WindowBlinds 5.01 Beta 008 + Explorer x64 = Partial Functionality

I have found that no matter what version of WB 5.01 I use, it will crash the 64-bit version of Explorer. It works fine with the 32-bit Explorer but this is not satisfactory. I've read all of the posts regarding this and none of them are any help at all. If someone at Stardock can address this issue, please do. I would love to use the software I payed for with Explorer x64. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. I have listed the information below for the curious and helpful.

Wbsrv.dll 2006/03/17 11:16:44

I'm running 5.01d[b].008 dated 06/06/2006
Looking through WB history I don't find that date.
The latest I find matches what I show in 'system info'

Wbsrv.dll 2006/02/05

Wblind.dll 2006/06/06 12:09:02

This also matches mine, but the history says "the x64 install will still be the 5.01 release"

3/20/06 wblind64.dll

but then, maybe the history needs updating.

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wbload.dll | 02-23-2005 | 16:09:00 | | 32768 | d9c49a15

I noticed that this is loading in the 32-bit section and the date is over a year old. Might this be an issue since Windows XP x64 needs a 64-bit DLL in order to function properly? Also is wbload.dll the same one (wbload64.dll) as what is in the program folder? I'm trying to figure out if I can make a workaround.

Did the released version of 5.01 work for you?

If so, you might want to roll back.
