Ah.. All the MSN changes, you said. Probably created some conflict with WB. You said it was working fine before that. I had a similar problem with AOL v9. So, I went back to v8. I would try a reinstall of WB. Maybe that will fix it. But, you do need to be explain your problem more clear.

Some people have also complained about WB 4.2Beta. Most computer users know that you have to be careful when installing beta programs. More experienced computer users will probably prefer to wait for a final version. As the slogan goes "if it ain't broke, why fix it?
Also, there are sometimes loses as well as gains when updating one program that uses another. Then, you have to decide if the loss is worth the gain. But, you have to explain more clear still. What isn't being skinned properly? MSN? Maybe the .cpl file got corrupted. If the problem is that the control panel isn't showing the newly installed skins after all your updates to other programs. Then once again, I would suggest a reinstall of WB. If that doesn't work, I would uninstall it, restart, wipe its directory and reinstall.
