Just bought WB, having problems

June 27, 2007 12:50:16 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I just bought WindowBlinds literally about 20 minutes ago, and I'm having a small but annoying issue with running the program. Actually, two problems. One: every time I start up wb, it asks for my registration info. No matter how many times I've done this, it still asks when I open wb. Two: even though I've applied the setting, I can't get any icon in the system tray for wb. Any idea what's going on or how I can fix this?

System info as reported by WindowBlinds:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86))
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 6200

Please disregard the above post. I got everything working now. Turns out that Windows XP was just misbehaving and not attributing any kind of access to the installed files. Once I manually set those up, WindowBlinds began to work properly.

Well, I don't know if it will work for you but you can always give it a try. I went into the WindowBlinds installation folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds). I then selected all the files/folders in there, right-clicked and went to Properties. In there, I went to the Security tab and selected each of the groups/user names and assigned "Full Control" to each of them. Once I finished that I hit Apply, then OK, and everything now works. If you're using Windows XP and don't see that "Security" tab, you can use this program to reveal it:

FileSecPatch (it's at the bottom of the page and listed as "Security for folders and files.")
