Please Help. Very Frustrated.

Need Help Please

Wednesday, October 10, 2007 by JoshieBoy | Discussion: New Users

Hey guys,
If anyone can help me, I would REALLY appreciate it. I have window blinds version 5.5. And for some reason, no matter what theme I select, it just applies the "windows classic" theme. I don't know why this is happening but it is very frustrating. If anyone knows how to fix this. Please help. Thanks in advance.

-Josh

Hmm...I don't know where it is.
My friend got it for me. He told me he was gonna get me this program. But neither of us can get it to work. Thats all I know.

Yes, what you are missing is that you are more than probably not using a valid version of the software. Where did your friend get it from?

Hmm, that kind of sucks. He has this program, he told me I could use it. I don't know much about computers. He just gave me a link to this forum if I had any problems.

Uninstall it from your machine, than go to Stardock.com. There you can find a trial version of WindowBlinds or you can purchase it.

I suggest you try the trial version first. If you like what it does you can either purchase just WindowBlinds or Object Desktop, which would be the better value for your money.

Try it, you'll like it.

Well, I have a MAC OS X Tiger theme. Thats what I want my comp to look like. Will the Object Desktop thing work to do that also?

ObjectDesktop is a collection of the skinning programs which includes WindowBlinds. ObjectDesktop

There are many components in the WC galleries that can mimic parts of OS X Tiger.  Poke around the galleries.

Take a look at this (older) article on How to Make Windows Look Like a Mac

Don't forget to slap your friend a bit. He put you in a very bad position.
