Aston shell compatibility problem

from Stardock Forums
I installed both the Aston 1.91 trial and WindowBlinds, using the 5impleAlpha skin supplied. Everything's working well together, except for the start menu, which is experiencing corruption:

What could be the source of this problem? Thanks in advance!

I've also noticed that this problem is only with the 5imple and Windows Classic skins.

Thanks!

is that a WB trial version or paid version?

if its a paid, if you installed through SDC - you might check to see what version is available to you now - i'm running 5.00[b].011 and my dates are more recent on a lot of the dlls

It's the paid version, and nope, I installed it standalone. The only other Stardock program I have is the free version of ObjectDock.

Well, I just switched to the 5imple 4.x substyle, and everything's working well. Looks like it was a skin problem.

Thanks for the help, Bichur!

I could be wrong - but I think you are allowed updates to programs you have purchased, possibly to include betas of WB (not sure on that) - be ever how it may, try downloading SDC if you don't already have it: Link and see if it shows any updated versions available for you - if so, it may take care of the problem

tis possible you may want/need to uninstall wb5 and then reinstall through SDC - there is a place to put your registration code in
