Reply to Unable to install windows blinds 10 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Are you using Object Desktop Manager to download and install? If so, try going to your downloads page in the Stardock Store, download and run the installer on its own. ODM isn't all that reliable. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

First off, It's DeskScapes, not Deskspace, secondly, being rude and demanding won't gain any points and will result in less forum help, not more. These forums are mostly occupied by users of SD software and isn't the preferred way of contacting support. I'd try installing/activating with all Antivirus/antimalware apps disabled first. if that doesn't help, you'll need to contact support via email.....and try a little patience.

[quote who="Wet Monkey" reply="63" id="3627427"] Purchased and installed..no problems, everything skins correctly except the Win 10 start menu which does not skin at all. Am I meiising something here? [/quote] [quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="62" id="3627399"] The Windows 10 startmenu is not designed to be skinned. Microsoft chose to make it that way unfortunately.

Reply to IconPackager 5 - Icons set wrongly in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

That icon handler key fix is only for .exe files and is a working fix for blank icons, the OP's problems are much deeper than that. IP hoses Windows 8.1 which is why it isn't listed as compatible with that OS. If support does have a fix, he should contact them. Icon Packager should be blocked from installing on non-compatible OSes. I believe it is for Win 10.

[quote who="ALMonty" reply="3" id="3627052"] Does that really work? [/quote]Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It's worth a shot before he has to do a complete OS install. It would be helpful if you'd post where he can find the icon cache folder, I can't find that info ATM. He could also try a restore point but that too isn't always reliable. I guess this issue goes back a long way: <a href="https://forums.wincustomize.com/439211/page/2/#3568

Reply to Advice re purchase DONE in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Looking to get an inexpensive laptop, mainly for word processing, text editing. [/quote] That won't require a huge hard drive but I'd still look for one with at least 320/500 GB storage. Also you'll want at least 4 GB's of Ram since it will most likely be a 64 bit version of Windows.

Open Icon Packager and go to the Settings tab. At the bottom are 3 buttons. Rebuild Icon Cache, Repair shell icons and Repair icon images. Hit each of those and reboot. It may take several tries to get them all straightened out.

Reply to Installed WB10 and it opens and immediately closes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Disable any AV program you have running, then redownload the installer and try agin. I recommend reverting back to Default Windows GUI, deactivate the WB license in WB UI, Uninstall WB, reboot, THEN install WB 10. Yeah, I know, a lot of steps but from my experience, it was needed to get the correct version number to show in About WB and in the systray. YMMV P.S. It was worth it, I'm really liking the new look.
