Thursday, October 13, 2005 by Heike Cooper | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi: I work with a lot of software and know how to get most things working...But I can't get windowblinds 4.90b to work at all. 1.) Have uninstalled & Re-Installed a billion times. 2.) I have a Radeon 7000 Video Card - Have already updated the drivers to latest version. 3.) Somebody told me to put the activate.exe in windowblinds directory - I did... 4.)everytime my computer boots up it tells me to activate windowblinds-I put in the e-mail address and the serial number I have for windowblinds-I keep getting an error when I click "activate" - it won't activate windowblinds?????????????? 5.) I have even pulled down my firewalls and anti=spyware software figuring that it might be preventing this to register ???? Didn't help at all........... 6.) I'm frustrated and PO'd now - Please help , Thanks. Heike

george,
I believe the WB5 beta is still only available to Object Desktop subscribers.
I am sure Stardock will extend the release to others as soon as some of the bug fixes are finalized - perhaps on a Release Candidate version.

Heike Cooper: So glad to see your post! I, too, have a Radeon 7000, and that fact has kept me from attempting the upgrade. So...after a good night's rest and all the food groups tomorrow a.m., I guess 
I'll go for it.
and thanks, Hapkido, for this wisdom. Gawd, I REALLY don't want to bork my PC...what the heck...

I'll go for it.| I saved all the skins folders to my Desktop first. |

(The Wincustomize databases had to be reverted, so I am reposting/retyping my response)
xgman: I fixed an activation error in your account two days ago. This would have prevented you from reinstalling WB5.
alphadog: did you perform an uninstall and then reboot and reinstall and then reboot once more? I don't see anything on this end that would prevent you from successfully running Windowblinds 5 Beta. If it still doesn't work, I'd be interested to know which version of Windows (including service packs) you're running along with the information in the troubleshooting section of the Windowblinds Configuration window.
Both Windowblinds 4.x and Windowblinds 5 Beta show up in Stardock Central for everyone, including myself. It had to be set up this way because people without an Object Desktop subscription are not eligible to run Windowblinds 5 Beta, but may still download Windowblinds 4.x. Since both versions of Windowblinds go to the same directory, as long as you uninstall one version before installing the other, you shouldn't have any problems (updating Windowblinds will not require you to uninstall/reinstall).
