I believe it is referring to the ODBC file.

Recommend uninstalling and reinstalling WB5 - making sure to reboot after both the uninstall and reinstall procedure.

This is recommended before having to dig further to find the issue, as this is a system file, and you should not be getting this message in normal circumstances.

Note - it would also be recommended to delete any "WindowBlinds" folder left in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop" folder after uninstalling and before reinstalling. Make sure to copy any skin folders existing in the "WindowBlinds" folder, that were downloaded seperately from the WB5 installation to a temporary folder before deleting.

I upgraded from 4 to 5. So do i just uninstall all, reinstall 4 and update back to 5. Then restart.

jlaj1989,

Follow Neil's advice before mine - he is a WB5 developer.

If you use the uninstall - reinstall method, then copy your downloaded skin folders (except Aura, 5imple Alpha, Cyclops & DogmaX 4) to a temp folder > uninstall all versions of WB > reboot > delete any leftover WB folders > reinstall WB5 only > reboot.
