After windowblinds lost my Vista Aero theme

from Stardock Forums
I have windowblinds 6 and am running Vista home premium.
After I looked at a few different skins, I unloaded windowblinds and tried to go back to my Aero theme. However it is no longer listed as a theme....only Vista basic.
It somehow blew out my Aero choice, and windowblinds in not running.

Any ideas how to get back Aero. I even ran service.msc to make sure themes are loaded.

Could you paste your System info here from the WB Config dialog?

Do you have DWM loaded from services.msc by any chance?

I had the same problem. I just loaded the Vista Basic that was shown and it applied Aero.

Not sure why, but it worked.

Yeah that worked the first time but after I tried some more new skins, Aero whould not come back.
