Did you use Impulse to download it?

XP 32 bit or 64 bit?

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on 'About WindowBlinds'. Copy/paste that info here.

Post your information as Hankers asked.  Sometimes it's nothing more than a bad download which can be easily corrected.

You left off the important part, version number and whether WindowsBlinds is installed correctly.  Copy everything and past again.

Now that is interesting,  If it's not installed correctly how can it run?  You purchased this from the Stardock site?

If you are running any other customization software other than from Stardock there might be a conflict.

The one computer that it is not working on maybe getting a bad download.

There is something you need to be aware of, by the licensing agreement you can only install the software on two computers where you are the primary user.  They also are not supposed to be truned on at the same time.  In other words you can install it on you home computer and your laptop that you take to work.

That is always a possibility.

Since you just did a fresh install use the restore function.

Now that is a possibility that maybe got overlooked in the fresh install.  Very good suggestion to check MadDeez
