Broken Blinds

Thursday, April 27, 2006 by Frankief | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I downloaded and installed the newest fix for the bad Windows update and after reboot, my Window Blinds would not load. I had to do a system restore to get my Window Blinds to load and apply. Have a bonafided purchased copy of WB5.Anyone else have this issue?

I haven't had that problem (yet - this year)


Do you have Stardock Central the browser,download manager, etc?


If not go get it: https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/


Try uninstalling WB, reboot, download and install SDC, register product(s), then use SDC to download & install WB.


If you're using SDC already, try: use SDC to uninstall WB, reboot, reinstall via SDC

I think I may have the same issue... or something similar. The only other change to my laptop this week was that I gave the IE7 beta a try... it never loaded properly and unistalled it about an hour later. I turned on the laptop the next day and no WB5. I've uninstalled WB5 using SD Central. I've been using SD and WB for years and the subscription is good so I'm a little lost here. Any help would be appreciated. I'd forgotten how unpleasent an unmodded ui is.
