Windowblinds HANGS
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 by Jey_son | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I just installed the trial copy of WB5.01. When I apply a skin my computer freezes in the "Please Wait" mode... and all i can access is the Task Manager to restart. This happens occasionally on the first "apply skin" but it always does when I apply skins the second or third time. Also when it does apply the taskbar's background (I have translucent taskbar) starts black after my pc's start-up, im gonna have to refresh the desktop to make it translucent again. Weird aint it? unless the trial copy from Downloads.com is cracked... Sorry just a thought.

Per-pixel skins included with the trial will work, but others will not.
Test first that it is not a third-party skin that is causing the issue.....try one of the included ones....

yeah. In task manager i noticed screen.exe is eating up the memory... Actually when i end that process the "please wait" dialog disappears. Although the PC is still at Frozen state. The error happens on any skin i download except the ones preinstalled in WB trial. The taskbar prob is no big deal since its just a refresh away but the reboot is just troublesome. Hope this bug isnt in Full version...

It's not a bug. It's a trial version limitation.
The Full/purchased version will work with all Per-pixel skins, included and otherwise...

clicking on the desktop 5-10 seconds after it starts loading forces screen.exe to close and the skin will load.
