blinds 7 keeps crashing

Could you provide more information please.

How is it all messed up?

Maybe a screen shot?

my fault i mean every thing stops working untill explorer is restared like a freeze on the screen

Did you disable wb & then see if it clears the issue,more info would be better your pretty vague on anything you've tried

yeah it is a wb issue if i use the standard aero  it works fine i just installed my colours & i have lost the min/close buttons

it is a wb issue because when i use the standard aero of win 7 every thing is fine i just installed my colours now & every thing is not skinning properly & the min close buttons are missing untill i go back to standard aero on win 7

On another forum a fella has installed win 7 on a what was a vista laptop with 8800gt graph card,taking wb out of the equation yours is a very similar issue,uninstalling the graph driver may prove useful as he did that & it ran fine,well keep it in mind anyway just in case]

Due to an installation bug, you need to install MyColors before installing WindowBlinds on Windows 7.

best to reinstall neil

i stop the graphic card service still doing the same thing?

any help?

Uninstall mycolors. I had big issues with it runnin g alongside WB 7.

it was doing this before my colours install but thx for the advice

when I uninstalled  the graphic driver from my comp it stoped the problem so there must be a bug at stardock ot nvidia end?

The problem is with Win-7 taskbar thumbnails preview. I disabled this option by simple tweaks:

1. Create empty text file.

2. Copy and paste this code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

3. Save file like tweak.reg. Then run it.

That's all. You will not see taskbar thumbnails because the new hover time = 20 sec. But your WB began to work more stable.

thx for help Vad_M

it has gone back to crash mode what happens is every thing becomes slugish & bits of the taskbar vanish help please. back to normal if i get lucky & it asks me to restart explorer or i have to log of & then back on to use the taskbar as normal again

still doing the same thing & blinds 7 is out of beta

skibadee: Are your Nvidia drivers up to date?

i will give that a try now the latest one is september i think ?

did the latest driver thing still no fix

At this point, I'd send an email to support@stardock.com to open up a ticket.  They may be able to help you out a little better than here.

you guys are funny.

I posted the same issue over in windowblinds cause well, it was a wb problem, but no. Hankers said I needed to post this over here and Rosco_P says to pass it on to the support group. I'm thinking it might not be a individual/isolated problem but something with a recent update. I saying all this in totally good humor. I'm just trying to helpful and since it is not a critical error, happens only on shut down for me, I could care less. but you all might want to kick this upstairs to at least have a look see??? I don't think I'd waste my time initiating a trouble ticket for this, not something I could correct (IMHO).
