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

In Impulse, click on the menu orb and uncheck "show prerelease versions."

at the top of the page you'll see where it says my account... click on that, and then there is a tab that says registrations. That gives you the links to all of your files, and from there you don't have to use impulse to download them...

Sounds like a conflict with security apps, try setting AVG 8 to 'exclude wbconfig.exe and wbload.exe. You might also want to disable or turn off the tuneup utilites 2008.

Tuneup Utilities 2008 includes a UI service or 2. I'm not sure how you would disable a service in Vista but, that could be a source of problems.

I have no issues with AVG . . install that back and see what you get. Then look for an alternative to the functions of TU2k8 (or options to make it play nice)

I've been a regular user of Tuneup Utilities 2006. I've also tried the Tuneup Utilities 2008 30 day free trial. I run XP SP3 and disable the UI features of Tuneup Utilities with msconfig and by running services.msc. It starts a service called Tuneup Design Expansion which is done with this line in the bootup C:WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs.

I don't know how Tuneup Utilities is installing in Vista or if Vista has a services.msc but, I'm thinking the culprit is Tuneup Utilities 2008 and some type of modification it's making to your Windows UI.

If you can disable that function in TU2008 then you should still be able to use it's other features. I have TU2006 running that way on XP SP3.

im running AVG8 on vista 64 with Wb running side by side.. Ive experienced No issues. I would venture to say its prolly the other app..

First of all thanks guys for all the help

i now have AVG 8 installed and all is ok so it must be Tuneup 2008.

this sounds a good idear.....
thanks

Update yes vista has (msconfig and services.msc.) so i will install tuneup2008 and see if i can do what you have done....

For logonvista try these
1. make sure wbocx.ocx is registered
open an administrative command prompt by typing "cmd" into the start menu search box and right-clicking on "CMD Shell", then clicking Run as administrator. Then, run this command:

regsvr32 wbocx.ocx

2.Delete the Folder "Skins" from the logonvista folder located in Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDesktop for me
It will be recreated but without the files that stop logonvista workin
