Windowblind does no start at windows startup anymore.

from Stardock Forums

Hello !

 

Firstly, please excuse my crappy English, I'm a french speaker, I'm not very very strong in this language. 

 

SO,

 

I'm an user of Windowblinds (that's why I'm here, hehe). 'kay

 

From here, everything worked perfectly. Fine. But today, without any apparent reason, Windowblind didn't launch at startup, the themes weren't applyed... I tried to launch wbload.exe, wbconfig.exe... They start, but doesn't change anything of the theme. Reboot don't do anything too.

 

But the default themes of Windows XP work great.

 

I can't find the key of autolaunch of WB in my MSconfig, is it normal ?

 

So I'm worried. If you can help me it would be great. Thanks.

Do you have the trial version or did you purchase the full version?

copy and paste your windowblinds system information into this thread. open the windowblinds configuration windows and then click the system info tab, copy and paste that information here.

 

if you have been using the trial version it only lasts for 30 days and then you will revert back to the default windows theme.The only way you can continue using the program is to purchase the full version www.windowblinds.net .

Wizard1956 usually gives great advice. You are entitled to the latest version at the time your subscription ran out. Stardock will give you a link to that, but the latest is the greatest...so I'd encourage you to renew your subscription. Your problem might be due to driver updates, Windows Updates, etc. and older software incompatibilities. :sun:

Ok, I'm gonna do this update, and hope it will resolve my problem. Thanks a lot.

 

Oh, question: Update my program will delete the themes I already have or not ?

No, only the program is updated,you will keep all your themes.
