WB5: No skins on list

from Stardock Forums


Hello,


I'm experiencing a problem after purchasing and installing WindowBlinds 5. I've restarted my computer plenty of times and have skin folders within the appriopate directory which is my folder "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Windowblinds5". It appears that none of the skins I've downloaded form WinCustomize and the skins WB5 comes with are not showing up on my list of skins, only the two original skins my computer comes with by default (The XP and original default layouts) Oh, and I've tried browsing to the folders and no ".wba" or "zip" formats are within the skin folders, WinCostumize directly installs the skins to the folders, but nothing happens. I've even tried re-installing WB5 and I have the same problem. I look foward to any answers to my question. Anyone have a clue what I should do to fix my list so that all the skins I download show up on my list?


Thanks again!

uh-oh......SDC = Stardock Central. Do you have Object Desktop or just WB5?

Just WB5. (I hate to bother you about this and appologize for asking, but do you have AIM? My screen name is: Chilling Karma. Maybe we can do a direct chat to make it easier?)

OK...the build you have is not the newest (the newest is a beta 5.00.[b].004). I'm not sure in this instance, but it might only be available to OD subscribers. Anyway, if you want, install it http://storage.stardock.com/files/sdcentral_setup.exe and enter your WB serial # in lower right and see if it gives you that version. You can also turn 'Themes Services' back on. Another option is to try fixing your jet database http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829558#XSLTH3120121122120121120120 ...you know the drill.

I suddenly have the greatest overwhelming feeling that this will work.

it will. SDC downloads/archives/installs/uninstall your SD programs.
you also use it to get the latest updates

I think that's correct. But I still think installing via SDC is better.

Make sure in SDC settings you check: 'Show pre-release versions'......it might just cough up that newest version.
