WindowBlinds update crashes my Gmail!!

Hi, I've been using WindowBlinds for two years (as part of Object Desktop) (the paid version). Lots of fun, occasionally quirky and sometimes doesn't behave itself (which seems to be the general experience from browsing this forum). Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version (4.6). It's really cool, but . . . with a skin applied (or a theme, for that matter), it crashes my Gmail!! Has anyone else experienced this? I have Windows XP Home SP2, Zone Alarm Pro, AVG Antivirus, and am behind a router. I tried putting WindowBlinds-related things in a safe zone for ZA, and so forth. Nothing. The only thing that works is unloading WindowBlinds . . . It worked before, now what??? I must confess I didn't do the way some of your mods have suggested -- uninstall the old version, then install the new one . . . But that wouldn't do this, would it? Thanks Wendy

Well, I'm back after a long absence due to an accident and hospitalization. I'm OK now.Window Blinds has advanced significantly in that time. The look is eye-popping!

One comment I must make. Boot Screens have gotten me in huge trouble and I had to uninstall the program. A computer I had two years ago choked on a bootscreen and simply refused to be recovered. When I reinstalled bootscreens last week, well, once again XP decided it wasn't happy. Luckily, however, I was able to get back in, and then decided it was, for some reason, just too risky for my computer.

Anyone else had a problem? Just curious.

Bootskins has and remains one of the programs that is hit or miss apparently because of the bios of each system. Stardock does have 3 versions of Bootskins, have you tried all three? Also remember support is out on Holiday time off untill after the 1st.

Here is the offical answer for Bootskins we keep around in support.

BootSkin is unfortunately not supported. If the version you're currently using does not work for you and you've tried reinstalling, please try one of the other versions available at http://bootskin.com If none of these versions are compatible with your system, we apologize, but you will not be able to run BootSkin.

Sorry for the trouble.
