I have had that problem on occassion. I guessed it had something to do with RAM. Are you running the latest WB?

I did ask that question to the lead programmer (Neil Banfield) of WB a few minutes ago on IRC. This is what he told me:

(MadIce): Is StartMenu skinning included in the shareware version of WB?
(WBlinds): yes
(MadIce): What if it does not work?
(MadIce): Any suggestions?
(WBlinds): usually that means one of 2 things
(WBlinds): 1) the skin does not include those images
(WBlinds): or
(WBlinds): 2) there is a glitch and you need to reboot
(MadIce): OK. Thanks.

How much free RAM do you usually hav? Try closing open programs (after you download the skin, shut your browser and music and stuffs like that) and then try and load the skin. Just for an experiment. I used to have that sometimes but I haven't since I got more RAM. I don't have shareware.
