Problem with applying skins in WB 5.5
Friday, July 6, 2007 by Marvi | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi,
I've just installed WB 5.5 and while I can apply Classic or Aero skins, I can't apply any other skins -- if I do, it goes back to Classic for some reason.
I took a look at another post which had the same problem, but couldn't find a solution as it seemed like my graphics card was okay.
I have Vista Business. Here is the system info I copied from WB:
Thanks for any help.

Ah, Stardock Central doesn't seem to list Vista as one of its system requirements...I'm not sure if it is Vista compatible. A previous poster had the same problem with WB 5.51 as well, I think.

I believe SDC is Vista compatible - my list of available apps showing in SDC include those that only work on Vista
