WindowBlinds unloads on startup

Sunday, April 22, 2007 by FMP8 | Discussion:

Hello everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating problem here when my Vista machine boots up WindowBlinds decides to unload itself. Anyone else have this issue and/or know how to fix it?

I've reinstalled it a few times. Twice through SD Central and once from ftp. Be it a cold boot or soft boot - it always give the same result.

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 3.1

Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 3.6

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.50 (build 102 x86 - Vista Edition))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)

OMG! No one else has this problem? Well, I guess I'll just have to keep reloading after it unloads then.

when you uninstalled windowblinds did you remove all traces of it from the registry?
try uninstalling it again, running your favourite registry cleaner to remove all traces of the program, delete any folders relating to windowblinds, and then reinstalling the program, hopefully this might work for you, good luck

Thanks Nimbin. Follow your suggestion and all is good now. I did have the option "Launch folder windows in a separate process" checked. I unchecked that too.

Best regards,
Mike
