WB5 and supported Graphics Cards

October 27, 2005 3:24:35 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Is there a list of supported Graphics Cards for WB5? I read somewhere that old cards wouldn't work well or not at all with WB5. I have an ATI Radeon 9000. Is that considered an old card, or would WB5 be fine with it? I know that there's a slew of new cards out there that make my card look puny, so that's why I'm asking.

Don't think theres a list but you could try looking in the Stardock support forum the thread is called WindowBlinds 5 Trouble Already ,check out some of the troubleshoot reports that may give you an idea.

I have an ATI Radeon 9000.


This card with the most recent drivers should adequately support the WB5 features.....I recall seeing somewhere that the ATI/Radeon 9000 series was about the starting point, so it should be okay. It must be remembered that WB5 is still in beta, but you could give it a try and run the 'troubleshooting report' to see if it installed and activated properly. Should you encounter any problems, check the Stardock Support page and the thread Jonep suggested, There are several other related threads there, also.

Thank you all. I didn't have to do any tweaking, and wb5 beta (I think it's 4.96?) works well. I haven't had any trouble yet, and I've had it up and running for two days.

geforce 6200 oc 256mb agp8x works; *running on amd athlon xp 2500+, 1gb ram, 120gb hdd on chaintech mobo
geforce4 mx4000 128mb agp8x works *pretty sure that's the one* - running on amd athlon xp 2600+, 758mb ram, 80gb hdd on abit mobo *spelling?*

both homebuilt systems by me, one is mine, othe rmy sisters, and both run wb5 perfectly - even the older geforce4 one
