That's easy.....Register it

Stardock hired Jesus, MAN talk about tech support!

@ IP!

It's not as easy as that. What exactly do you need to register windowblinds?

As far as Tryzub - how is it that I'm a freeloader? I'm using a free program on a computer which I use for both personal and business use at home.

Is it possible to have trial software with no annoying popups? All that does it get the user mad enough to quit using the program and not register it (which is something that a lot of people can't do anyway) I had to unload windowblinds and quit using it and start using StyleXP - a 100% free program with free downloads.

BTW - why is it so hard to type in this message box? The text cursor keeps popping up to the top of the box.

StyleXP isn't a 'program'...it's an unauthorized dll hack that enables the use of simplistic unsigned veriations of the default Window GUI look...nothing more.

The purpose of a 'reminder' is to remind you [curiously enough] to register [pay for] the shareware program you obviously were sufficiently interested in as to install it on 2 computers.

Were you to register the proggy you'd bypass/eliminate your solitary reason for complaint about a program that is far superior in function and capability than what can be achieved by a simple library hack that very probably voids your EULA which can be of real concern on a commercially used computer....

Oh and i forgot to mension StyleXp is a program :/ and is authorized and Microsoft knows it. However, they make you pay for it after 30 days.. O well my friend and i urged out a cd key generator but i don't use it.. sometimes it slows down the computer while im playing Games/Using internet. I'd rather keep the Blue Winxp style However, i need the wallpaper and Ikonpackager from WC with out question

WasupBoy cries I CAN'T SEE THE SCROLLBARs!! NOooooo!

What's a tad ironic is when in a previous thread Bliss asked if WB is worth buying Oil's response was that he wouldn't "pay for garbage." So, if it's "garbage" why the heck is it on his PC to begin with? And in a unregistered, feature limited version with a known nag screen? And then he complains because (horrors) the nag screen comes up during a business presentation and he was "embarrassed?"

Hey, if someone is doing a presentation for a client one would think the common sense thing to do for a true pro is to ensure the only software running is appropriate in a business situation where you don't want to look like a bozo. Whether it's WB shareware or a dancing nudie animation with a clock in its stomach, turn it off, unload it, uninstall it, whatever.

Another instance of a user induced issue being blamed on a software program.

It's obvious Oil will get no sympathy from any of us. Suffice to say, pay for the shareware program or stop using it. As someone else mentioned, StyleXP is not freeware either. In addition, if you took the time to truly try WindowBlinds 4.x, you might find it useful...especially without the nags screens.

Alexandrie, what is the name of that skin in your profile?

The DJ....that would be 'PixOS'....as it shows...

BTW, firewalls are for blocking unauthorized internet access to and from your computer and popup stoppers work on scripts on web pages. How do you figure either one of these kinds of programs would stop "nag screens" contained in a shareware product on your machine?

If you're using the actual StyleXP program (which is not freeware) you might be interested in the "help..." thread here where someone neither registered (i.e., paid for it) nor uninstalled it before the trial period expired.

Oil2003: Style XP is not free. The hack for unsigned styles which you appear to have is free and is not what people are referring to as Style XP.

The nag screen is there for exactly the purpose you state. It's there to remind you that you've been using the software for long enough to know whether you like it and want to purchase it or don't like it an want to take it off the PC.

Unfortunately people are not honest enough to just give them an app and trust that if they like it they will pay and if they don't they will take it off, so Stardock is forced to use a nag screen.

As you so ably demonstrate they still need to, as if there was no nag screen you would keep happily using the software without even thinking of registering. Even with a nag screen you still don't think of registering but immediately start looking for the alternatives.
