WindowBlinds causes history, and favorites in IE to lag and flash, fix?

February 14, 2005 3:52:55 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I downloaded windowblinds and a bunch of skins but no matter which skin i choose everytime i select history or favorites in Internet Explorer the box that comes up on the side flashes really fast the whole time it is open and if i click the folders to open them to see my links it takes about 30 seconds for the folders to open to get to my links to click on, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I have the same problem, I have Windowblinds 4.5, XP Home, and my favorites bar flashes if a skin is active. On my old XP Pro PC, with Windowblinds 4.4, this didn't happen. Does anyone know how or why this is happening? Please help

Do any of you have any toolbars? Im not sure but that may be the cause? I doubt it as my favorites bar is fine with the default XP skin.

I have the same problem when using version 4.5, and also the textsize of the toolbars names (in the taskbar) is set to normal in display properties, but shows up as big, witch causes the text to be cut off 2-3 pixels at the bottom.

Maybe I should just download version 4.4, as that has always worked for me...

I am also having the same problems even with a clean installation of XP Pro with Sp2 and loading windowblinds 4.5 as the first application. Where did you find the 4.4 version of Window Blinds?

If you have SDC you can restore the archive.

If you have it set to archive....the last released version of WB is 4.50.044 and I've got XP SP2 running it....no issues. You might want to check to make sure you have no overrides setup in WBConfig. and that your display setting is set to 96DPI in display properties=>Settings=>Advanced Settings=>General. Also try enabling or disabling Hyperpaint in WBConfig. and it wouldn't hurt to check if your videocard drivers are up to date. Those are the things I would try if you are using a released version of WB vs. a Beta version.
