Why can I not close folders with the top right 'X'? Major problem

The whole top bar is inactive and the only thing i can do is double click on it to maximise & restore to previous size.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Have you tried using differant skins?

What OS are you using?

Have you tried rebooting?

If you can't click any of the buttons, check that you don't have Logitech Immersion Desktop, CommonNames or anything else that alters the titlebar loaded. They can interfere with the chain of message passing so WindowBlinds doesn't get them.

Try disabling things until it works, then you at least know what's causing the conflict.

As GR said:
Are you using an I-Feel mouse? If so, please try the following:

Set WindowBlinds to load on startup by using the option in the
WindowBlinds configuration window.
Un-check the 'Start Automatically' option in Immersion Desktop.
Place a shortcut to Immersion Desktop in the Startup folder.
Restart Windows.

This will allow Immersion Desktop to start automatically, but after
WindowBlinds has loaded, and should alleviate the problem.

If you don't have this mouse, or the Immersion Desktop software, are you running an internet utility called CommonNames? (Installed with Kazaa and some other internet programs.)

Have a look in Add/Remove programs and see if it's there.

Really, the logitech software is likely to be the problem if it's an iFeel. I think there's a way to disable the movement when you go over controls - try disabling it and then reloading WindowBlinds by selecting Windows Classic theme and then a WindowBlinds theme.

I experienced this with the first version of Olympic OS skin in WB, downloading it again, deleting the old one and reinstall helped me.
