I am going to unistall Windowblinds! I wasted my 50 bucs!
Saturday, March 27, 2004 by Duane | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Windowblinds does not work! I have installed and reinstalled. I can not get WB to work. Everything goes bad as soon as I turn on Internet Explorer. I try to enter an address or enter a word in a search engine. IE freezez after the first letter typed then promptly crashes. The same thing happens in Outlook Express too. I have no clue what is wrong I have bought earler versions of WB too and they didn't work eather. I should have know better. But if anyone can succesfully help me and get this program to work I will eat my words. So utill then I am going back to Style XP I know it is just a hack but it works. Also it seems that the people who make this program don't really help eather. E-Mails go un answered.

Check for nasty critters like viri. Style XP is a nono. Messing with the kernal is asking for things to break. Update or reinstall IE. I've been using Object Desktop for awhile now and its never broken anything....crucial that is. Just hang in there and be patient. Something will work out.

LiteSTEP is a free-standing executable....replaces explorer.exe ....and is not an OS hack, but a simple program....no different than notepad.exe.
Anyone can kill the explorer process and run shell-less.....the clever ones just load an alternate such as LiteSTEP...

It would be very useful if we can determine which BHO is causing the problem. Then we can try and repro it and see why it causes a problem.

I had StyleXP earlier running parallel to WB and had problems?After deistallation of SytleXp WB is running perfect.What OS do you have? If you run millenium I suggest to overwrite it with XP, because millenium is crashing system and not OS.

I have XP. All I know is that with Enable Third-Party Extentions on IE does not work. I have went into the settings and removed the objects that were there and with no objects and turned back on IE crashes.

If you do install new video drivers make sure to uninstall the old ones first. I have discovered that not doing so will cause oddness in WB but nothing else including games. It is the way ATI recommends to update your drivers.
