Still no Vista x64 support?

Still no Vista x64 support?

Windowblinds is like Stardock's flagship product, but we still don't even have a beta with x64 support?! Instead we get Tweakvista (which completely hosed my OS and forced me to reinstall Vista from scratch) and new builds of LogonVista (which offers no improvements over the betas, which worked absolutely perfectly anyway). Then there are previews for a new Stardock Central, even though the current one works perfectly fine. I'm sure OD 2008 is going to be great, but it would be nice if 2007 worked, first (IconPackager doesn't completely work right in Vista, though it works well enough for my purposes). Progress on other programs is great, but there hasn't been any word or even an estimate on when we can expect Windowblinds to work. Has Stardock completely abandoned this product? WB and Iconpackager are the sole reasons I have an Object Desktop subscription, and Microsoft is really pushing the 64-bit OS (which I think is great, even though some of their own products like OneCare don't work). I don't see the point in renewing if the programs aren't going to work, especially WB and IP. The only other app I use is ObjectDock, which for some reason isn't included in Object Desktop, so I had to buy that separately, anyway.

: The 64 bit Vista version of WB came out on the 19th June.


It crashes during boot-up ...
taking 2-4 boots before starting up
had to unload it ....

any ideas why ???

There is one thing i was thinking though , with Vista 64bit
some programs ( to work properly ) have to be run with
adminstrator rights ( by right clicking on the file
at download ) could this be a possible problem since
it gets downloaded through OD and ya can't do that ???

Just tossing an idea out there ???

^^^^^^^^ I have just made the switch to x64 and WB works fine for me- at least for now. I am really surprised at how much of my x86 stuff works and it does seem to be a smoother running OS.
