No WB when booting up
Friday, February 22, 2008 by TunieV | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I'm a long time user of many Stardock products as well as a WinCustomize subscriber. I recently cranked up Stardock Central and let it run an update to WindowBlinds to 6.1 (Build 46 x86).
Now, for some strange reason, whenever I start up my computer from a cold boot or a restart, my selected WindowBlind is not applied.
Then I open WindowBlinds from the Start menu (Windows XP Pro), the WindowBlind I had selected before is the one selected still and I go ahead and click "Apply my changes" for kicks and nothing gets applied. I still have the nasty ugly Windows default.
This only started happening after the update to Build 46 x86. I've never had a problem over the last 4-5 years with WindowBlinds at all - just with this new update.
Any ideas on what's going on?
TIA for any help - much appreciated.

Looks like some folks missed this post.
Open up WB select the ugly defaut skin and click apply, reboot, open WB and select a different skin and hit apply, what happens? I'm sure you have tried to apply different skins. Sometimes, not very often, my system won't apply the skin correctly unless I reboot. If that doesn't work, have you added any software recently that could be causing the problem?
If you haven't made any changes to you system and nothing has changed in your settings then I would email [email protected]. Hope you find a solution, post back.
