This sounds like you are using the version 5.00.001 which uses the ODBC source.
If you are an Object Desktop subscriber, you can update to the latest beta 5.00[b].009, which does not use the ODBC source.
If you can post the text from the "System Information" report generated in WB5, there may be some additional help available. 
| Does an Object desktop subscription cost money? |
Yes it does ($49.95).
As an alternative, you can try to go here https://www.stardock.com/sdnet_login.asp and fill out the appropriate fields to receive a download link via E-mail for Stardock Central. Note - this asssumes you have purchased the stand-alone version of WindowBlinds 5 and will therefore have an E-mail address and password to use.
Install Stardock Central after downloading > select the Object Desktop category in left pane > use Tools\Register products to invoke the register dialog > select the WindowBlinds 5 listing in the drop-down menu > type or paste your serial number in the appropriate field > click "Update" > select the "Show pre-release versions" option in the bottom of the Stardock Central window > install the WB 5 version 5.00[b].009 - which is the latest beta, and uses the ".ini" file.
You might want to uninstall the current version of WB 5 before installing the latest beta, to remove any issues that may linger due to the ODBC data source issue.
Note - If you are using the "shareware" version of WB5, then you will need to wait for Stardock to release the updated 'release' version of WB5 to update your installation. I do not have any accurate information as to when this will be released. If you are using the shareware version, and based on the current issues you are experiencing, I would recommend waiting until the updated shareware version is available.
