Please Read this if your UI is black and painting slowly
Saturday, December 17, 2005 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: WindowBlinds
If you have installed a pirate copy (AKA cracked) version of WindowBlinds 5, please be aware that the crack is faulty and WindowBlinds will cease to function correctly on your computer.
To fix this you just need to uninstall WB and if you wish install a purchased copy of WB, or the trial.
To uninstall, you can either wait for your computer to login, unload WB (either using wbconfig, display properties, or from a command prompt calling WBLOAD UNLOAD) and then uninstall WB. Or you can boot into safe mode & uninstall WB from there.
Your computer has not been harmed in anyway. Whoever made the crack did a poor job and patched out code that causes WindowBlinds to no longer be able to paint bitmaps (so title bars, borders, everything will be black).

| I had this problem with the trial version for some skins. |
how long?
did it work fine at all? how long?
when did it start acting up? how long has it been doing that?
maybe a file borked: open WB configuration, click system info on the left and copy/paste to here all the shows up (or start a different post with that info)

Great...the newest member [of 2.63 million] can't spell and wants a crack for WB.
You're in the wrong place for TWO reasons then.....

When I tried the sofware on my machine (Pentium 2.0Ghz, 768Mb RAM, Radeon X700, XP Professional SP2 v5.1.2600.rtm.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) all windows turned black and the sistem hangs too much to simply open a window!
[Sorry for bad English]

The Problems with WB are such so as You wrote.
My Machine hangs up every time I try to load a Skin over WB, than it's all Black and I must kill machine to boot into safe Mode for unload WB.
WB does not work properly....
A whole day long I Install and uninstall WB, load down the Software new and new, but nothings happend better.
Or do You think they gave me a Crack?
Allright overthink what You write down there!

kokodak ....from your post I am assuming English is not your first language....perhaps German?
If so, perhaps a German-speaker will be able to assist you...as language barriers/errors may arise....

What I wrote is 100% correct.
Please create a new thread & post your System Information from WBconfig.

would that not be 'later rather than sooner'?
