Not sure WB is supported on XP Media Center edition...
Is on XP, Vista and 7.
OK... it is, but do you have XP 32 or 64 bit?

I have winxp 32 bit.
It's still not working for me. Not sure. I'm going to try all the steps again, since I was interrupted last time I tried.

Okay I've tried several times and it still doesn't work.
What I've tried:
from impulse uninstall wb7.2
restart
use ccleaner to clear registry of wb related registry stuff.
restart
re-install wb7
restart
wb7 doesn't show up in systray.
run wb7 from impulse or from start menu
try to skin but instead of screan blurring and then clearing with my skin applied, the windows xp default theme goes away and the system is skinned like old win 95 or 98 style.
Please Help!

Is WB still showing as not installed correctly?
Did you have WindowBlinds on this PC before the fresh install?
I'm not sure if it's needed but is the Themes service set to auto start on that version?
Reply #7 Thursday, August 11, 2011 8:45 AM
Yes. wb7 loaded fine previously on win xp mce.
don't know anything about Themes service and how to change auto start or not.
thanks for any help you can give.

Did you have your antiviral and firewall off when you installed?
Did you reboot?
* OK... just saw the im.... you rebooted. How is it now?
If not ok, have you "excepted " WB in your AV?
