Current wb Skin broken, other skins too on pc and skinstudio not working on laptop!
Saturday, September 5, 2015 by bluedxca93 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi,
my window blinds 8 runned fine with skinstudio 7 on win 7 pc.
Then lately Skinstudio crashed once and now i can`t save as new skin name etc.
My laptop doesn´t load skinstudio 8. and window blinds doesn´t theme everything there.
How can i do remove the current configuratiopn and do a clean install of both software on both systems that works for sure?.
Would be using free ccleaner+adwcleaner and redownloading applications enough?
regards bluedxca93

Go to your command prompt in administrative mode Frieder and run "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes). When that finishes reboot your computer and see if things work better. If not, then uninstall Windowblinds (but keep your skins), then run a registry cleaner (cCleaner is good). Then reboot and reinstall the latest version of Windowblinds and then do the same for SkinStudio.
Hopefully that will resolve your issues.

Chkdsk /f /r from cmd.exe right click 'Run as Administrator' should include sfc /scannow .
Probably better to uninstall, reboot dl and install then reboot.

Hi,
works now again and its faster than before.
what i have done:
mounted my partition W72 on ubuntu 14.04.
deleted temp folders with mc (midnight commander -/ looks like norton commander)
unmounted it.
runned ntfsfix with my partition device name ( /dev/sda1)
shut the system down.
started 32 bit win7 recovery cd
runned chkdsk /f /r
shut down
started 64 bit win7 recovery cd
recovery went well
booted
logged in
runned sfc /scannow as admin
Now even the skins that looked broken looks right-/fixed now.
thx for your help !!
b.t.w. it boots even faster now.
Thought it was window blinds and it was the partition table configuration of ntfs. ( no bad sectors or harddisk damage visible smart values are ok)

wel that was all with this damn file system bug ( ntfs is very stable usually even stabler than ext3 but wasn`t this one time )
