Yeah I found the checkbox in version 5 that allows you to turn off the per-pixel stuff, so I just turned it off and everything works great now. Thanks

I'm using the latest available and I also tried the non-Beta, they both behaive the same. For now, using version 4 and no shadows in WindowFX appears to be the work-around.

ATI Built Radeon 1900XTX Driver version 6.8. I installed Windowblinds 4, no problems. So it must be something with version 5. I noticed that if you use a per-pixel shaded blind the shadows won't enable in WindowFX. So I am guessing this problem has alot to do with the way they are implementing the per-pixal shading feature. The fact that if I enable shadows (also uses per-pixal) in WindowFX without Windowblinds installed and the problem still occurs just points to that in my opinion. <a

I seem to be having the same slow down problem with Titan Quest, and with Need for Speed Most Wanted it crashes. Once I remove Windowsblinds slow down goes away and the crashes stop. The same problems occur if I use shadows in WindowFX. I never had these problems on my old video card (nVidia) so it must be something with the ATI cards.

Maybe because windows has this ability built into it! duh! Open the control panel, click on Sounds and Audio Devices icon, click on Sounds tab, you can change any sound you want and even save themes
