Booted today a.m. and no problem! Could it be that the prob. only occurs on "restart" and not on "shut down" then a later "start" from the power-on switch? I'm going to try both of these now and get back with the results (if my short-term memory will comply...)
certain skins that came with WB6 aren't available for separate download. My situation exactly. Stand by. Admins. are working to find the prob. even as we post.
Daiwa, Thanks a bunch! Running out the door at the moment... snow's loading tree branches over the house & I've got to deal w/that first.. where's the rest of summer!!
Nah... This is reboot today: ... <img src="http://i55.pho
One can only hope. This is at reboot today... [grumble...uninstall LEXAN, reinstall LEXAN...back in business...'til...?]
Cool, though perhaps WindowBlinds will also go back to V5 where there was no problem
So, my shutdown process is, for now, open wbconfig, choose a lesser-used skin to render incomplete, apply it, shut down. Upon reboot, there's the theme, sans skinned taskbar and start menu...'til I delete/reinstall that theme... ...open wbconfig, choose skin I wanted to save all along, apply it, and try not to have to shutdown or reboot. If necessary, repeat process. I'll wager I go fuzzy in the crumpet about the third time I have to do this, and revert to good ol' WB5.51 ... for me

The alternative, I fear, could be harsh.
I've got a copy of WB6 for sale. Cheap. Wonky on my PC. Back to 5.51, I guess
camping out at the Hospital been there before Congratulations. All of you get lots of rest.
C'est vrai, mon ami. Bon chance.
Yes, neophil, we've caught a bug, no doubt. If I uninstall WB6 and go back to 5.51 is the only thing I know to do. If I do that, all is well. And yes, this issue is in no way "skin-specific". All themes behave the same for me under WB6. Sta
Boot Shot next day (today), Oct 5 >WBconfig>switch skins>delete Odyssey>"Add new visual styles">Odyssey...[now taskbar and start panel show in preview]...Apply>...[waits for next hiccup or reboot...waits... shhhh h h ]
boot shot...
Meesa go to sleep now. Gnarl it over again in the a.m. Ta.
Will now reboot and see what I get. got this: "Refresh skin list" had no result this time, as far as making Odyssey taskbar appear in wbconfig.... Will reinstall Odyssey now, cross my fingers, have some pie and find my blankie. Try again manana.
Thanks, Bilbo! Tried Rebuild Skin List and nada, zip, nothing. Dunno what's happening. Currently showing Odyssey as my theme in use, as I look at the desktop. Just tried Rebuild Skin List and Odyssey popped into wbconfig again, taskbar and all. Went from above screenshot to normal wbconfig preview pane. Selected it and Odyssey reapplied per usual. Will now reboot and see what I get.
Nope... still wonky, darn it: POST HERE
Ohh Kay... Just rebooted and no skinned taskbar, no skinned start menu, no taskbar showing in wbconfig. Opened Theme Mgr/Visual Styles, selected Odyssey.wba, and skin installed correctly. However, even tho taskbar and start menu are now skinned, there's still no taskbar visible in the preview pane of wbconfig, and selecting that to install results in an unskinned taskbar and start menu. Now going to Theme Mgr. and install Odyssey via TM again. Puzzling, eh? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/
Just booted up since yesterday. Still A.O.K. ...
and never change skin Just because I'm running Odyssey now for the testing, right?
Did you mean "anti" spyware apps? Wondering about that m'self, as I've had gremlins mucking about in my WB6, too, and they need exterminated! So far, I've set winamp not to run at startup, and that fixed it for now. Try going to "msconfig" and startup and disabling things that run at startup that aren't needed and see what happens. Worked for me. Thanks, Neil and Mike!
