Performance issues with 009

December 26, 2005 1:28:04 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
After updating to 009 my PC is very slow to load or unload WB and applying different themes. I also noticed that my ram usage has gone way up. If I unload WB, my taskbar and user pane is black. I have never had a hacked version of WB on my box either.

It's a Beta version. Best thing would be post all the information you can on your machine and include the text on the System Information panel from the Windowblinds Configuration window. Then roll back to whichever previous version worked best for you.
Screenshots help as well.

UPDATE:
I started uninstalling all the newest stuff on the PC untill performance came back. Turns out that the Philips drivers for my new MP3 player was the culprit. I'm gonna reinstall McAfee Firewall and Virusscan now, then reinstall 009. Wish me luck!

McAfee and 009 are installed now and all is fine!

If theme changing takes a long time, it usually means there is an app on the PC thats hung.

I think it's IconX I unloaded IconX and tried to load another skin and it was much faster.

Meowy's Fix: Reboot.
