WB not Skinning at all

Sunday, May 11, 2008 by Twiztiddad | Discussion: WindowBlinds

  OK, I have WB 6.1 installed, and everytime I try to apply a Skin, it goes through the motions of doing it, but then I am just left with the OLD school windows look with nothing skinned at all. I am using Windows XP, is there another program I need to have installed alongside WBs in order for it to work or what?? I never really had a problem until about 3 days ago. I've even done fresh Windows re-install.... ')">

Well, LOL< I got WB to work...Finally. BUT, now I'm having Issues with Firefox. It's Skinning fine, but when ever I open OR close FF, I get a XPCom error.....Is this an Issue with FireFox, WB's, or because I have SP3 installed??? And does Anyone have a Solution???

Firefox can get the jitters due to bookmarks toolbar - but I haven't seen any xpcom errors.
What version of FF?

WB - open wb config, click system info, copy text, paste here

sp3 - haven't seen issues like that yet

A cracked version is never the right version.

Asking for help with a bad crack usually won't get any.

This may be caused by the "version" you installed.


Scan your system for errors, and malware.

Uninstall FF, reboot, get a fresh one and install.

Found the answer I do believe. In FireFox: Tools > Options > Security > UN-check Tell me if Site is suspected of Forgery. So far, knock on wood, I haven't had anymore issues as of yet. Thnx for all the time and assistance from everyone.
