Windows update Messed up WB 5
Suggestions?
Saturday, December 17, 2005 by Vizzue | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Wow. This morning,I started up my computer, and it automatically installed a Windows Update. Meh. It restarted as well. When I logged back in, everything was screwy. Most skinned stuff was black, and my computer ran INCREDIBLY INSANELY SLOW. It took ten minutes to bring up the start menu. There was not much HD accessing while it was doing that either. After about half an hour of patience, I managed to unload WB (I'm using 5.0. It worked fine. Now, when I load up any skin, alpha blending or not, it goes crazy. I hate the regular XP look, so what can I do? Any others with this problem, or someone with a solution?

Siegemaster: just purchase the product, its well worth $20.00. I think Stardock is well within its rights to kill the program if you did not purchase it.

well then, siegmaster, use paypal or one of the other alternative methods to buy the app. coming in here and bragging that you use a warez copy of wb or another stardock app isn't the brightest things to do. sheesh!!

collect cans & recycle them
ask people if they need they lawn mowed
wash cars
do a paper route
delivery pizza
shoe shine
babysit
if none of these work for you your a lazy sob

Hey, it's still my friend's computer. I was away this weekend, so sorry guys. I'll purchase WB for myself now. I had no idea it was cracked, okay. My own computer has been on the fritz, so I use his. You did guess correctly that I am under 18, so I have to convince someone with paypal or something (annoying parents hate technology) to pay. Also, does anyone know of a good boutique-style computer store online? I'm thinking there's something very very wrong with my own computer, and a replacement would be a smart choice.

I got my hands on a copy of the cracked WB5 and liked it so much I bought the real copy. I always support software that I think is worthwhile and I've found that cracked stuff (especially that eventually breaks) is a great preview. It works with games with early release cracks but later stop functioning after an update. If you're addicted to the game you're going to run out and buy that baby. WB5 is a great application and worth the dough - glad the update made my version stop working.

Am I reading this right.... Some folks using illegal software are levying accusations at Stardock because their systems are not behaving as expected? And, their throwing those accusations a free board supplied by Stardock.
Tell me I drank to much "Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro 2000" last evening or at least I missed the part where those in the wrong said they will make it right in a timely fashion... In either case, the Ruffino was mighty taste.

Vizzue.. With your coputer not working right, have you tried reformatting? That will wipe the whole system to see if it was a software conflict and not hardware. You can do this with your XP Install CD by telling it to install a fresh copy of Windows.

It's much the same sort of issue as messing with 'modified' ntoskrnl.exe files. If the proggy you are attenpting to alter is closely tied into the OS itself then things have a very real potential to 'go wrong'.
Alternate Shell users know this well....though usually you just lose your GUI...but at times you can be running around like a headless chook looking for SafeMode...cos the system has locked solid with even the task manager 'not responding'....all thanks to a bit of iffy coding...
