Vista does not like WB6!


Recommended Posts

HI, I did not find any threads based on my problem......I have WindowBlinds 6.0 and every time I select a skin...it changes everything to the default Windows Classic....nothing else but that eerrrrr tech support really sucks at Stardock- they always have!

I have Windows Home Prem

Intel integrated chip- I don't remember but it's pretty good!

3gb ram

thanks

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? I used to have this issue and that's what fixed it.

(sorry for my bad english... it needs a lot of improval *g*)

If youre using your computer for a long time every day, and are a power user, youre running into problems every day.

Show stoppers which after (contacting support guys) lead into removing the product.

Done it with WB5, then bought WB6 after talking to the support, needed to uninstall WB6, gave the patches a try... nothing changed and no feedback...

Some support guys also tend to delete bug reports (seeking reasons for closing instead listening to customers), especially Curt Hendzell.... David Marquis seems to be one of their better guys.

There are many bugs... everywhere... even Impulse is error prone... David has passed a few to the devs, and some more important ones are beeing trivialized... Especially if youre updating a lot, you see Impulse to corrupt its downloads a lot.

This behavior killed my Impulse on update, killed WB, killed my Explorer as Fences got updated with the corrupt data... after that ive ended with a crashing, iconless Explorer.

The only answer i get... uninstall->reinstall... but none seems to be interrested into bug fixing. even if i offer to run debug tools and versions or help them.

This is no trolling... some of my fixes where included in WB and that was ok... for example the fact that WB accessed the disk on every mouseover and every small messagebox or menu that opened... or the fact that Impulse clipped its text...

I like Stardock... and the biggest part of this is cause of Brad Wardells success and his visions and ideas that inspires me.

If it's a somewhat recent integrated graphics chip, it really shouldn't matter. I have WB running on a Netbook with integrated graphics, not a big deal.

If you have a purchase copy of WindowBlinds, you can contact support@stardock.com with your system information and they will assist you. :)
