Wallpaper (login/every hour) not applying

March 9, 2008 7:06:14 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,

I have an issue with Windowblinds not applying the conditional (login or every hour) wallpaper to the desktop.  It will happily change the wallpaper from the "change my wallpaper" tab, but the settings on the "Random wallpaper settings" tab never seem to actually work.

Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 - WB info below:

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.2
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 5.9

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 88 x86 - Vista Edition) - 64 bit OS

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX

Wblind.dll      2008/03/06 19:11:20
Wblind64.dll      2008/03/06 19:11:24
Wbsrv.dll      2008/02/13 16:15:22
Wbconfig.exe      2008/02/20 13:52:33
Wbload.exe      2008/02/14 11:05:14
Wbhelp.dll      2007/08/27 11:54:07
Tray.dll           2007/09/12 17:58:21
Wbload.dll           2007/09/26 11:53:28
Screen.exe      2008/02/13 16:15:18

Where should I start looking for the cause?

 

Thanks,

 

Sam

And, as is always the case with these things, it suddenly fixed itself (the hour;y change now works - I'll test the login change)

possible reasons for no change:

desktop icons hidden

another program with wallpaper control in conflict (DesktopX, Natural Desktop, etc)

More info:

It is working (and probably always was, but I think the issue is that the random wallpaper changes are not random - it always starts with the same wallpaper and changes them in the same sequence (this is why I thought "change at login" was not working - it probably is changing, but it's changing to the same wallpaper each time I log in.)
