Unable to apply a theme

assistance required...

from Stardock Forums

pretty much the same problem as this guy https://forums.stardock.com/304762

same with mine when i apply a theme that i bought for mycolors or the themes from alienguse it would revert back to windows classic, not only that it will mess everything up i aint got a toolbar right at the top (with the minimize/maximize or close options there) see this screenshot below

my Operatiing system is windows XP pro i got 2Gig ram 1333/ and a nvidia gcard 512MB a few games and adobe installed. i have checked my zonealarm and that isn't whats blocking from applying so... any assistance will be appreciated :)

this is the screenshot

The other fellas issue was that he was using an hacked copy of the software.

With MyColors you'll need to get the latest version installed and then re-download your MyColor themes as they have been updated to work with the upcoming Impulse (which you can also download in Beta)

I'm with Bichur on this one. It sounds like you could have multiple instances of WindowBlinds installed or running. A OEM build of WindowBlinds from Alienware would also conflict with whatever version was running. Also skinning software does not like to play with others. Have you updated your video drivers?
