Once again, windowblinds update has messed up vista

Any suggestions?

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 by bodean | Discussion: WindowBlinds


I no longer have a start button, and when I try to open the start menu, nothing is displayed correctly.
These new builds seem to break more than they fix.

Apparently the updates this morning have caused some problems. Are you able to go back to a previous version?    Remember now, support folks are on Holiday time off.

How do you go back?
Support is off for the holidays, but releasing updates during the holidays? odd

You would have had to archive the last version. Then you could uninstall and load back up the archived copy.

Hey, some people have no life.

I see no other posts about this issue. Does start dock know about it, and are others having the same issue?

This latest beta build work fine for me with Vista Ultimate except auto-hide taskbar (Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't work).

However, this build corrects a problem where the window of Windows Live Messenger with some themes becomes bigger at each opening.

It looks like the 64 bit build has installed the 64 bit XP dll on Vista.

I am a bit confused about the fact that your "Graphic Experience"-score is a 1; and that with a GeForce 8800 GTS!

Are your drivers installed correctly?

Yeah I noticed that too......
If that's what the 8800 GTS does for ya, I'll stick with my 8500GT.

You might try going to the nVidia site and dl the newest drivers. Save them to your desktop, and don't install them until you've uninstalled the old ones. They just updated the drivers last week.

I did not run the graphic experience after installing new drivers.
