Multiple Problems

Saturday, June 3, 2006 by ryan241 | Discussion: WindowBlinds

First here's my info report:
WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV~ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have one monitor in total.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT

Wblind.dll 2006/03/21 13:33:46
Wbsrv.dll 2006/03/17 11:16:44
Wbconfig.exe 2006/03/19 14:33:44
Wbload.exe 2006/03/13 17:54:12
Wbhelp.dll 2004/09/18 16:37:00
Wbui.dll 2005/12/06 21:29:06
Tray.dll 2005/11/02 13:28:26


My computer:
AMD 64 X2 3800+
DFI nF4 SLI-DR
2 - GeForce 6600GT
1 Gig RAM
Windows X64


First, the appearance tab under display properties is not updating when new skins are installed. It only shows the skins from when Windownlinds is first installed.
Second, almost every skin does not apply the windows color scheme properly. For example I use StealthOS and have to change selected items and tooltip myself whenever Windows is rebooted.
Third, my computer often hangs when changing skins. From what I've read that seems to be a common problem with Windows X64.

My drivers are up to date, I've reinstalled multiple times, and I'm out of ideas. Thanks for any help.

which full version number is that from?

most of the dates/times are current with mine (newest beta) but some aren't in the history list.

and shouldn't you have xxxxx64.dll in there somewhere?

According to stardock central I have 5.01.006. I did try the latest beta to see if it would fix my problems but it didn't so I went back to the current one.

I have no idea about the dll...

this was from the final release:

12/06/05 21:29 wbui.dll
2/05/06 12:58 WbSrv.dll

3/20/06 10:54 wblind.dll
3/20/06 10:59 wblind64.dll

check the bold against yours

These are what mine are:
2/05/06 12:58 176,128 WbSrv.dll
3/21/06 13:33 522,330 wblind.dll
3/21/06 13:34 727,040 wblind64.dll

Crap I forgot to mention I didn't have the problems till this release. The previous release (which I didn't archive) worked fine.

but that's not what came up when you clicked system information in WB configure.

I don't have a lot of technical knowledge, but I have learned that a lot times if things don't match, things down't work as they should.

you might want to consider uninstalling/rebooting and starting over with a fresh download.

Well i've tried zapper it does the same thing. The wbsvr file doesn't match everytime. I made sure that everything was gone before installing again and it is. This is weird...
