Weekly Poll: Changing Skins
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Time for another weekly poll. This week it's a pretty simple question: How often do you change skins? Is it frequently, or only a few times a year? Can you even remember the last time you changed skins on your PC?
Vote in the poll, leave your comments here. Results next week.

Are you updating through SDC or Impulse?

Is it a good idea to uninstall W/Bs 6.00, before installing the latest 6.1 version ???? thank you.
It shouldn't be necessary.Are you updating through SDC or Impulse?

Just hold on a bit so support can take a look at what you have going on.

Will it let you re-apply the normal windowsUI without a reboot,or does it hang then also?What skins have you tried?If you want,post a little more of your system specs, and steps you're taking.I'm sure that will help.The mods may move this thread over to a better spot,where more may see it. Hang in there.
You may even want to start a new post,like Zubaz suggested.{edit} didn't see Zubaz's reply til after I replied,sorry.
I'd suggest you install it again and post your system info (in a new post) so we can see what is wrong and get it fixed.

Sounds like you are hitting some sort of caching issue. If you didn't restart right after the update then you can get this error with your settings. Normally I have a file you can target to delete and let the software restart but not as much with WB.
So I hate to say this but try uninstalling, restart, redownload/reinstall, then restart again before running the software. Let me know if that does the trick for you. Normally I like to sound more intelligent in my answers but I think simple is going to work best here.
