WindowBlinds update no longer runs at bootup

I can't find the option to set it back but it no longer automatically runs at boot time since installing an update a few days ago. From the about menu:

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 4.8
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 4.8

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.3 (build 306 x86 - Vista Edition) - 64 bit OS

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

What changed and how can I restore it without doing a system restore?

I should add, it appears to be enabled in the msconfig startup services.

The update is broken. See this thread. LINK Your best bet is to go to https://store.stardock.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/myaccount/products and download the release version.

Or, if your subscription is active, you can roll back via Impulse unchecking the 'show prerelease versions' then closing and reopening Impules. Then select WB7, and 'shift+right click' and then selecting 'Verify installation'. let that run and it will show it's 'not installed correctly' and do the update. You'll have to reboot after that.

That will give you the last stable release. You can then go and download at the 'store' at the link in Wiz's response.

Taking a chance, I updated my NVDIA driver and it appears to be working again after a reboot. Not sure if it'll last but I'll try it and let everyone know. Thanks for the quick replies!

I rebooted and WB did stasrt again but it also gave me an access violation that seems to have prevented OD+ 2from displaying any docs even though it shows in the systejm tray. Guess I will roll back WB.

Ok, back to normal and at least I updated my video driver.
