WB6 doesn't always start after booting Windows XP SP3

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I installed my registered copy of WB6 on my Acer Aspire ONE "Netbook" running under Windows XP Home SP3 and all is well. However, I noticed that in about 1/3 of my boot-ups, WB6 skin does NOT start  In these cases, even clicking on the application does not replace the standard XP skin. When it works, the selected WB6 skin is activated and the WB icon is in the system tray.

So,... is there a secret to ensure that WB6 skin starts when I boot-up my computer?

(Using AVAST 4.x AV and XP's built-in FW)

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here.

possibly Avast is blocking WB from loading at time?

What does Windows look like when it has not started on bootup correctly?

When WB6 doesn't start, the normal Windows skin appears. Double-clicking on WB doesn't resolve the issue. I need to reboot for WB6 to run properly.
