"Trouble loading skin bitmaps"

June 7, 2006 1:46:53 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Everytime or skin i use for window blinds it says "WindowBlinds is having trouble loading the skin bitmaps" on every icon unless you are using the plain XP theme. Anyone know how to fix this because it sucks.

Go to WB config.
Click on System Info in lower left corner.
Paste results here. It can help.

I can't say if it's cracked or not . . . I keep meaning to copy the specs when Neil identifies one but never do.

I DO get susbicious when asking for the data is like pulling teeth though. -=sigh=-

In case you aren't a thief . . . . the file dates are not correct. Uninstall WB. Reboot. Install stardock central. Install WB from there.

I am sorry to say that the files in question do not match up with files Stardock have released.

If you purchase WindowBlinds then this problem will go away.

From the Eula:
YOU MAY NOT:
1. Copy and distribute the SOFTWARE
or any portion of it except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
2. Sublicense, rent, lease or transfer your
personal registering number.


I think that means you gotta get your own serial # - see link in #16 for more info.

oh darn im so sorry i didnt memorize the stardock handbook, im going to hell.

Its not like i pirated it for nothing any how, i paid for it with cash no matter what that is still money, it apparently wont work but i have to sort that out myself. Have respect or dont be a smartass. I'm not one of those guys downloading this on kazaa.

No one is being a smart-ass . . but in some countries that EULA is a binding contract . . it pays to know what you are getting. And as for buying it with cash . . Stardock doesn't see any of that money. And unless you "friend" deleted his copy and key either you or he owe Stardock some cash.

WB is a great product . . I hope you get a chance to pick it up.

Now feed the troll so he'll be happy with you later.

As I said previously, the files do not match with files released by Stardock.

It is almost certainly a 'cracked' copy which will never work as it appears to be a mix of modified 5.0 and 5.01 files and the end result will be WB cannot load its bitmaps.

If you believe your copy is legit then please e-mail support@stardock.com including the sig.bin from your WB directory & the e-mail used to purchase WB and serial number for WindowBlinds.  In order to install WB you would have already need those bits of information.

$19.95 straight from Stardock, plus you get a year of updates.

plus, if I'm not totally mistaken...if your downloads are limited due to visitor status, I believe that cap is raised on WB skins - if you purchased WB (from Stardock).
