New WindowBlinds 7 v6.90 BETA caused my skins/visual styles not to work.

from WinCustomize Forums

I recently upgraded my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium and therefore purchased Object Desktop because I wanted to update my WindowBlinds 6 to 7 since I had bought Windows 7 OS.

Everything was going fine with my WindowBlinds 7 v6.80 until Impulse stated that there is an update to v6.90 BETA and when I updated WB7 to v6.90 BETA, none of the skins/visual styles are working at all now.

what seems to be the problem there? is there something wrong with WB7 v6.90 BETA update?

please help because I paid good money for Object Desktop to mainly get WindowBlinds 7.

A little more information would be helpful. Are they applying as classic or are you geeting an error message or are they missing parts, etc

How long has it been installed? The shareware version stops working after 30 days from the first installation at which time it reverts to the classic skin. If it has timed out you should be able to open the congfiguration panel slide to the leftmost end and choose Windows Aero before you uninstall.

If that's not the case I would suggest you uninstall/turn off any real time anti-virus anit-spyware then reinstall. Make sure to reboot before running the program.
