wbload problem on WindowBlinds 3.99a(beta)

Greetings,

Is anyone bumping into time-bound problem (Timeout, You are using a time limited build of WindowBlinds 4. This build has expired) when running the latest WB?

I was just wondering if weblod (version 4.0.0.0, created 3/20/2003) contains some restrictions that prohibit me to run WB.

I have to delete this file and invoke WB manually everytime when login (instead of automatically running at start-up).

My previous versions of WB also got losted.

It seems to me that new Stardock Central will create new directory c:/programs/Stardock and keeps all the updates out there. While previous Component Manager will have another place for WB (c:\programs\Object Desktop). These two directories seem not working in sync (so all the links at start-up manual still points to the directory that CM created, instead of linking to the latest one that SDC builds).

Sort of messy in recent WB release. Very disappointed.

Been there,done that DL.Just copy the WB files where you need them.I just did an update,now I am getting backgrounds even though I do not have that feature checked.My page file usage went from 284/311 to 384/400.Even after Dfrag WB loads very slowly where as before after Dfrag it loaded very quickly.I hope WB4 sorts out OK,,kinda gettin weary of setting System Restore dates.We did make that choice though,,we are WB junkies and Guinea Pigz.ar,ar

brazil,

Thanks for the note. You're right that we are WB junkies and Guinea Pigz

Don't get me wrong that I'm going to dump WB. Instead, I'm addicted to it. All I want is to make sure that I don't screw up some WB features when running on Windows XP just because of my ignorance on software stuff.

The beta's do appear to "time-out" - I was forced to upgrade to the next beta build today. Hopefully it won't be long until 4.0 is out.

I had the same problem and now I cant even update to the current version of WB with SDC. I always get an error saying "instalation failed" so I was forced to go back to version 3.5 How do I fix this? I need help...
