Nothing works?? Help!
Thursday, August 23, 2007 by dredude | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Ok so here's my story.
I buy/install WB. It works perfectly. A few months later I install Vista Transformation Pack. More months later (ie. 45 minutes ago) I uninstall VTP. My theme changes back to the default Luna. (Also on an unrelated note, my C: drive icon got lost somewhere in the process.) I start up WindowBlinds for the first time in ages, and try to set my theme to VistaXP (Yes, I just uninstalled VTP, I have my reasons) but strangely, nothing happens. Still same background. Still same Luna. Of course I can change the background in the properties, but why won't the stupid theme change? It's making me quite angry. I'm trying to do this without a System Restore or reinstalling my XP but frankly, things aren't looking so good.

See, that's a problem because I have no clue when I installed it, but I'm sute it's been quite a long time. I'll search the forums now.
@#187 on the right: It got rid of Luna... but now Windows Classic is locked as my theme.
When I 'Apply this theme now' I see the start button flash for a split second and then nothing changes.
Edit: After a search of 'Vista Transformation Pack', I got 1 result. That had nothing to do with a problem.
Edit2: I don't know exaclty how, but I rebooted 5-10 times and everything was finally back to normal! Now the only minor problem I have is that the maximized window size goes past my taskbar =\ (I'm using the 2-line taskbar)

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on View my system information. Copy/paste that info here.

dredude I would do what Hankers suggests, someone may see that you have a bad download.
I think what you looking at in your Edit2 and screenshot can be taken care of with an adjustment with you graphis card software. I have a Nvidia card and it's software lets me adjust the screen left, right, up and down. If you don't have an icon in you task bar for you graphics software use properties, click settings than click advanced and click you graphics card.
If I'm not right, someone will correct me.
