Activate Windowblinds 7

Friday, July 11, 2025 by Nimbin | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hi all.

 

I have an old PC that i have set up with Windows 7 64bit in order to play some of my old games as a little piece of nostalgia. I have installed Windowblinds 7.04 on it but there is no way i can see to activate it. i have been an Object Desktop subscriber for years (Since 2006 and still current to this day) and i really want to have use of the software i paid for . I cant install WB 11 or 10 on this PC as its not compatible with Windows 7.

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I don't have Windowblinds 7 to confirm but I do have Windowblinds 10 that is running on my Windows 7 system. Perhaps you can try Windowblinds 10.

Thank you.

Does the issue appear on any theme? Including theme that come with WB, such as Diamond, Acrylic 7 etc?

Thank you,

yep, every theme i try to apply does the same..even going back to the default windows theme using WB results in the same behavior. Uninstalling, rebooting and reapplying the windows 7 default from the personalize section works, but only after uninstalling Windowblinds itself. Oh well. No big deal I'll just stick to standard windows 7. I have WB 11 on my modern laptop and it works perfectly.

That is strange, as you see on my screenshot below. WB10 work on Win 7 without issue for me.

Thank you,
