Help with Windowblinds

I am using windows xp sp2. I have version 4.2 and I have also tried (do not have) version 4.4. I think the taskbar is the thing at the bottom with the start button?

Whenever I click apply skin now it just make the top part of a window that skin and it turns the taskbar into classic mode (grey old school windows).
 
Yes, your terminology is correct. "Taskbar" is the bottom bar with the Start button, Quick Launch, open programs (or tasks ... hence the name), and "system notification area" (formerly "System Tray").

I use WindowBlinds 4.2. My first thought is for you to try restarting your computer. I think that I've had this problem before, and that was my solution. Also check the User Overrides and Basic settings to make sure everything "looks okay."

What skin are you using? Maybe that's the problem. I've been using "Fred" because it was cool but neutral enough for my graphic design work. Now I'm using the included ChristmasTime just to be festive.
 
First off, what skin are you using?

Under Basic Settings, ensure that everthing is checked.

In User Overrides, ensure that nothing under XP Overrrides is checked.

Apply the changes.
 
Same problem.

None of the accompanied skins work. I mean the window borders change but the taskbar goes to classic.

Tried reboot, but no help.

WXP SP2
