I've just about had it NOW!!!!!

Published on June 22, 2008 By Robbie_Boy In WindowBlinds

since i downloaded and paid $$$ for Object Desktop ultimate i've been fighting with Windowblinds, I have all the latest drivers so it is'ent that .

this is what is happening i load a skin, some times it will load some times it dosent, but if it dose after a restart the skin is all messed up (only half a skin, differnt skin or diffrent parts of two skins).

I've un-installed and deleted all the files in the windowblind file and re-installed again 3 times with my virus scanner turn off and still no go.....

And now i've just about had enough of it all.......

any idear's would be great before i ask for my money back..............

And i have NEVER had pro's with windowblinds before..

Thanks robbie boy

I would ask them to send you version 6.0, as i,and many more, have had a lot of trouble trying to get version 6.1 to work...

I suggest updating your video drivers. Yours look to be at least 6 months old.

I hope we are not at the refund stage yet.......

I would love to get it fixed if i can.....

I've been using this software years on an old crapy desktop, i would hope it would work on a $2000.00 Notebook!!!

do you have nview turned on?

Robbie_Boy

on Jun 23, 2008

Where would that be...

Nview is in the properties dialog where you change your wallpapers and stuff it has it's own tab... another thing you can try is to install a newer version of windowblinds, you have the last public version, but there is a beta on Object Destkop now... maybe that version has a fix for your problem. you can also try tweaking the Windowblinds settings, maybe try disabling per pixel window borders and things like that... change the settings to the very basics see if that fixes it. If not Stardock support usually has an answer.... everything I've ever asked they knew what was going on...

to disable per pixel borders the box is on the same page where you got the file information from....

Hope so mate.....

I just don't understand why one min all is ok then it's all over the place...... (

did you try to disable the per pixel borders? run it without that and see what happens... you could try uninstalling also using impulse ... then download it directly from the download link in the email stardock sent you, or there is a place here on wincustomize with all of purchases and where to download them, you don't have to use Impulse to do it, and I would recommend not using it for now...

so try these two things

1.) disable per pixel borders (might not do anything, but a simple thing to try)
2.) Uninstall using Impulse, reinstall directly without Impulse...

I'm here for you if those don't work....
