Runs but won't skin.

May 22, 2020 9:38:02 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

So, fresh install on my Win7 Ult 64x system. No matter which skin I try and apply, it doesn't work - I get the expected "please wait" screen overlay, but the UI just settles on either Aero or Classic, depending on the skin chosen. Also sometimes throws the "doesn't appear to have been installed correctly" error. Clean boot didn't help.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try the purge and reinstall steps. Use this link for it : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

Just make sure to re-download the latest installer from your account. Reboot after the purge, reinstall using the installer you just download, reboot and retest. Report back.

Thank you,

Basj,

Heads up. When support gets here, they are gonna want the version of WindowBlinds you have installed, and your version of Windows.

 

Run winver.exe.

Why would a purge and reinstall help on a fresh install?

If you're running Eset anti-virus see this:

Huh. Evidently something got corrupted in the initial install.
