Talk about annoying..

December 17, 2005 5:26:03 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Well, I'm having a problem with my Windowblinds (It's wb5).

It decided today it wanted to eat up 100% of my CPU usage. As a result, I can't do anything on my computer. I'm currently running in safe mode, because in normal made wb5 takes up all my CPU usage. Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this?

I am going to assume the skin is painting ok.

If you open taskmanager, what app does it show using all the cpu? 

Also have you installed anything new today?

I can't check the system info because I can't even open up the WB Config unless I feel like waiting about 20 minutes for it to open. I think it's version 5.0

I know it's WB because I disabled it on startup, and it was running fine. It's only slow when WB is loaded. It won't even load task manager without taking 5 mintutes (literally).

No, I haven't installed anything new today.

Yes, I've installed the most recent updates. That wasn't today, but would that be the problem?

I've figures out, the problem is it can't/won't display the skins properlly. Some parts will be skinned, others wont.

I had that *exact* same problem.

Was a wack skin. I went a litle crazy and deleted my profile to fix it, but all it was was the skin.
