When Reinstalling my Windowblinds, I dont enter any serial keys. I just install it from Stardock Central and it takes care of the rest for me.

The only way to eliminate this issue is to do the per applicaion thing and totally exclude it from skinning, even though this program does it s own skinning. Try it!
Go into your system information on Windowblinds. and look for a button about enabling limited per pixel support. The button should be on the bottom right. + Also on the dialog box that you keep getting , there is an option to remember your decision on enabling this so it can do this everytime without asking you the question on every PPB skin
Anything higher then 1024x768 will cause this issue on the 9200 series cards, but a recent update has a beta feature that will attempt to allow this in non supported situations. I tried it and it works!
Followup to this. I just returned it and kept my current configuration intact. Hey if it isnt broken why fix it?
Yes I agree. Stardock support is top notch~
Yes, Dosbox more then likely will run on Windows Vista. I like Dosbox for older Dos Games. I put Dosbox on the C: Drive and install all of my games to a usb 2.0 flash drive
No its not a hit. In fact my Radeon 9250 performed faster then this! I think I recieved a defective card of some sort. More to come......
Polls are okay , but I dont want to be greeted by one every time I sign into the site. Perhaps a poll on the main page with voting buttons?
So...how's it going? Its going steady now...
Im wondering the same thing. On mine sometimes someone elses skins they created appear on my ever so empty created by list once in while... strange.
I admit , im a sucker when it comes to video cards. I usually like to get the cheapest there is if I can get at least some acceptable performance on it. But I ordered this card today. Broke the "im too cheap to buy this" cycle. I would like to hear from whomever owns this card and hear what they have to say about it. Well okay almost broke the im too cheap for this cycle. After all I purchased A Dell Dimension B110 PC :LOL: :SURPRISED:
Eye Candy = Windowblinds = $20.00 = the biggest and most expensive box of candy ive ever bought!
Could be a ...Memory issue. I once bought some ram to upgrade my machine, and when I put it in my machine , it constantly rebooted my machine. It was bad sticks! Even the BIOS kept whining about it. -EDIT- Stupid me didnt read this issue was already solved. But I had to comment about it anyways
Sure seems like it. Ever since I purchased Windowblinds and a Wincustomize Subscription my time always flys by fast thanks to the never ending supply of skins found on Wincustomize. Ive seen other programs that do this this this and that and etc but nothing can come close to what Stardock offers. It is the best value in entertainment for the money. Maybe an even better value then going to the movies and buying expensive snacks <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0 A
Thats a particular issue with the skin DogmaX4 ,Ive seen that happen on mine too reguardless of which build of WB5 was installed.
Neil , your trick worked like a charm. WB5 no longer craps out after my PC has been up for more then 20 mins. But still some skins take 2 to 3 seconds to completely draw the start menu. Ones like Ecliz Deluxe, IIg , Novum OS, etc..... But thats okay. Im just glad the other problem is finally fixed.
I applied the new version this morning. After a reboot, the Skin Selector titlebar was black and there were no scroll bars to use to scroll through the different skins. Additionally attempting to load a WB Skin resulted in nothing happening except making the icons in my quick launch area bigger and making the icons in the system tray bigger as well. This really sux
This happens over time. Most frequently after my computers been up and running for about 15 minutes. but it took longer then that , once 30 minutes. Then when switching to another skin in WBCONFIG , once that skin is switched the titlebar on wbconfig goes black , and then wbconfig goes black , then the system tray , then the taskbar at the bottom itself , start button and menus eventually become black.
If you ask me I think this offer has the word "Paypal Scam" written all over it.
Im not going to get Windows Vista. Too bloated of an O/S. I know lots of people are going to say XP is also bloated but I beg to differ! All I need is XP and WindowBlinds
Ever since the latest version of WindowBlinds, after applying some skins , certain things go black , including the start menu programs, the task bar , and other elements. I have to unload WB in order to see things on my desktop again. I do have the absolute latest and supported driver update for my Radeon 9250 PCI (later versions other then 6.5 arent supported) This behavior also started after the programmers fixed the Start Menu issue. WindowBlinds 5.0 System Info
Im a little late on writing the conclusion to this story , so I would like to say that they fullfilled the right order the second time around and things are okay! Hockey Giant Rules!
I loaded up Stardock Central this evening at 5:59pm and found an update to the program Windowblinds 5. I installed it immediately and rebooted. Problem is fixed! Although wassup with the slightly slow start menu drawing on the skins affected by the previous start menu bug? Otherwise im greatful
