WB 6 quits working

from WinCustomize Forums
Okay, here's a strange one. I've been running WB 6 for several weeks now with no major problems. I restarted my computer today and suddenly WB won't apply any of the skins. I start out in Windows classic style, and other than changing some of the colors, no skin is applied. I have restarted before without trouble, so I'm not sure what's up now.

Vital stats:
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.0 (build 32 x86)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to RADEON X300 Series

Wbsrv.dll 2007/09/23 09:10:43
Wbconfig.exe 2007/10/01 17:09:33
Wbload.exe 2007/09/27 15:42:44
Wbhelp.dll 2007/07/11 14:06:07
Wbui.dll 2007/09/22 12:13:06
Tray.dll 2007/09/12 17:52:21
Screen.exe 2007/09/30 14:18:24

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

PS- I have made no significant changes to my system lately or added any new apps other than installing Object Dock. I have xp SP2.

Can you tell me whether this is the trial version or the paid version?

Maybe try to get the last WB update trough Stardock Central if that didn't run you should contact stardock support by sending a mail to [email protected] and referring with a link to this post

It's the paid version.

Have you updated to the latest version through Stardock Central from the link in reply #2.? Your version dates are old and the update should resolve your issue. If not, post your WindowBlinds System info again after updating.

I downloaded the update. Do I need to remove WB 6.0 before launching the installer for the updated version?

Thanks to all those who have responded so far. I appreciate it.
