WindowBlinds always displays Windows Classic

Needing some help badly.

June 3, 2006 5:25:56 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
First of all...posting what I get told to post.

WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have 2 monitors.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to RADEON X800/X850 Series
(Default Monitor) 2 is attached to RADEON X800/X850 Series - Secondary

Wblind.dll 2006/03/21 13:33:46
Wbsrv.dll 2005/12/20 22:57:44
Wbconfig.exe 2006/03/19 14:33:44
Wbload.exe 2005/12/21 00:04:40
Wbhelp.dll 2004/09/18 15:37:00
Wbui.dll 2005/12/06 21:29:06
Tray.dll 2005/11/02 13:28:26

Now...onto my problem.

For some reason, when I start up my computer WindowBlinds will work fine for say...3 minutes (roughly, not exactly) during which time my skin (MotoXP 81) will work perfectly...but after around about 3 minutes or so for some reason the titlebar, then the taskbar and everything else will revert to the Windows Classic look. I don't have any idea at all what's going wrong, but I'd really like to fix it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention...my operating system is Windows XP Professional Edition

This a trial version?

You have some old dates. If it's the trial, appears the time is up.

If you have a paid version, I suggest updating via SDC.
If you didn't use SDC to install, I suggest saving your skins, uninstall, reboot, download and install via SDC.

SDC = Link
Don't forget to register your serial prior to downloading WB, else I think it will give you a trial. If you're a current ODNT customer your serial for ODNT will cover WB.

Nope, it's the paid version. It's strange if there are old dates, as I only just bought WindowBlinds and so used the link they provided me with to download it, which I had assumed would be the latest version (whoever is in charge of those e-mails may want to look into getting the new version linked to new subscribers ). I'll try using SDC to install it later today, as I'm too busy to uninstall it just now, and see if the new version fixes my problem.

after you install SDC and enter the serial - if you have 'show pr-release' unchecked at them it should should you 5.01.006 ( i think)

if you have it show pre released it should show 5.01b[b].004

If you had the trial version before and did not un-install it prior to installing the paid version it could have left some files behind which would give you the discrepancies in the dates.

After you un-install what you have now and reboot, then install the paid version and reboot, you should be up and running. If not please post the WindowBlinds Configuration System Info again.
