Window Blinds Problems

from Stardock Forums
I recently downloaded and installed the WindowBlinds V5. No problems installing it but when I go to select a skin to apply to my computer it takes a long time to load and when it comes back to the desktop it has the 90's looking windows classic skin instead of the one that I had tried to apply. It also doesn't show the icon on my tool bar when I load it or anything.

Can anyone help me? I've used the program on a different computer and I had no problems with it and I'd like to use it again. I'm running on Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Please and thank you

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on View my system information.  Copy/paste that info here.

MySpace owns photobucket = FAIL. Plus, photobucket always resizes stuff.

and why are the times that important?
End of quote


because they are part of the files

and once all the info is shown, I can then tell you that these:

wblind.dll 05/11/28 13:57:10


wbload.exe 05/11/25 19:30:58
wbhelp.dll 04/09/18 15:37:00
wbui.dll 05/11/20 12:23:40
tray.dll 05/11/02 13:28:26
End of quote


appear to be the only correct files

and these:

wbsrv.dll 05/12/04 05:27:26
wbconfig.exe 05/12/04 05:27:26
End of quote


well... none of my versions show identical dates and times


and those are off anyway

Some poems to go with your patch. ;)

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

*sigh*

he comes in saying his WB is not working properly, then he has the audacity to post a link to a cracked version. How idiotic.
