Nothing will load...

September 28, 2007 8:40:27 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I recently bought the full stardock program-$50 worth.

Now whenever I download any theme or visual style, nothing changes, just the colors on the toolbar, everything looks just like my regular XP setting.

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.

(Default Monitor) 1 is attached to Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family

Wblind.dll      2007/06/19 10:39:20
Wbsrv.dll      2007/03/13 09:57:52
Wbconfig.exe      2007/06/19 10:43:03
Wbload.exe      2006/03/13 16:54:14
Wbhelp.dll      21
Wbui.dll      2005/12/06 21:29:06
Tray.dll           2006/04/28 18:26:49

I feel like I just lost $50...

You haven't lost anything. It seems that your download did not complete. Uninstall WindowBlinds, reboot, install again, reboot and then post the System Information.

I've rebooted and reinstalled about three times now..

Should I just delete every trace of stardock from my computer, and redownload the whole thing that way?

As Hankers said in #3

Can you post the system information?

Demesne,

It may be that the windowblinds Services didn't get properly added to your System Registry.

ADDING WB SERVICE TO WINDOWS

Copy and paste the following into a Notepad document and save it as wbservice.reg and then open it and say yes to putting it into the registry.
Make sure Notepad doesn't save it with a txt extension.

(start copying line below)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WindowBlinds]
"Type"=dword:00000010
"Start"=dword:00000002
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,50,00,52,00,4f,00,47,00,52,00,41,00,7e,00,\
31,00,5c,00,53,00,74,00,61,00,72,00,64,00,6f,00,63,00,6b,00,5c,00,4f,00,42,\
00,4a,00,45,00,43,00,54,00,7e,00,31,00,5c,00,57,00,49,00,4e,00,44,00,4f,00,\
57,00,7e,00,31,00,5c,00,56,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,53,00,72,00,76,00,2e,\
00,65,00,78,00,65,00,00,00
"DisplayName"="Stardock WindowBlinds"
"Group"="UIGroup"
"ObjectName"="LocalSystem"

Yes, I'm glad to be back, after using that 60 day trial, I almost got sick seeing the regular look.

I need to have a skin on, rofl.

Whether this is good or bad, I have no idea.
