Windowblinds Acting Up
Saturday, October 9, 2010 by PoSmedley | Discussion: Stardock Support General
This may be the first issue I have ever had with Windowblinds. It's blacking out parts of windows. On other windows, it's blacking out the details pain and showing the menu bar there. If I maximizer it and reduce it, some of it goes away.
I uninstalled and reinstalled WB today and no change.
When I had it uninstalled, the problems did not occur.

Windows updates aren't the cause. The pre releases caused it. Next time just do #5.

Updated Windows and passed on the WB update. All is good.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Even you , Mary. Next time you decide to bitch me out in PM, I'm telling your grandson you're an ABBA fan.

I'll put it on a T-Shirt.

Your obsession with flaming nipples really freaks me out.

I had the blacks too in explorer. I was waiting for a WB update until I saw this thread. I couldn't find the "Verify installation" with the right click until I read you have to push shift and right click at the same time. I found that WB wasn't installed correctly. All is well now. Thanks Doc for reply #1 and Po I had this problem since the last update I feel your pain.

I would suggest that he 'paid' you to sat that, considering all the grief he has given me. However, if he had, he would have had you thank him for post #5.
Either or, it doesn't matter. He's a cheap SOB and probably would have tried to take it out in trade instead of opening his wallet.

I have no idea what you are talking about 
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I have to agree with the Doc. You can go to the Graphics Card manufacturers site and they should have a list of drivers, including previous versions. I have done this with an older ATI Radeon Card I had in my laptop. I would also check out the link and see f that helps. My first choice would be to go to ATI, if that is what you have.

Problem was resolved.
In that case, I don't think Jafo would have a problem with a picture of the young couple.

After the last update, I had the condition shown in picture #2. It took two reboots to fix it but it now works correctly.

Rewbooting did not do it for me. I had to uninstall the pre-release version of WB I had updated to to fix it.

I would take Neils advice first.
Also, I don't see where any of the Windows updates could cause the issue.
I wouldn't install the modem update if the hardware's working right. Besides, since you have cable you probably don't use the modem anyway.
