Help Needed
Saturday, December 3, 2005 by Rygher | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi, I recently upgraded to WB5 from WB 4.6. It successfully installed and I rebooted. When i logged back in, one of the new themes from the installation was being used. I then went to change to a different theme and got this message telling me to select data source. It says "you can use and file data source that refers to an ODBC driver which is installed on your machine." I don't know how to fix this and can't use any themes besides classic or normal xp now. What do I need to do? Should I try uninstalling WB and then reinstall it, or what is recommended. Thanks for your help!

SDC? I used the .exe installer to upgrade. I unloaded wb as told, upgraded, and then have had these issues. If you have xp, could you see what the names of the files in c:/program files/common files/odbc/data sources?

0 objects.
Mine's empty, but WB5 is working.
did you uninstall 4.6, then reboot, then install 5, then reboot? That's what SDC (the StarDock Central browser, download and update mgr) had me do.
Checking posts for ODBC....

That doesn't work. Neil has been trying to help me get it fixed, but with no luck at all. I can still go back to 4.6 and it will work perfectly, but 5 won't work at all
