Did you disable wb & then see if it clears the issue,more info would be better your pretty vague on anything you've tried

yeah it is a wb issue if i use the standard aero it works fine i just installed my colours & i have lost the min/close buttons

it is a wb issue because when i use the standard aero of win 7 every thing is fine i just installed my colours now & every thing is not skinning properly & the min close buttons are missing untill i go back to standard aero on win 7

On another forum a fella has installed win 7 on a what was a vista laptop with 8800gt graph card,taking wb out of the equation yours is a very similar issue,uninstalling the graph driver may prove useful as he did that & it ran fine,well keep it in mind anyway just in case]

Due to an installation bug, you need to install MyColors before installing WindowBlinds on Windows 7.

i stop the graphic card service still doing the same thing?

Uninstall mycolors. I had big issues with it runnin g alongside WB 7.
Reply #13 Sunday, October 25, 2009 4:03 PM
it was doing this before my colours install but thx for the advice

when I uninstalled the graphic driver from my comp it stoped the problem so there must be a bug at stardock ot nvidia end?

The problem is with Win-7 taskbar thumbnails preview. I disabled this option by simple tweaks:
1. Create empty text file.
2. Copy and paste this code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ExtendedUIHoverTime"=dword:00004e20
3. Save file like tweak.reg. Then run it.
That's all. You will not see taskbar thumbnails because the new hover time = 20 sec. But your WB began to work more stable.

it has gone back to crash mode what happens is every thing becomes slugish & bits of the taskbar vanish help please. 
back to normal if i get lucky & it asks me to restart explorer or i have to log of & then back on to use the taskbar as normal again
