Windows Blinds problem causing computer to malfunction
Friday, June 12, 2009 by Robtastyness | Discussion: Beginners
hmm, i dunno why but whenever i download WindowsBlinds it "seems" to be working fiine with no computer problems!
but when i decide to swich off my laptop the shut down screen stays active forever!!! and it does my head in cause i then have to fuck up my system by swiching it off by the main swich.
why does WindowsBlinds cause my system to run slowly and unstable?
my laptop should work great using this type of program. i know i have the required specs to run everything...
anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Documented problem with MS and more common since SP2 in Vista but occurs in XP too. Many supposed to be due to wireless connection not letting go at shutdown. Most MS sites recommend opening msconfig.exe and selecting normal startup load all device drivers and services then reboot and see if problem is solved at next shutdown then customise your start up services again after that.

PLEASE report all this information when submitting a problem report. We don't know what's in that notebook from last summer. Per-pixel skinning requires your hardware has WDDM drivers and a graphics experience score of at least 2.
