It's been less than 3 hours here since it went up. And it's suddenly got a lot more users than in testing.

We've done a 4.90a build with a fix we were able to find for the nvidia driver issue. Please update to that and it should sort the over-bright saturation, can't drag the window issue. Make sure you reboot.

There's a problem reported with the winzip main interface, but not the context menus. We'll be looking at that. One or two reports above of issues with machines prior to SP2 (rundll32 issues?), will check into that as well. This isn't an x64 beta build. The systray icon is not present in this build. We'll look into the AIM Messenger:Mate problem. If you have ghost images on the taskbar, screenshot that and note if locking/unlocking the taskbar makes any difference.

If in doubt, set the skin to classic, remove the files from the WindowBlinds dir (you can keep the subdirs with your skins), rename any that are left, reboot, remove any files that were left in the root of the WB dir, reinstall 4.90a or later, reboot. Run wbconfig.exe to select a skin and get started.

Activate.exe from the SDCentral dir needs to be able to get to the internet at install time to activate the beta build (there will be a sig.bin in the directory after it does that). You can right-click on the WB5 item in Stardock Central and force it to try and activate, but do it too many times and it'll stop. Email kwilas@stardock.com if you pass the threshold. Or if the sig.bin isn't there, find the activate.log from the SDCentral dir and email it to kwilas@stardock.com.

If Stardock Central is exiting at the end of the install, you didn't let it update to the latest version. Please let it do so or reinstall it from http://storage.stardock.com/files/sdcentral_setup.exe.

These files should be in the WindowBlinds dir. There are others, but these are the ones with the mojo, so to speak.
