I Killed WindowBlinds :P
Help me please?
Sunday, November 23, 2008 by krs10xnicole | Discussion: Stardock Support General
When I first got my new laptop with Vista, one of the first things I did was download WindowBlinds. I was having a great time with all of the skins and stuff. Then I was using the program Startup Manager a few months ago to modify my startup programs, and it was before I knew what registry codes were. I unchecked everything, including explorer.exe, and then everytime I turned on my computer, I had to manually run explorer.exe. I finally realized what explorer.exe was, but it took me forever to figure out where to place it back in startup. And, for the weeks when it wasn't starting up correctly, for some reason videos wouldn't display on my computer. But they do now, so back to the main point...ever since I took explorer, other programs, and some registry codes off of startup, even after I put explorer back, none of the WindowBlinds skins work for me. If I apply one (I tried Wednesdays Nightmare and all of the other ones which I have, for that matter) then the computer skin just reverts from Aero back to Windows Classic. It doesn't do ANY skinning. I'd really like to be able to skin my computer again!! Can anyone help?

What I would do, as this appears to be a registry/startup issue, is uninstall WindowBlinds, reboot, install WindowBlinds, reboot. That should reset any WindowBlinds registry/startup issues.

I would suggest requesting your serial numbers again so you can install WB 6.3 rather than 6.0
