What you might try is apply the Windows Aero Theme Using WB, it should change everything, then us WB to change to the skin you want.  Had to do this yesterday wtih the update to WB 7 that was posted in Impulse.

Yes Bichur... to IP and Impulse as well as WB7.

@ raggedy ann

I'd suggest uninstalling, using Revo or Ccleaner and then reinstalling. I'd include uninstalling MyColors and Impulse and then reinstalling them BUT FIRST check to see if WB is installed correctly. Then close Impulse and reopen Impulse and check to see if MyColors is installed correctly (by right clicking on the apps in Impulse).

If they aren't, fix that through Impulse.

If you decide to uninstall and reinstall, do both through Impulse.

Yes Bichur...

 

thanks

 

edit: weird, I opened Impulse and there was a WB7 updated dated 07/28/2009 - then Impulse said it had it's own update - ran that and after it restarted  the WB7 update shows as 07/20/2009

I had the same problem last week. After many e-mails back and forth to stardock I did a reinstall of windows and tested everything one at a time after each program was installed. I discovered it was my NVidia driver. I rolled back ro a previous version and then all OK. Since then there has been another driver update and all OK after install.

Windows Vista 32 bit SP2

Cheers

I have the same problem on my pc with xp.  I would have to actually choose xp in WB then it would auto close and when reopened I could go back to

the tool bar I wanted. I have been doing this for a few months now.

 

Today I am having lots of problems with all the stardock products though.

Having lots of problems with att the stardock products does not really explain much. 

Can you be more specific? 

What stardock products do you have? 

Are they all the current versions?

Were they installed using Impulse?

Have you email support@stardock.com and started a ticket?
