Problem after reboot

from Stardock Forums
Hi

I Have WindowBlind 5.50.021.
Sometimes after the reboot of my PC, I don't see the theme I have choose in WindowBlind but the Windows default theme.
To solve the problem I must launch Windowblind apply the Windows defaut theme & apply the theme I want (Acrylic).
So if anyone can help me that would be sympathetic.

Thank

PS : Sorry for my english, I'am French

Which OS are you using?

Could you post the information from the WB system information page please.

How often does this happen?

Your WB files look right. Problem could be related to your Omega drivers. SD will not guarantee successful function of WB without WHQL drivers. My suggestion... try the ATI ones and see where you are. If the problem goes away you have your answer, if not, you have ammo against claims that it could be Omega driver related.

Ok
I will test with official ATI drivers.
I repost here if the problem is not solved

I'm running the Current Omega Drivers on an X1600 512mb and I haven't had any problems. In fact they seem to have cleared up an issue where my screen gets red scanlines, computer freezes and system reboots all by itself which I'm convinced is related to the graphics card.

Your video card is different so that's already one too many variables. (i.e. You're not comparing apples to oranges.)

Repost the info page with the new drivers.

I've ran into this before myself, but it was on a older P3 PC with a junky Intel video chipset. It eventually went away, but I think it went away because WB got updated a while back... I don't think I've had that problem since I went to WB5.1 on that PC. Have you tried it with a different skin or reinstalling WB?

I test with eminence & DogmaX skins and there is the problem too.
I don't test to réinstall WB. I will test

Just for giggles, put a check under Don't user Per Pixel on any Skin and see if that fixes your issues.

Can the virusscanner hold the launch of windowblinds? of maybe the firewall, especially if you use zonealarm, that just blocks everything (in the beginning when you install zonealarm).

After the réinstall the problem is still here

I'll test this

I don't use ZoneAlarm. I use Kerio 2.15 as firewall and Avast Pro as antivirus.
