Problem with Windows Blinds Enhanced

It's not working properly

from Stardock Forums

Hey I just bought Windows Blinds Enhanced 6.3 and it isn't working right you can tell by the picture here. I know its nothing wrong with my Wndows Vista becuase with the trial version it works 100 percent I have uninstalled the trial and put this one on and it half way works things come up in windows that aren't working right. I even installed a clean restore backup before I put on the trial then put on the bought version with the serial number. so I know its not my system messing Windows Blinds up. I feel a little ripped off now if anyone could help or if not I'm gonna throw Windows Blinds in the trash and take it as a loss. thanks to anybody that would like to help.

I'm pretty computer savvy as well I been building computers and messing around with operating systems for awhile now. I am just new to stardock products and just didn't understand Windows Blinds I guess it works alot different then anything else. haha

I had a very similar problem, many of my windows were not getting titlebars, and usually the theme would not be applied at all.  I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled through impulse, still the same problem.  What I did that finally fixed it was I told Impulse to install beta versions.  That did the trick.

I had the same problem with Bootskin on my XP Dell PC: Downloaded it, made a restore point, rebooted and installed Bootskin. When I rebooted again, XP crashed & kept crashing at about where a pre-selected test skin was supposed to appear during startup.

I couldn't get back into my PC until I uninstalled Bootskin in safe mode.

Seems enough ppl use Bootskin without problems so I'm not calling it a buggy app & I doubt it's a Dell issue.

 

Oh, well..just one of those things.

az0th, bootskin is pretty much a hit and miss program, depending on your computer bios it will either work or not work. there are 3 versions of bootskin you can try, but as the program is no longer supported if none of them work your out of luck :)
