HP Envy theme problems

from Stardock Forums

Hello --

I really like the HP Envy theme that comes with the Envy 15, but it seems to create performance problems after a while.  Right now, for instance, my cursor stutters and drags when I pass it over the minimize/maximize/close buttons on the top of any window.

The only way I've been able to solve the problem is to unistall/reinstall MyColors.  But then the problem comes back...

MyColors is installed correctly? Was it installed before WindowBlinds?

Do you use sleep mode? My wife's dell seems to have issues after a few days that clear up with a reboot....I'm convinced it has to do with the hibernation.

Thanks for the quick queries and replies!

I'm running Win 7 64-bit.  MyColors comes pre-installed on the Envy 15; there is a WindowBlinds folder, but no actual program or .exe with that name (and no WindowBlinds entry in the progams directory.)  Is there a way I can download and install WindowBlinds properly?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled MyColors, which solves the problems for a while, but then the stuttering comes back.  Sometimes the installation ends up interfering with the Aero functions in Win 7 as well.

A reboot doesn't solve the issues for me, unfortunately.

What version of MyColors do you have?
