After uninstalling and reinstalling WB5, the problem persists. I'm getting this odd pruple backgroud along top of one of my vista skins. It's also the background of the file menus in the explorer windows. what did I do?

What skin is it?
If it doesn't do so with your other skins, then it might be a problem with the skin, not with your computer or WB5.
