Window blinds on 64bit Vista sp2 with dual core and 4 Gig of ram dosent work very well

hmmm... vista x64 w sp1 works just fine. Isn't it more likely that it is sp2 causing you grief.

sp2 is not yet RTM and thus should not be supported by anyone.

I have to agree with Phoon, I just got a new computer, with Vista 64bit SP1 and it runs WB just fine.

i ran wb on vista ultimate 64 with sp2 and photoshop cs3 installed for weeks with no issues at all. quad core and 8 gigs of ram here, but that doesn't matter. i don't run comodo, though.

Exclude Comodo from being skinned.

Here's a thread that covers this exact issue.  Link

Hi,

i have problems too since i have installd SP2 (Final version, i'm MSDN customer)

After installing SP2 (reboot) Vista falls back to the old win 2000 skin.

Then i can manualy reactivate Vista Aero and after that i can select a skin in Windowblinds (6.40)

But it only works until i reboot my system. After any reboot i switches back to the classic windows 2000 skin

For now i had to uninstall Windowblinds, because even the standard aero skinis better then the classic skin.

I hope there will be an update soon

System: Windows Vista 64, SP2 8Gb Ram, Core2Duo 3Ghz.

The problem is not with Window Blinds, the problem is with Windows.  Once I updated Vista with all the hotfixes, I had some problems after I installed them--it was like security overkill.  My programs would crash, so I said screw it, I'm going to completely wipe everything out and uninstall the hotfixes and just start over, and since I did my computer has never run faster or more efficiently.  Not one skin has crashed my system, they all work just fine.  I avoid any Service Pack update until Microsoft, not Wincustomize or Stardock, gets it together, since the guys here are super-smart and know how Microsoft's funky OS's work.  Not once do I remember Microsoft putting out an operating system that was truly ready for the market except MS-DOS 1.0, and now you're going back to 1979.  Windows never ran right when it was released, and system and software compatability issues have always been their biggest problems, because they don't really know what they're doing sometimes, and are just wingin' it.

I looked all over the Microsoft website, and there is no Service Pack 2 for Vista, only SP-1 and subsequent updates.

Love my Window Blinds, love the contrast, love my Windows not being updated but running OEM with just Defender and Spybot, not one program compatibility issue.  I think when Microsoft puts out a new service pack, the service pack becomes the issue and not the programs running under it.  In other words, Microsoft needs to patch their service packs to make them work, case in point--I have an AMD processor, and I had to completely uninstall my XP Service Pack 3, because of one tiny oversight Microsoft overlooked.  This gets back to my point of the guys at Microsoft not really knowing what they are doing.  Believe me, if I could, I would have a totally different operating system, one that is truly ready for the market, and doesn't need constant updating.  I would have thought of everything in advance.  But I can't really tell you to roll back your upgrades, as I did this once, and it made mattters worse.  The only thing that worked for me and gave me complete satisfaction and compatibility was starting over, from scratch, repartitioning the hard drive and installing only critical system files and leaving everything else out there to twist.  So much better.

My system: AMD 64 X-2 dual core processor, 4400+, 2.30 ghz, 1.0 gig RAM, 32-bit.
