Help - WindowFX isn't working

Monday, November 24, 2003 by TazG | Discussion: Stardock Software

I downloaded the trial version of WindowFX and the minimize and maximize effects don't seem to do anything, and the Window Dragging just freezes Windows. I am using Windows XP Home.

WindowFX needs a pretty powerful graphics card. What's yours? Perhaps it needs to be upgraded.

It might be the video card. I have a Radeon 7000, and I have Windows FX set to only do the special effects that seem to work fine. You should experiment with Windows FX and see what works well with your card and what does not. Just disable whatever special effects don't work.

I've had the same problem with my full version not working right with the maximize to specific size not working. I re-installed and now it works. I have no clue why...........
