Installed SP1, then rebooted as requested. Everything looked good. WindowBlinds continued to work. Last skin I was using before the update loaded up no problem.
Then I opened
Control Panel. The window showed just 8 empty colums, with the one on the right end having an arrow at the top of it. I pressed the arrow and it gave me a menu. But there was nothing on the menu that would help. So, I closed
Control Panel. Immediately, the
taskbar turned black. I could see nothing on it. However, when I hovered over the approximate area where the
Start Button should be the
Start Menu popped up, only it was not skinned, but was displayed as the
Windows Classic style. So, I reinstalled the skin. This time, the taskbar was visible, but, like the
Start Panel, was showing the
Windows Classic style. All other windows were skinned. Only the
Taskbar and
Start Menu weren't.
So, I rebooted the system one more time. Everything now works. I opened
Control Panel and it is fine. The
Taskbar and
Start Menu are fine.
Go figure!
