SkinStudio XP Question

Hey everyone, I'm creating a Windowblinds skin with Skinstudio XP. I had the entire taskbar/start panel completely skinned and working, and I started working on the windows. One of the times that I reloaded the skin to see how it looks the taskbar graphic just decided not to show up. It works fine along the start button and the custom toolbars (quicklaunch, etc.), but once it hits the taskbuttons the image just stops. It worked fine for a while, and I didn't mess any settings, it just stopped loading. I verified the image path sever times, checked the attributes for it, it just doesn't wanna work. Also at the same time the taskbar arrow decided not to load as well. I just have a little blank where it should be. Attempts at reloading windowblinds, the skin, and restarting my computer were all futile. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks! I'm on a deadline for this skin so any quick help would be really appreciated!
