JERSEYGUY a few questions that your answers to may help others that could be able to help you.

Had your computer been working okay before?

Did you download any new programs that could be causing the problem?

Is this happening with all WindowBlind skins?

Can you tell whether the error message is generated by Vista or WindowBlinds? Post a screenshot of the error message if you can.

Open WindowBlinds configuration and copy and paste the system information.

One last thing, open WindowBlinds and change to the default skin. What this will do is stop WB from running and appling a skin. Then reboot and see if the problem is still there. That should give an indication if it is WindowBlinds that is causing the problem.

Damn couldn't edit. Once you select the default skin apply it before rebooting. You probably figured that out.

I just purchased the Asus G1.I think the error message was generated by Vista, it said program could not be configured and had to close. I then download the upgrade and reloaded it and thats when it worked but everything was enlarged or magnified.I went and changed the screen resolution and it worked but once i tryed picking some options it closed again. Every time i start WindowBlinds the resolution is again enlarged. Thanks for the response..

I have the same problem when I use windowblinds with Vista. I reset my font DPI and got windowblinds to work.

Desktop properties > settings > advanced > general > make sure the DPI setting is 96.
