Windows blinds not working on XP

just reverts to classic theme

from Stardock Forums
I was so much excited when I came to know about windows blinds, and installed the demo, but it wont work. it just changes it to classical theme and nothing else.

I tried installing it many times. but without luck. I was hoping to buy the program but it seems just not working on my computer. Its XP Prof and has all windows updates on it.

I am pasting the info which might be of some help..

Hi,

well, the very first step to a new comer...... have you double clicked on a theme (the small thumbnails by the bottom scrollbar), or pressed the "apply my changes" button when youve selected one to use?

Sorry if this sounds like a bizzare question, but if ya dont know .......

is it the first time you install WindowBlinds? Or did you have installed an earlier version before (like to test WB5)?

Sounds like what happens when the trial expires. The trial will only work for 30 days and uninstall/reinstall will not "renew" the time period.

If this is not the case I'd suggest irc.stardock.com and chat with support. You could start a support ticket but current customers will always get preference over non-customers and it could take some time. :)
