IconPackager is not running at all until you open it to change icons. It doesn't run in the background. WindowBlinds shouldn't slow you down, unless you're using a skin with lots of animation, or is poorly constructed. Does your computer speed upif you unload WB? Does changing skins make a difference?

What OS?
What speed is your computer?
RAM?
Video Card?
If you have a P2 366 Mhz with 64 Megs of RAM running Windows 98, then yes you mihgt experience a little slowdown with Windowblinds, but with a recent computer running XP it won't make a difference.

Yep, you probably need a different processor, more memory and a different operating system. You can't expect a supercharger to run properly in an edsel.

Just exactly where did you download icon packager and windowblinds from? If you got somewhere other than stardock you may have some other issues. Just trying to be thorough.

My guess is Paxx is probably close to on the money about your system and you are probably trying to run too much stuff for that old system. Also, like NT said in another one of your posts, try keeping all your questions about getting this stuff up and running in one thread, it's much easier to follow

| by Citizen Jazz98 - 10/14/2004 11:24:29 AM If you have windows 98 you cant download windowblinds can you... As you download it you need to have windows 2000/xp but the author clearly says that its compatable with windows 98.... |
