Help!! WB is messing up my computer!! (with screenshots)
I don't know what to do anymore... I tried everything!
Friday, December 16, 2005 by Link632 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I have been using WB5 for about 4 days now and I haven't gotten any types of errors, whatsoever, up until a few hours ago.. I didn't even do a thing! I was using Mormegil's ChristmasTime theme (and ran it for 4 days without errors), then when I decided to come to WinCustomize.com to browse for new Objects and such, my computer hung up on me! I don't know if that had anything to do with my visiting wincustomize.com, but it couldn't have been a virus or a spyware because I just performed a general maintenance on my computer a few hours earlier (and I have been doing that since January).. Then I restarted my computer using the button on my CPU and when I entered my Windows XP account, the entire "start" bar below (the whole thing, not just the start button, but the entire bar -- sorry, i have no idea what it's called) didn't even show up! The only thing that showed up was the digital clock, and that's it.. Ok, hold on.. I don't know where I'm going anymore. I think it's better if I just show you a screenshot and maybe you can just help me out and tell me what's wrong (also, I tried uninstalling+re-installing WB5, but apparently, that didn't fix my problem)..

That's my whole screen.. No "start button" and the entire "bar" at the bottom of the screen is messed up! WB also got rid of my Windows XP theme.. I tried accessing through desktop/right-click/bah blah but then that didn't work.. all it's showing me is nothing (sorry, I'm really, really sleepy and i have been trying to fix this problem since 5 PM (and now it's about (9:00).. so, that should explain why my grammar is skewed. i haven't even eaten yet!) I tried righ clicking on "My Computer" and going to "Manage" / "Services" / etc. (as one poster explained in another thread), but that didn't work -- it didn't bring my Windows XP theme back..
Please help me! I am totally clueless about what's going on! And once again, excuse the grammar. I'm typing this up real fast because I'm about to collapse.. 
I really hope you guys can help me! Please!

I am intersted and would like to buy some Stardock Software titles (especially WindowBlinds). Are there any known compatiability issues with semi-new OS like WinXP MCE2005? Would a program like WB cause games or any programs to crash like Adobe Photoshop, Maxon Cinema 4D, and Macromedia? I've been tempted to download the trial, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems with the programs I've mentioned. I'd rather hear some feedback before I go messing around with my new laptop. Thanks.

Neclkekitoid: Well I use WB on MCE 2005, so it has no problems with that OS.
I have also tested it with Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw and some of the macromedia apps without issues. Never tried Cinema 4D though.
Your best bet is to try the trial. Worst case, you dislike it and just uninstall it.

yeah right, like you didn't know what would happen after a certain date... But it's better to play dumb then stand chance of littigation i guess.
I get the distict feeling like you are hiding something. And it ain't pretty.
Whatever Vanillla might be or do, he does have a point that its not right to mess up peoples computers if they use cracked software (and i dont believe the harmful part is in the crack, but the boobytrap is in your software).

The moral indignation of thieves is always interesting.
I like the part how WE messed with people's computers. They apply a warez patch to a system wide desktop enhancement that causes WB to be unable to paint when a redundancy activation check comes on and it's our fault.

I really find it harder to read this kind of shorthand talk than just bad englisch. Not picking on you, Fuzzy, I know your level of intelligence permits a higher degree of articulation than what you used here. Just ercks me to have to read this from the "crackers". Just shows what is going on in schools: not much learning.

My uncle uses MCE, and all works well.
