Serious Vista x64 issues
Monday, June 25, 2007 by Astyanax | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I'm having some pretty strange problems with Iconpackager and Windowblinds on Vista x64.
For instance when I apply a skin through Windowblinds, once its applied my system tray icons change from 16 pixels to 32 pixels.
In iconpackager when I apply a theme many of my desktop Icons are not changed along with numerious other ones. When I go to apply the default theme my secondary hard disk icon is Windows XP's hard drive icon.
Other than that, AWESOME!

WinBlind 64-bit now working , but crashes
at boot up most of the time , causing re-boot
soooooooooo far it finally catches on and eventually boots,
once it boots all seems to be OK , ummmmm
has added some lagging though on some things
..Icons for 64bit not working yet for me
got Vista Ultimate 64bit

Azdude, are the event logs capturing any information that might be useful when WB crashes?
It might prove useful to send those to [email protected] or using the form at
https://www.stardock.helpserve.com/index.php to upload the log files.

AzDude, that might be useful . .but if an app crashes in Vista (or XP) Vista captures how it crashed.
Start | paste '%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s" (without the quotes) in the Search window and hit [enter]
Open up the Windows folder and the application folder. Do you see anything with a exclamation point in a red circle in front of it? Look in the System folder too.
If you see anything that was caused by Windowblinds (look in the details below the error list) copy them out and paste them into your ticket.
For real ease, you can set up some filters on what you find and export the results as one file (using the Action buttons to the right of the event list) and attach it.
Please note . . everytime you add somethin to your case, it goes to the bottom of the queue. You don't want to update too often.
The viewer should look something like this:

According to the History-file, IconPackager is not yet cleared for Vista64 (not even in Beta, unless I missed something...)
....I guess we have to be a bit more patient, sigh.....

Doesn't x64 mean any 64-bit system? I always thought that in this case this refers to XP64 and not Vista64. The IP-Homepage still says Vista 32bit only?
In any case, I noticed that the History-file on SDC isn't up to date. It still shows the changes in 3.19g RC instead of 3.20.128.....
