When I go onto WinCustomize and download a skin, I usually just let Firefox open it with WindowBlinds, since it'll automatically install it for me. However, I've done that twice, and it has screwed up my computer. After the skin was installed, I opened up WB to apply it, and it kind of stopped half way through it, leaving half of my taskbar skinned, and not allowing me to use anything on the screen. I could move my mouse around, but that was pretty much it. I had to restart into safe mode and uninstall WB to fix this.

After it happened the first time, I reinstalled and tried applying some other skins to see if this was just a fluke. They all applied just fine. I thought it was a fluke. This being said, I went back onto WinCustomize and downloaded another skin. I opened it up automatically just like I had done before and went into WB to apply it. This was a different skin, but I experienced the same problem. To fix it, I had to do the same thing as before. This caused me to think that it only applied to downloaded skins that were opened automatically.

To test this, I reinstalled WindowBlinds, and downloaded the same skin that failed last time. This time, I saved it to my hard-drive, and manually browsed to it from within WB. I opened it up, and applied it. No problems. It worked perfectly fine. This being said, I can only conclude that a skin opened automatically from the Internets will not install correctly. I am running Windows Vista x64-edition with SP1 installed. I just recently bought Object Desktop, so this it the first time in a while that I have used WindowBlinds. I never experienced this problem when I was using the trial version a few months back. I now have WB 6.1 (build 91 x86 - Vista Edition) installed, according to the about page. Is this perhaps a problem relaying only to me? Thinking it through, I've reinstalled it 3 times and experienced that problem every single one of them.
