oversized start buttons in wb skins require wb5 or better if I'm not mistaken,
verify that you are using the correct version of windowblinds (v5 or higher).
Also, I have noticed on wb skins using oversized start buttons (vista globe logo for example), that sometimes resizing the taskbar up & down will refresh the start button and make it appear properly.
What would help is if we had link to the skin you're using so that we can verify if it works properl or not, also the version of windowblinds you're using (trialware or full version and which version you're using) and also if you open up windowblinds configuration, click on the view system information link and copy & paste the data into a reply back so that we can verify your wb config info. Here is an example from one of my machines:
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.5 (build 86 x86))
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

Hey unclerob, the odd time this happens I find that just clicking on the taskbar will correct oversized start button.

actually it's probably not working correctly because not all of the 3 files you were willing to post match the files from 5.1 trial/standalone or released via SDC.

As per Sir Bichur (heavy on the "Sir" 
) I think your problem is related to some missing files, why would you have an incomplete set of wb files? I wonder if this happens when the wb trial expires, it deletes a few of the critical files required for wb skins to appear properly?
Cavan I will definitely try that out, I never thought about doing that - I learn something new everyday in these forums.
Boss, I had to do a double take to read the extra words that Johnny Depp included with your wb config info. ..."Squawk, Polly want a current version of windowblinds? Squawk!"
