Windowblinds 7 and Windows XP

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 by LightStar | Discussion: Stardock Support General

First of all, congrat's on releasing WB7 today!  I am having one problem though.  Everything works when using WB7 in Windows XP Pro 32-bit with the exception of the Textures feature.  It will not work on any skin at all in XP.  My info is as follows:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.0 (build 76 x86)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

(Dell 2408WFP(Digital)) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

Tray.dll              2009/10/21 09:13:19
Screen.exe         2009/11/07 12:39:26

Any ideas support?

Does it not apply or throws an error?

No errors, shows in the preview like Gahenna said, but just will not apply to any skin.

I get all of the previews provided but none will apply here either.

We understand what's unhappy with the textures on XP. I will plan to put a new build up on Wednesday to tweak that.
