WindowBlinds 6 crash on XP SP2
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 by Victek | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I'm using the latest registered version of WB 6 on XP SP2 and lately when I change skins I get a memory exception error in Winlogon.exe which forces the system to reboot (the skins do apply properly). When I first upgraded from WB 5 to WB 6 this didn't happen, but it's not clear what has changed. I ran Check Disk (with sector recovery), Disk Cleanup and Defrag - no joy. The system is generally stable apart from this. I use PC Tools Firewall Plus v3, AVG AV, Spyware Terminator and Winpatrol. Suggestions appreciated

I disabled the service, rebooted the computer, ran services.msc again to confirm that the service was not running and changed my WB skin. The problem remains - the skin is applied just fine, then right at the end the winlogon.exe exception pops up.

if yrags' idea doesn't help, try this:
start/run - type "services.msc" (no quotes), right-click on "NVIDIA display driver services" and select properties. In the 'startup type' box, select "disabled. Then restart your PC. If it doesn't fix the WB problem, you can always turn it back on (just follow the same procedures, except select Automatic instead of disabled).

Not sure what you mean by enhancements. I use Icon Packager and Sound Packager. I don't have any other program that alters the appearance of the Windows GUI.
