Hmm, it does seem that this post grew quiet. However, I also have the issue with classic skin appearing after reboot. However, it doesn't happen every time! Windows 7 64, I log on with user name and pass, and I must use Windowblinds to revert to 'Aero' in order to re-apply a Windowblinds skin when it does occur. This morning, the PC booted correctly, with skin installed. Its just a roll of the dice it seems. LOL

tinbin,

Same here, Beta was working good for about a week then all hell broke loose, crashed and couldn't get it to work again. Reinstalled non-beta.

It sounds like you didn't update to the newer build of WB which resolved the login issues.

Neil,

The error message I kept getting with beta was "Configuration Application failed to load".
I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times but it just wouldn't work.
