Nothing will load...

September 28, 2007 8:40 AM from

I recently bought the full stardock program-$50 worth.

Now whenever I download any theme or visual style, nothing changes, just the colors on the toolbar, everything looks just like my regular XP setting.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You haven't lost anything. It seems that your download did not complete. Uninstall WindowBlinds, reboot, install again, reboot and then post the System Information.

I've rebooted and reinstalled about three times now..o.O

Should I just delete every trace of stardock from my computer, and redownload the whole thing that way?

Can you post the system information?

The dates appear to be complete now. Have you seen any improvement in skin application?

Good news and welcome to the world of skinning.

Yes, I'm glad to be back, after using that 60 day trial, I almost got sick seeing the regular look.

I need to have a skin on, rofl.

Whether this is good or bad, I have no idea.
