This is what it says......
Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 1
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 1
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.50 (build 100 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 Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

PLEASE report all this information when submitting a problem report. We don't know what's in that Dell you bought last July. Per-pixel skinning requires your hardware has WDDM drivers and a graphics experience score of at least 2

The "shareware" version has a time limit. After this time period you will only be able to use the XP OS skins.

This sounds very similar to the problem I posted regarding Windowblinds 5.51, though I'm running Windows XP.
I can start Windowblinds 5.51 manually and chose a skin. Everything is fine until I reboot. Windowblinds won't start after a re-boot and Windows defaults to classic mode.
I've reverted back to verson 5.50 until I figure what's going on. The only way to revert back was to restore from a back-up. Unisntalling 5.51 and re-installing 5.50 did not eliminate the problem casued by the 5.51 installation.

I have this happen to me also on my winxp machine and I have several dozen different themes downloaded & installed from other wc authors along with my own. Windowblinds works properly for the most part as I can go through my list of wb skins and apply any showing up in my list, however there are those rare instances when I download a skin from the site and attempt to apply it after downloading it and it appears to go through the process of applying the skin but when it's done I end up in classic mode and I have to go into wb config and apply another skin to verify that wb is working properly.
The last time this happened was with Vienna XP by vStyler, I know the skin works properly but I accidentally turfed the skin from my collection recently and went to download it again after which I applied it and presto chango, Windows Classic - wooo hooo!!! (obviously I wasn't as happy as this, instead of wooo hooo it was more like WTF?!)

Hello Rob -
We chatted some by e-mail regarding you skins. Been a few months and since I'm incognito here, you might not recognize me
Are you running WB 5.51? The problem we're seeing did not start on my system until I installed 5.51. Unisntalling 5.51 and re-installing 5.50 did not fix the problem. I had to recover the old version by restoring from a back-up.
I've never had a problem with a SD application before so am very interested in finding out what's happening. It may be skin specific and related to the new code, hence so few users are posting about it.

After the trial period has expired and you wish to continue using windowblinds skins, you will need to buy the WindowBlinds program.

I spoke with Stardock Tech Support about this issue twice this week and the individual I spoke with was unaware of this problem nor a solution. From his response I assumed the problem was specific to my set-up. I no longer believe this.
I believe the problem is rooted in the changes made to WB 5.51. The problem occurs with both Vista and XP. Not everyone's set-up is susceptible to this problem. If it were, the forum would be busting at the seams.
The changes that WB 5.51 makes during installation are not reversed by the program's uninstall utility. That leads me to believe the change is rooted in the registry or by a file copied on the hard drive and not removed during the uninstall. Uninstalling 5.51 and re-installing 5.50 did not reverse the problem for me. Others may be more lucky.
Stardock Tech Support suggested I post on the forum in hope one of the more technically savvy posters would have a solution. I'm still hopeful that will occur. In the meantime, I agree with the poster who recommended contacting Stardock Tech Support. Best chance to find a solution is to provide more data to the developer.

Don't think so.
Don't think folks might be having a problem with WB 5.51? Why because you're not experiencing any issues?
