help please...

Friday, January 20, 2006 by Rychian | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just reinstalled xp and reinstalled windowblinds 4. None of the skins are working outside of the ones that came down with it. is there a setting in my system or windowblinds that I need to fix....or do I need a newer version of windowblinds? everything worked fine before the reinstall, and I was using windowblinds 4. Thank you for your help......

I'm using msn...but I have never had this problem before...and this is a brand new xp home reinstall.My previous's firewall was giving serious trouble on some sites. so I dumped and lost everything. now with the reinstall I have wb trouble and cursor trouble but this is as far as I have gotten so far.

XP has a habit of recognising renamed zip archives as zips and downloads/saves them as such.

A wba file is a renamed zip.....and until XP realises that it has a WB proggy to associate wba files with it will continue to save them as zips.

This could easily be why included skins work but downloaded ones do not...

I'm guessing that since the info in the link Brickhead provided worked for WB, the same train of thought would apply to your CursorXP issue.
