It's messed SOMETHING up.

from Stardock Forums
Alright, so I had the trial version of WindowBlinds for awhile. The other day the theme I was using suddenly went strange (very simplistic, all the details and changes were missing). I figured "okay, I must have ran out of time." I liked the program so I bought the full thing hoping to get my theme back.

But no. It looks the exact same when I try to apply it. And when I try to apply my normal Windows XP blue theme (the new, NOT the classic) I get this.

Did you uninstall the trial version first, then reboot, then install the full version, reboot, then use?

If you post your system information from Windowblinds configuration it will help diagnose your problem. It could be you have a mix of files from the trial and full version.

Err... not quite.
It more or less went uninstall>reinstall>reboot .... reboot... reboot... check the files, reboot and then once it finally stopped asking me to reboot, it did this.

Check this.... Right Click "MyComputer" > "Properties" > "Advanced" > "Performance" - Then Scroll the box in that window all the way down. Then Verify that the "Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons" box is checked.

If this doesnt work, then i'm not sure what it could be.

You need to reboot after uninstalling.
