Help - WindowBlinds 4.20.017 - Lockups with Win2000
Saturday, January 3, 2004 by Waldo1967 | Discussion: Stardock Software
I started having weird window lockups a few days ago. Meaning, certain windows would just be unrepsonsive, especially the windowsblinds configure panel, but other windows too. All I could do was ctrl/alt/delete and then shut them down. It was strange because it would only affect one window, other windows behind would function normally.
The problem cleared up when I unloaded windowblinds, so I updated to the latest version, and it still happened. Then I uninstalled WB4 and went back to 3.51.053 and the problem cleared up. So . . .
What features am I going to miss with the old version compared to the new one?
Is this a known problem with win2000?
Other programs I have running:
IconPackager
CursorXP
Webblinds
ThemeManager
WinStyles
My system:
Athlon XP2500
512MB 2700 Ram
NForce 2 Deluxe Mobo
Win2000Pro (latest service packs)
Geforce Ti4200 (45.23)
Directx 9.1

questions: do you run another theming program besides stardocks like stylexp or a hacked uxtheme file?
why do you have both thememanager and winstyles?
did it mess up only one program or did every program have errors including the explorer?
