WB5: Skin returns to windows classic after reboot

Just purchased and installed Windowblinds 5.

Everything works great, apart from the fact that when I reboot, my skin is forgotton and the windows classic style appears. I have to start Windowblinds, re-apply my skin and everything works fine again... until the next reboot.

Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Many thanks,

Paul

Do you have panda internet security/AV installed?

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the reply.
No, never had panda installed, I'm in the McAfee AV camp.

Hi Paul,

I had the same problem, here is how I fixed it. I enabled the windows theme service. I disabled it at first because I read somewhere, either it was on this forum or on wincustomize that if you disable the windows theme service, WB5 would take up less resources. After I installed WB5, I rebooted, disabled the theme service and then rebooted again. I then applied a skin and it worked and I was happy untill I rebooted. It went back to the windows classic theme. I re-enabled the windows theme service and now everything is working just fine. Sorry for the long winded post! I hope it helps!
