MAJOR SKINS PROBLEM

Sunday, April 16, 2006 by One Hun | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Windowblinds and skin downloads not working. When I apply changes, color changes but the look remains windows classic style instead of changing complete texture. What's wrong?

1. open WB configuration, click system info on the left and copy/paste the information here

2. what's your operating system?

3. when you click to download, what file type downloads?

4. what browser are you downloading with? using open with? or save as?

Skins worked before I reformatted. I'm thinking I'm missing some sort of program maybe?

sometimes the zip is not the right extension

when the zip downloads, right click and explore inside - if there is no .wba in it then change .zip to .wba and double click it

sometimes a zip is a zip (like when other goodies are included)

if there is a .wba inside, then extract the zip and double click the .wba

Your dates and times don't match mine (for paid version - WB 5.01.006 aka wb5(5.01(build 62x86))

is that a trial version you're using? is so, it's possible the times up.

Didn't mean to b rude Sir Bichur. Had to leave yesterday. Got skins to work. Having trouble with the player in the Musical DX theme though. widgets won't play my music files. Only looks for playlists but won't play mp.3's. Know anything about it?
