Theme Manager has problem?

Here's what happened...others have problems the same.

Okay, here is what I had to do to get a suite applied:

1. I "applied" suite, in this case "AlienMorph".
2. When the balloon came up in my system tray, I clicked it...all hell breaks loose on my desktop, corruption everywhere, windows explorer gives me an error report, dr watson gives me an error report.
3. CTRL+ALT+delete
4. Clicked on "processes"
5. Highlighted "explorer.exe"
6. Clicked on "end process"
7. Confirmation window...clicked "yes, I am sure I want to close this"
8. Press ALT+F, File drop box...
9. Clicked on "new task.."
10. Typed "explorer.exe"
11. hit enter.
12. Double-clicked WBConfig in system tray...
13. Had Classic applied...chose "AlienMorph" and "apply this skin"
all portions of the suite are applied. Don't know what the heck exlporer and dr.watson had to do with all this, but it worked this way. I hope one of the developers reads this.

Do not click the balloon. Use OD Launchpad.

I don't even use ThemeManager...Three threads have problems with it, then I tried to replicate the problems, which only took one application of a theme to do. I have the latest updates to all software in OD that I use. I'm jsut trying to get someone else some help, but they've already stated that they are uninstalling the software because it doesn't do anything but apply the "Classic" skin in WB. How does that have to do with the OD Launchpad?

Took a chance and used TM, which I don't use at all anymore. No problem loading a WB or a suite. Except that Copperdeck doesn't show at all in the would you like to load this suite window. TM shows all the components I have under the applications and will apply them individually but not as a suite. WB5 and the last update to TM.
