[Solved] Static Skindigo GUI

Hi,
I recently Installed Sketchup 8 on my Windows 7 64bit machine.
To begin with (If I remember correctly...) everything was fine.
However, now for some reason the Skindigo Gui is messed up.
For the settings window:
All the settings are on one page, which extends far off screen.
Clicking on the individual items on the left has no effect.
Clicking on any setting has no effect.
The material window:
Displays material "Foo"
Nothing is responsive.
Default values are all "Foo"
Could this be because Sketchup 8 has slightlty changed some ruby stuff?
Installing different versions of Skindigo with no success.
What can I do?
Thanks for any help.

I have installed
- Sketchup 8.0.4811 (free)
- Indigo 2.6.1 (64 bit)
- Skindigo 2.6.1
- on Win7 64 machine
and everything is working correctly. So I don't think it's a ruby problem.

While it may not be a ruby problem, the contents of the ruby console (Window -> Ruby Console) still are of interest in analyzing the problem.

Nothing in the Ruby Console...
This is very weird. It happens on SU 7 also (with older versions of skindigo too)
I wonder what I have done...

Well,
Seeing that the Settings.html file works fine in the browser, I started thinking that maybe I should turn IE8 back on.
Didn't help.
Anyway, here is what it looks like:

Are there supposed to be any registry settings under:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\SkIndigo"
or:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\SkIndigoDefaults"
?
Mine are blank on install and after a run.

Try resetting your IE settings to the defaults and let me know if that fixes it.
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced

Should there be registry settings after install?
What are they?
(Can someone be kind and export them as a .reg for me?)

Still no luck uninstalling, deleting plugins folder, rebooting, installing, uninstalling applications, rinsing, repeating.
Any clues or tips on what might be causing this behaviour?

Awesome, Solved.
I was having other weird issues along with the posted problem:
The Services panel brought up an error everytime i check the services"
One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either...
Searching that problem produced this helpful page:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/For ... b8dba7b000
In short it explains to:
delete 1 extra (parasite) zone from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\
with pseudo-graphic number, you'll see it before zone number 0.
It seems this is a bug of Adobe flash player update, though I am not sure.
I guess when I installed CS5 it maybe updated the flash player along with it to produce this confusing error.
Sorry Skindigo, I won't loose faith in you again.
