Outlook display messed - any ideas?

(1/1)

m_s:
I've just run Outlook for the first time on my clean XP install.  Everything is up-to-date, but my screen is messed as in screenshot.  Before running, I installed MS Visual Studio 2005 Runtime Engine, Outlook 2003 PIA, and RemoteCalendars - the first two both are prerequisites for the third, which allows you to load iCal format into Outlook.  I wondered if it might be a case of WindowBlinds messing things up, but excluding Outlook from WindowBlinds makes no difference.  Any ideas? 

(PS. Screenshot taken with the sweet - but not nearly as powerful as ScreenshotCaptor! - ScreenJot (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/04/03/capture-arbitrary-parts-of-the-screen-with-screenjot/), then converted from BMP to PNG with the brilliant built-in image converter in DOpus.)

m_s:
Now I'm very confused - completely removed the three add-ins I had installed, but Outlook still looks the same!  Then reinstalled Outlook and updated graphics drivers, but still exactly the same...

noth(a)nk.you:
Have you tried unloading Windowblinds?  They seem to have been having some problems.  (And some users report legal copies broken with the same symptoms.)

m_s:
Bingo!  It worked when I unloaded WindowBlinds (mine is a legit copy, btw)...  Reloaded WB, and it doesn't work again.  Any ideas for a workaround, or just wait for new version of WB?

m_s:
Ah, changed skin and it works again!
