Hi, Pewee. Let me ask the usual questions:
What operating system are you using?
What version of WindowBlinds?
What skins did you download?

We weren't ignoring you, just didn't see the post.
Oh, welcome to WinCustomize.

Ok, I just wanted to say also that I uninstalled windows blinds and everything and deleted all the skins, and then reinstalled it, still dont work, PLUS the ones that worked before dont either, i dont know where they go when I download them some temporary file, instead of the control panel... HELP

Try downloading the skins again by right-clicking on the download link and select "save target as" then download it to your desktop. After the download is done, install the skin from the Display Properties/Appearance dialog by clicking on "add" and selecting the skin file on your desktop...
