If you mean windowblinds 5 ...then no, it won't work with a shared graphics card.
The new features of windowblinds 5 require that you have a fairly powerful and also fairly recent card.

no you can use onboard graphics it just wont support per-pix alpha blending in other words the transparent borders on IE and W/EXPLOROER will appear gray or black instead of clear i have SG3 pro onboard graphics and i have no problems WB5 except for the borders on explorer like i described above i do suggest you download the newest drivers for your onboard graphics chips/card

if you are talking to me yes i am, the only problem i have with WB5 and my OB graphics is the alph-blending on the vista skin IE borders outside of that WB5 works great on my machine

It works on on board cards (both my work PCs are integrated).
My first suggestion would be to uninstall WB, reboot then reinstall. Most likely the problem is with a corrupted install. I can assume that you had to uninstall drivers and so forth, and something may have gotten messed up in the process.
