[quote]BTW, when running W7 i can't see the drive where i have Vista installed, but from Vista i can see and access the drive with W7. Does this happen to anyone else? I have a similar, but different problem. I wanted to install 7 as a dual boot with Vista onto a second drive already on my system. But when I try, 7 don't see that drive. It sees my C drive and my G drive (external) but not my F drive, internal. https://forums.wincustomize.com/336216 {best commu

Well I just tried to run the gadgets that come with the Beta and it seems that after a few reboots they don't run. At least for me.

I've had it installed on my laptop for several days now. Tried some Stardock stuff on it, posted what works, what don't. Prelims. Got sidetracked with some wallpapers and never got back to it.

[quote]mine took 55 mins to dl[/quote] Same here. Cable modem at 6MB/sec. [quote] I seems also that MS may have done away with 'Ultimate Extras'... also another good thing cos most of that is bloat anyhow, like who needs Dreamscene when we have Deskscapes... right![/quote] If it would work...lol.

Reply to A friend and Master Skinner's Mother Passed Away in Community WinCustomize Forums

Shawn, I am truly sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I know she had diabetes, so do I and a few family members. We really appreciate your commitment to diabetes awareness. My Mom passed a year ago this Jan. 17th. She was my best friend. I have been called a mama's boy, I take it as a compliment. I know you and your Mom were close, I feel for you. I know , as you stated, she knew the Lord. So she's not dead, she just moved to a better nieghborhood. People tell me they are sorry for my loss,

[quote]Quick Question: Was it difficult to setup? Or was it fairly smooth? Just curious before i start the installation. [/quote] I think it was the smoothest I've seen, at least for a full install, which I did on my new laptop.Only rebooted twice, i think. Maybe just once, now that I think of it. Let it get updates before installation.

As I stated above, these are preliminary findings as I install. You are correct, fences does not run after reboot.

[quote]It will probably be a few weeks before you get to skin Windows 7 with WindowBlinds.[/quote] Do you think current skins will adapt to 7, or will we have to wait for new skins?

[quote]What resolution are you using? It fits on screen on my machine.[/quote] 1280x800 laptop. But there is no scroll bar for the skins, no matter the res. Even if I autohide the taskbar. Reinstall? I will not try bootskin, thanx!

[quote]The public version of WindowBlinds is not currently Windows 7 compatible. It does run but it has no idea what to do about that new taskbar & startmenu![/quote] Here it opens up but you can't scroll the skins. The window is too big for the screen, it is under the taskbar. It does skin the windows.
