Problems with WindowBlinds
Sunday, April 23, 2006 by mladjai | Discussion: WindowBlinds
On my old 366 Mhz Celeron (graphic card GeForce2 MX400), on WinXPSP2 i've used WindowBlinds 4.5, and it worked perfectly. Now i buyed a new machine, Sempron 3000+, 512 MB RAM, nVidia nx6600GT 128MB, and - Windows Blinds skinne everything but taskbar. Taskbar it changes to Windows Classic, and nothing i do in the settings, did not help. Simly, i cannot change the taskbar look. So, i decided to buy WindowBlinds 5 Enhanced, so i did. I unloaded and deinstalled the old version of program, and installed the new version, during installation there was no problems, main window (of the program) is showed-up, i sellected the skin, clicked on "apply" button, and my computer was blocked; manually i rebooted machine, and runn program again; program was running too-damn-slowly, my whole new machine was unusable. Taskbar is now changed, but everything is black. When i unload WindowBlinds, everything works normaly. I'm not a begginer, i'm system administrator, so i have experience with computers by years, so problem is not because of me. Reinstall of program did not help. What is going on, can i solve this problem in some way, or i must asking my money back??
Sorry because my bad English

Try the 77.77 drivers as long as your not a big gamer. Small gamer you will be fine. There has been reported problems with the 6600 series and the latest drivers.

Like i said: first i installed 4.5 version, and that was working, but could not skinning taskbar. So, i uninstalled that version. Then, i downloaded WindowBlins Enhanced 5, installed, and the activation window was opened, so i activated the program, rebooted machine, and launched application, but it cannot skin my Windows at all 
What the problems are, i wroted on previous posts. That's it

did you download and install the enhanced as a stand a lone, or via SDC?
If via SDC, did you register WB prior to the download and install?
