Aaron3178 it sort of sounds like you are talking about a WindowBlinds Skin. Do you have WindowBlinds install? If so go into configuration and copy your system info and post it here. Now if that's not correct than answer Bebl Bulma's questions.

That is a nice skin. So do what I asked in reply #2, maybe your files have gotten messed up somehow.

Hate to tell you this Aaron, but the trial is only good for 30 days. Your dates don't match up to what you just said as having this for 3 months. So you want tell us where you got your WB's download from? It isn't going to work.

Aaron it doesn't work that why, once installed the clock starts, when 30 days are up you are done. So, again I ask where did you get the download from? Lots of folks come here every day trying to pass off hacked software as being valid. You wouldn't be one of those people would you? Just asking.

Okay, then you will need to explain something for me. You say you have had the trial version for 3 months, yet your system info shows a current release version. Trial software does not have update capabilities. How did you do that? Come on you can tell me. I won't tell anyone else.

I uninstalled and reinstalled...I said so in reply #9. I uninstalled it yesterday because I wasnt thinking straight, and today I thought "Why did I do that??" so I reinstalled it from the website.

Okay, that makes sense. Now back to what I said in reply #8. Your trial period is over based upon your previous install. If you like the program you will have to make the decision to either buy or uninstall the program from your computer because it isn't going to work.

Folks, all I was trying to do was get the person to talk (post). I didn't do it thinking about catching a person doing something wrong. My thinking was, okay we all make mistakes, look for help and sometimes have a hard time explaining what the problems is or how we got to where we were.
Did it get long and drawn out, yes. Some of the responses were interesing, 3 months for a trail version, goes and downloads a trail version again, and gets some messed up dates. Screen.exe 1969/12/31 16:00:24, I'm old but I don't think there were personal computers in 1969!
I also know that reply #10 was really pushing it and could of caused some major prolems here, won't do that again, but I was pretty sure the poster was going to tell me anything. I never once said that the poster was a hacker, although I did ask. Well, maybe I did with asking. No bad language was used and I got a thank you.
Also I am sorry, I know there are some members of the community out there that thought I didn't handle this correctly and treated the poster rather childish. The posters age showed as 15, so I kind of thing I treated the poster more as an adult.
