh download.

After you get done playing with the dates, un-load WB, open WB config/ Basic Settings: un-check ' Apply any Icon Packages Supplied'. Hit Apply changes. Re-load skin.
