Also, keep in mind that after you rename it you have to double click on the renamed file and it will automaticly install the skin. Then you can delete the renamed file.

belinda wallis, try this. I found this post on another category and it seems to be working. "If the skin you are downloading was uploaded incorrectly, it will crash Windowblinds. What happens is they put the .WBA inside a ZIP, then upload the ZIP. The server then renames the ZIP to .WBA and what you end up with is a WBA inside a WBA and it will crash wbload.exe. Try save the skin to disk, then rename .wba to .zip."

I too am having the same problem as belinda wallis. Before reading this post I uninstalled and reinstalled Window Blinds thinking the problem was me. I have also gotten message saying "This file does not contain a .uis file. Are you sure it is a Window Blinds skin?" Other times I get the error with the error report and have only gotten one skin to install and it was Doublet. Is this due to changes being made?

I wanted to Thank You both for trying to help me. I have fixed my WindowBlinds problem finally. I uninstalled, again, but this time through Add/Remove programs instead of the Component Manager. Then reinstalled using the Component Manager. I don't know what the confict was, but it appears to be working now. Thanks Again!!!

I am using the latest version. The one that was just released a few days ago. I thought maybe the problem was that it was not set to load on startup, but I could not find where to change that option. I also tried the suggestion by risblaque and it did not work.

Just got the new version of WindowBlinds. Also tried the new Desktop X. This was the first ever try with Desktop X, and I decided I did not want it so I uninstalled it. Now when I restart my computer, WindowBlinds will not load on startup. When I check the Display settings it shows the skin I was using as being selected, but I have to reselect the skin then apply it again for it to work. But then when I restart my computer, it's back to the plain Windows Classic skin, but it still shows the Wind
