Well, thanks for the reply, kitty, but I have done that about 6 times now... I would purchase the full version - I'm assuming that works completely - but I am reluctant because the trial version is causing so many problems for me.

I am sorry to bump this, but I have not had any further luck, and I've googled and searched the forum to no avail. After installing WB6 (trial) as administrator, rebooting, and then running wbconfig.exe, I get the following message: [link="http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/bg1256/screenshot-18.png"]WWW Link[/link] I do not have any anti-spyware/malware/virus software running during install or when attempting to run wbcofig.exe What other services could b

[quote]There is a solution to this. Something about the service itself not properly installing under Vista sometimes, which causes the reboot over and over prompt. I can't remember the exact fix, but if you search the forum, it should pop up. I had the same problem once, and now, no problemo.[/quote] Thanks for this, I will search the forum when I have time to peruse the results. @SGT: Thanks for the tip, but I don't want to disable UAC on my machine. As far as I'm

Yes, but I have no idea what that could be. I don't have any virus software running during the install (and it's not set to run at startup), so that couldn't be it. I don't have any adware/malware programs running (not even Windows Defender). I don't have any registry protections running. I'm running as full admin. Is there something I'm missing? The only thing I can think of is that there is a problem with the trial version... but that in itself make

I changed my account to an administrator account. Then, I rebooted. Then, I installed the trial version of windowblinds again. It automatically rebooted after install, attempted to run at startup, but it did not work. It simply gave me a dialog box telling me to reboot my computer again. I did reboot, and the same thing happened. I suspect windowblinds does not work with SP1, or at least the trial version does not, which makes me apprehensive to purchase the full versi

Thanks for the post, alpha-prime, but that did not work for me. I have also switched my account to an administrator account, and that is not working either. I will try reinstalling as an administrator to see if that changes things. I sure hope Stardock gets this fixed... I surely won't be buying this product if it doesn't work with Vista.

That's unfortunate. However, I did input the admin credentials when installing and running the software... shouldn't that get around that particular problem? Perhaps I should just enable full admin privileges for my user account?

In short, here is the problem I'm having: I install the software, using the default set up (to C:\Program Files...). I reboot as instructed. Upon rebooting, nothing happens. So, I click in the desktop icon which has appeared, which requires administrative rights. Then I get a dialog box telling me the system must be rebooted before WB will work, or I should disable virus software before installing. I have done both of those. The user account I am using is not

Hello to everyone here, I have been using Object Dock for a few years now, and I was hoping to try WindowBlinds on my newish Vista laptop. I like the Aero interface, but it gets boring just as everything else does. I downloaded the trial version of WindowBlinds, and it says it's Vista compatible; however, I installed and reinstalled, disabled virus software, disabled ad-software, etc., but I could not get it working. This obviously worried me, because I don't want to
