Please be aware that WindowBlinds 5 is not compatible with WindowFX 2.11 or 2.19.

and I'm guessing anything in between

sometimes an updated driver isn't the answer...sometimes it's a rollback

I suspect your problem is the DEP feature of XP SP2.

If you disable that and reboot then you should be ok, or update to the later beta releases.

I have tried to run in safe mode xp sp2 and FX runs ok. Degrading video driver to VGA in normal mode don't give results. Uhhhh.. What's such unsafe in normal mode in SP2 forces FX to run wrong??

In what way did you disable DEP? Through excluding the app or through boot.ini?
