Windowblinds

Wednesday, March 21, 2007 by BR7 | Discussion: Stardock Support General

I downloaded Windowblinds to change the skins on my PC after that was done and installed I restarted my PC as suggested by the program.Next I opened up WB to change the skin and nothing happens the most that happens is that my clock looks different but the rest is the same old XP style.Can someone tell me how to fix this
Thanks

If you had a previous "trial" period WindowBlinds installed the time limit has probably run out.  Installing the newest WB 5.5 shareware (trial) version does not reset the time 60 day trial period.

Curious as your profile indicates that you have been a member since Jun 8, 2005. If you had any previous version of WB5 installed then the time limit has more than likely run out and that is why it is not skinning.

Could you run this file:

and post the output.log file generated on your desktop here?

just wondering maybe you've turned off all of the eye candy in windows xp and are just running in windows classic mode (simple windows gui, max performance, etc.) - that would probably stop your wb's from being applied properly. It's worth checking.
