Help with Windowblinds application update

Friday, June 13, 2008 by Mr. Bill | Discussion: Beginners

Hello, I was changing font styles in Vista Clear and something went wrong.The error said ( WindowBlinds has stopped running.....). I restarted and my descktop was not all there, and Descktop Window Manager did not start. I went to Impulse to verify windowblinds installation. It said windowblinds is not installed correctly and look for application update. Should I go through and unistall and re-install windowblinds?

I would say yes. First change back to the default theme using WindowBlinds. Use Impulse to uninstall, run a clean up program like CCleaner and a registry cleaner and then reboot. Open up Impulse and reinstall WindowBlinds, reboot and then hopefully you should be okay.

Do I have to log off when leaving the forums?
Do I close a thread and how?
Is there something I can read to insure I'm doing things properly here?

It send an email to senior folks at Stardock letting them know of a problem on the forums.  Use with caution.

This noobe wont touch. WinCustomize is very lucky to have all of you that help with this site. You've made me feel welcomed and may have stopped me from throwing in the towel.
