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

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.

I found an older version (5.0) on my computer, everything is working fine with this release. It's seems something got messed up from 5.01 and on.
