New PC - WB Won't Fully Load Skins

August 27, 2006 1:54:23 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
New PC, custom built by Falcon-Northwest. Just got around to installing WB5, latest beta on it.Installed it, along with my other OD apps, via SDC, as always. Rebooted PC after WB installation. Then after the restart, I tried to load Cyclops. No skinning on the title bars, taskbar, and most dialogs. Very few items were skinned - the Wait dialog looked perfect. But nothing else does. I finally had to unload it and restore previous settings.

Thanks for any input.

Here's the Sys Info from WB:

WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

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

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

All skins or just cyclops?

Drivers for what?

And I didn't try all skins, but I tried five of the ones already listed in the WB interface and none of those worked.

Thanks.

Oh, gotcha. I'm on my notebook now. I'll post the driver when I get back to the desktop PC, though I updated to the latest from NVIDIA about three or four weeks ago and I don't see anything newer on their site.

I'll post the details when I get back to the other machine. Though in all honesty, if the solution involves dropping back to a previous driver or firmware, I won't be doing that just to get WB working. The present driver has been tested and is working extremely well with my digital video editing/authoring package. (The previous one did not)

I can't risk that to get WB to work; One helps feed me, while the other is pretty but does nothing else!

Thanks, Sir Zubaz.

Zubaz,

Sorry - didn't mean that in a bad way. Just that I can't afford to change my system setup in a way that will foul up my main productivity applications, only to get WB rendering as it should. While WB does look good, I can't have it up at the expense of anything else!

BTW, I do have the latest driver package from Nvidia: 91.31. 91.28 is the one that was troublesome for my system.

Also, I notice that the WB system info screen shows that I have two of the same monitor, which is not correct. Actually I have one ViewSonic VP2130 as my primary monitor, and one ViewSonic VA1930W monitor as the secondary; one for the application(s) I'm working with, and the other for viewing my edited video files as I work on them.

Where does WB pull that info from? The Nvidia Control Panel shows the display config correctly.

Thanks again, Zubaz.

I didn't take it in a bad way. I totally understand the difference between need an want.

Dunno . . question for Neil I guess.

Wish I could help more but it looks like it's beyond "community" help and might be Stardock support time.

Can you post a screenshot? That helps sometimes.
