Window Blinds Enhanced build 5.51

PicaView build 2.0 will not display my .jpg or .bmp files when WindowBlinds is loaded

from Stardock Forums
I just downloaded the registered version of WindowBlinds Enhanced v5.51.

I use a utility constantly called PicaView build 2.0 that allows me to right click on a graphic file such as a .jpg or .bmp and it will display the picture in an expanded view and allow me to send, delete, etc.

When this newest build of WindowBlinds is loaded my PicaView no longer displays the graphic file when I right click on it the dispay area is now blank.

I had written in to the forum years ago and a fellow was kind enough to help me out by telling me there was an check box to enable that would allow the PicaView to act normally when WB was loaded but sorry to say I cannot find my notes on this fix.

There is no way I can configure WB to ignore the PicaView as it is a utility when installed becomes part of the O.S. so there is no executable to tell WB to ignore?

O.S. is Windows XP - w/SP-2 and still running Windows Explorer 6.

When I unload WB the PicaView works just fine.

Any help sure would be appreciated.

I believe there is a compatibility switch in picaview.

That app is doing things with menus which are simply incompatible with menu skinning.

Hello Neil,

Well I right clicked on an image and PicaView launched and I went into PicaView options and checked a box called "Compatability mode" and now it displays the immage.

I thank you for your assistance.

Like I was explaining here-to-fore in WB older builds this feature to make PicaView was built into the program? Just wish I could remember the option that had to be checked?

Thanks Again,

John
