WB Crashes When I attempt to Recolor Skins
Help
Friday, April 24, 2009 by DrJBHL | Discussion: WindowBlinds
When I attempt to recolor skins....any skin....the HSL part of the WB Config shows double images and then becomes nonfunctional. In all truth, I've noticed this for a couple of months but figured this would straighten itself out on update...but it hasn't.
Ive followed I.D.'s instructions in the external link to the letter, but it's a "no go".
Any ideas?
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.4 (build 123 x86 - Vista Edition)
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

Nope....didn't do it. There's gotta be a way to recover the original Vista Orb/taskbar. I wish I knew how.

question.......did you uninstall MyColors when you uninstalled Windowblinds?
If not try it again this time uninstalling both,,,,cleaning up after both....then install MyColors first and get a theme up, then install Windowblinds

No need. It has suddenly reappeared after a double update of Impulse and MyColors....updating MyColors through MyColors and through Impulse to version 2.60.
I had updated it twice before, but each time all I got was Windows Classic.
Weirdest thing I've seen yet, but I tuly extend my gratitude and thanks to all my friends here who tried to help....Lantec, Shelby, yrag, Curt and Randy...thanks all.
Now I'm afraid to change skins!

Shelby....honest...I tried your fix, and then (and all today) when I wasn't 'zapping' wb and updating mycolors rebooting, trying and retrying....just kept at it and then suddenly it reappeared.
I really don't know how it happened. Suddenly after going to MyColors2.6 and trying yet again...I hate to say it.....*poof. There it was. Don't know what to say, but .... whatever....it worked.
Why do I amaze you? Am I that dumb?

(ignoring the "ummmmm". Remember yrag: good docs check prostates. what we check 'em with is up to us)
No...Custom was checked.
Reselected to all.

I know that....do you think I'm dumb or something.......?

No!
Just that it worked out of the blue as it did is all. Some would be mad as hell and be throwing in the towel and blaming the world as such needs be they usually all do.
What yrag wants is the version of the nvidia drivers you have installed check info in your nvidia control panel.

Is that when this started?
Reply #38 Friday, April 24, 2009 10:35 PM
No...I mean I just updated them, yrag....just now.
nVidia makes me download them from HP. Those are the latest ones.
Gonna sack out...been at this all day, My eyes are falling out and WB STILL can't recolor skins. Feh!

See this page here doc at nvidia; scroll down and check for products supported as such...
you might try that one even though it is a beta driver and it is recommended... that other driver from HP I'm not sure of - yet still checking.
