The beta was updated to add support for skinning controls in webpages when viewed via Google Chrome.

After installing the latest update from today I am stuck in constant reboot (i.e., WB keeps telling me it has to reboot).  Is there an easy fix for this beyond an uninstall/reinstall?

Guess specs of some sort would help, not sure what all you want/need:

Vista Home Premium SP1
Dell Inspiron 1520
2 GB RAM
nvidia 8600M GT, driver 175.80


Let me know if you need anything else.

Ruben you should email support@stardock.com. Somehow I don't think anyone sending that file will be approved.

Just an update, I went ahead and did an uninstall/reinstall and am still stuck with the reboot screen.

And a final update, this time it's working, here's my steps ...

  • Backup Skins
  • Uninstall
  • Reboot
  • Delete all Windowblinds folders
  • Reinstall
  • Reboot

Works like a champ.  But, I've had to do this with both of these new beta releases, just hope it doesn't continue with each subsequent release.

I am still convinced that this is an impulse problem - I did the image before using impulse, impiulse wrecked my system with missing wblind.dll and central did its usual great job.

 

Please fix Impulse!!!

Shows for me but clicking update does nothing.

 

Similar issue here; only the download says 'Starting' then stops almost immediately and goes back to Update available.

 

Is there a resolution for this? (other than using SDC)

So, got home late this evening, new update on Impulse.  Download, install, reboot ... guess what's happening again ... any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this?  It has only started happening with these new betas.

Do you have a file called wbsrv.dll in your c:\program files\stardock\objectdesktop\windowblinds folder?

Are VistaSrv.exe and WBVista.exe also in there?

If you go to services is Stardock WindowBlinds listed?

Missing wbsrv.dll, hmmm. Admin rights aren't an issue, wonder why it's not installing that file?

Have vistasrv.exe and wbvista.exe, and service is there and running.

It's not a feed back on 6.30 but on 6.20 and could someone from Stardock have a look over https://forums.wincustomize.com/314082/page/4/#1858364 


Would be cool to get an answer ...

Would be really cool to have an advice (same for ticket support -MNW-134343-  open nearlly 2 weeks ago ...)

Update: Impulse downloaded and installed an update. WB update worked afterwards.

 

Don't know what changes were in the Impulse update, but it fixed the WB update problem.

Hey, I searched through here and couldn't find anything on this yet.... with the latest beta, the folders in the "open" dialog in Adobe CS3 (I can verify the issue with Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash CS3) are sorta...... black. When you mouse over, the "blackness" goes away, but the text becomes all distorted. Hard to explain, so I took a screenie. I've tried multiple skins, the only one I've actually had any luck with was "Diamond" which I already have Vista, and I'm not too fond of the Diamond skin. The skin I'm using below is Sirus, but like I said, it's happening with multiple skins.

weird photoshop

 

I've uninstalled the latest beta, and it goes back to how it should.... weird stuff I tell ya.

Indeed.  This is one of the poorest design decisions ever by Stardock.  Mucho unintuitive.
