Windows Blinds on Windows Server 2003

from Stardock Forums

I installed Windows Server 2003 on my computer just to play with it an learn about it. I want to make it have a bitchin' theme (can I say that here?). I already did this and tried to install Window Blinds but I cannot get it to work.

I have tried three different versions. 4, 5.5, and 6.3 (I think, it's the newest one at the time I am posting this). 4 works the best because the start menu button is changed and the buttons in Dialog boxes are changed, but the Window borders are still "Classic Windows"

It would be really cool if I could get WB running on this machine...

 

PS, I see this forum runs it's own forum software, can I subscribe to this topic so it emails me when someone replies?

I have a Radeon 7200 and Window Blinds works in XP on the same machine.

Are you using the trial or the full version? It sounds a bit like what happens when the trial runs out.

Open the Windowblinds Configuration dialog, choose the System Info tab and click the copy text button....then paste the info into a reply.

I tried full and trial versions. It says something about "Per pixel borders" not being supported and it sounds like a video driver issue, but XP on the same machine runs Window Blinds without issue.

Window Blinds works at school on my school computer running Server 2003...

I have a slightly different problem: the mouseover images on the start menu are just solid rectangles for ALL skins (Also on server 2003, XP worked like a dream). I have XP and 2003 in VirtualBox.
