| But like I said, I'm not going to lose sleep over a slight issue like this one |
Did you update WB, though. It should be...5.01(73x86)

| well i uninstalled stylexp. then i restarted. i did not think stylexp would be a problem. |
It will definitely cause you problems.
Windowblinds is a legitimate program designed specifically to function with a Genuine Windows install.
StyleXP patches/loads a modified library dll that is NOT specifically approved/endorsed by the OS Manufacturer and thus has the potential to mess with anything/everything a user then tries to do.
It is arguably as sensible as running a cracked ver of WinXP and then scratching your head in confusion when SP2, etc spits a dummy claiming the OS install is not 'valid'.
Every time you alter required system files you MUST expect a potential for conflicts and/or failures.
If you now have Windowblinds installed...stick with that. It's developer [Stardock] is a Microsoft 'Partner' and thus approaches the process of GUI design/alteration/adoption in a properly approved fashion...
