WB5: Skin returns to windows classic after reboot

from Stardock Forums
Just purchased and installed Windowblinds 5.

Everything works great, apart from the fact that when I reboot, my skin is forgotton and the windows classic style appears. I have to start Windowblinds, re-apply my skin and everything works fine again... until the next reboot.

Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Many thanks,

Paul

Do you have panda internet security/AV installed?

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the reply.
No, never had panda installed, I'm in the McAfee AV camp.

Hi Paul,


         I had the same problem, here is how I fixed it.  I enabled the windows theme service.  I disabled it at first because I read somewhere, either it was on this forum or on wincustomize that if you disable the windows theme service, WB5 would take up less resources.  After I installed WB5, I rebooted, disabled the theme service and then rebooted again.  I then applied a skin and it worked and I was happy untill I rebooted.  It went back to the windows classic theme.  I re-enabled the windows theme service and now everything is working just fine.  Sorry for the long winded post!  I hope it helps!
