Unable to apply any skins with WB6 beta and Vista Business

from Stardock Forums
After installing the beta of WB6 and rebooting Vista Business, I am unable to apply any skins. After choosing a skin and clicking Apply my changes, WB6 goes thru the motions but nothing happens even thought it appears to be finished applying the skin. I have since un-installed WB6 and reinstalled WB5.51; skins apply just fine as before. Here are my computer details (after re-installing WB5.51):

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 3.6

Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 5.9

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 110 x86 - Vista Edition))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Thanks for any help you can provided.

Since 6 is the one not working, I'm guessing the system info from that would be more helpful

I just started thinking the same thing. I'll reinstall WB6 and then append this post with the details. Thanks.

I've reinstalled WB6 beta. It appears to work ok in the Administrator account but will not load any skins in the Limited Account. I did try and run it as Adminstrator but that didn't appear to make a difference. It has on one occasion partially loaded a skin but window movement was very jerky and the computer was slowed down drastically. Here are my details:

not unless there has been an update to 6vista since the 4th... I don't have vista

6 is a beta - doesn't alway work for all...

try posting here: WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback

maybe something in the post there may help also..

There was an update on the 7th -- I've installed that but there was no change in the problem. I also updated my nVidia drivers to the current 162.22 from the 158.24, also with no effect. Will continue to test as newer beta versions appear.
