i have a serious WB problem on my hands right now. i use xp SP 2 on my new laptop, and my brother or his g/f got ahold of it while i was at work today, and when i booted up, windowblinds was acting, insane. it won't skin any of the title bars, the color schemes are wrong, the taskbar is non existant, only shows the icons, and the start button doesn't exist anymore. its located at the bottom, but when you hit the win key, it tries to show from the top, but its all black. and doesn't show correctly. i've gone back 2 restore points, to how it was 4 days ago, but that didn't help, i've completely uninstalled, deleted the directory completely and all the theme files for all the skins, and reinstalled, 5 times, and it does this every time now. does anyone have any idea what could be causing it, and how to fix it? btw, i'm using WB 5, and all was working wonderfully this morning when i went to work.
[help]
it wasnt your brother but the warez/crack you are using - if you are using it. Windowblinds seemed to have a so-called "timebomb check", a copy protection that only kicks it after a certain date. Obviously, the person that made the crack didn't notice this and thus everyone using the warez version of WB5 is experiencing problems. Solution: stop using WB5 or buy it.
If you happen to have a non-warez problem, just contact Stardock about ![]()

Judging from Stardocks own forums about this issue, not only Warez-peaps for-whom-we-don't-feel-sorry-at-all but also quite some legit users got harmed by the "timebomb check" and it's rigorious behavior. I guess there are more civillised ways of protecting from the warez, but Brad Wardell & co must have had a field day in learning from learning about all those illegal users suspecting it to be a virus and re-insalling M$ Windows... ![]()
Oh, well allright, allready.
