WB illegal
Tuesday, June 29, 2004 by PurrBall | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
On win98se, I am having serious serious serious serious serious serious serious serious serious serious serious serious problems with WB. Every time I open a program twice without rebooting inbetween, it gives me an illegal operation, and the the proggy isn't skinned. Then when I open a any program at all no matter if I haven't opened it, it gives me an illegal operation and then it isn't skinned either. How2fix?

Maybe I am naive, or do not have a clue, but why would someone leave a nasty immature comment on a skin? What would be the point? It is not like a skin is a piece of spyware that screws up your computer. If you don't like it, just let the skinner know, that would be what I would do.
Hmmm...It seems this guy needs a technician. He seems also a little sensitive about his computer. Sometimes it is best to let go of the past and move on.

you might just want to format your hd and install 98 again and then install windowblinds. It just might work.

I agree. I used to use 98 all the time and I had some problems, but the bottom line is that allot of 4.x and up features are useless on 98. I never upgraded my 98 machine past WB 3.4 It works and I know it works.
Plus 98 handles memory differently too... Its almost a lost cause. Try to get WB 3.4 or better yet 3.3 downgrade. It still looks cool and skins allot of stuff.

Oh, this little Kitty leaves nice and encouraging words everywhere, and what I am trying to figure out while you guys try to solve his problem, is why anyone bother to answer...
His two comments on Mac OS X Panther WB goes like this:
"Made my own new one!(I won't post it, everyone can have this one, mine is so much better! Heheheheheh!)
by Skinner *Meow??* - 2/18/2004 1:05:51 PM
I use it for a few hours, i'm sick of it already.

Don't think he's here at WC looking for new friends...

Way back in the beginning, you were asked what the exact error message was. You haven't yet told us what that message contains. This is information needed in order to find out exactly why your wb software is crashing.
You haven't mentioned the amount of ram you are using either. having worked with 98 and wb in the past I know that ram is a big issue with crashes on the elderly OS.
98 uses ALOT of resources, which makes it difficult to run many programs at once.if you have several programs running in the background, while trying to run wb, you could be recieving the error message because 98 just can't handle sharing resources well.
I don't understand why you've chosen to be obstinate in your responses to those who are here trying to help you, but I can guarantee you will recieve less and less assistance if you continue to type in such a manner.
Further, it might behoove you to add a bit more information to your request for help. too vague a question results in alot of "could be's"
Hope you will have gotten this issue resolved soon, and I hope you have the grace to take the words posted in these answers to heart and become a more productive citizen of this online community.

Thats what I think, you need to replace them with Brauts of the Sweet Italian or Beer variety. Then when your system crashes you can pull out your buns and stuff em. Nothing like a quick snack, heavy on the Hot Sause and no Mustard please

As my mother would say, I'm going to "expand my horizons" and update WB. (It may not work)

Meow, you can only expand your horizons when you are big enough to see the horizon.
Have you unloaded WB to see if your proggies still work? Have you uninstalled WB, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled? Have you changed themes to see if you have a corrupt file in the theme? Have you been very polite to the ppl you are asking help from?
