WB7 stops working - Apply Changes doesn't work

Installed WB7 after uninstalling demo version.
All worked as expected.

While WB7 running I used Control Panel to change the Desktop color (only that value - nothing else). Did that as I couldn't see how to set just a plain color in WB7 (I'm sure there a way - I just couldn't see it).
Now the problems starts.

At next boot WB7 seemed to work (could scroll across skins and options etc), but when click "Apply changes" nothing happened.
Clicked "About WB7" and got this msg(***):-

Did you install any anti malware software by any chance?

I would uninstall using Impulse, run a cleanup program like CCleaner and then reboot and reinstall using Impulse.  Also look at Neil's reply.

If that doesn't clear it up then you should probably email [email protected] and start a ticket.
