WB5 Causing XP Media centre PC not to boot ??

What happens if you remove wbsys.dll (in the system32 directory) and then reboot?

I shall try this right now.

Gotta just install again and give it a go.

Ta.

 

Nope,

Boots this time but I get this config screen for WB5 ??

I've got a feeling that if I apply a theme It'll go belly up agian.

I'm having the same problem. My hardrive crashed so I purchased a new hardrive and I was talked into getting MediaCenter. I never had a problem with Windowblinds 5 until now. Is MediaCenter and Windowblinds uncompatible? I'm about to reinstall everything just for Windowblinds because I love it so much.

(Please tell me there's a way around it though)

Run WB4.6... no more problems.  WB5 seems to be the BomDiggiddi.

Installed WB5 on a new Fujitsu notebook with XP MCE just last week without any problems at all. No suggestions here, I'm afraid. Sorry you're having problems.

I use MCE myself with WB just fine.

The problem in #3 is WBs gamma controls have been set to the lowest possible option.

If Neil had not pointed out the gamma then I would have said that looked really messed up!

Try applying a skin.

MCE is fine here also.

I saw a similar post and this was what I could come up with. I never got an answer from the poster whether it worked for them or not, looks like there might not be an answer here either.

+1 to WB5 locking up on my XP MCE

It was working fine until I networked my XBox 360 to it. Now I can't change my blinds without rebooting.

I guess I'll try out an older version on WB

*side note: this is a fully registered / purchased version of WB5*

I'm back.

Tries suggested no luck.

My problem looks exactly the same as WhiteshooZ one :o(

Exactly. Any other ideas chaps ?

Sidenote : Also fully registered Object Desktop.

smccaffe: Have you also been using an XBOX360 with your PC?

XBOX & WMCE don't like each other. (?)

No I don't have a 360.

Wouldn't mind one however.

 

XBOX & WMCE get along just fine. It's only WB that's having the problems. I noticed the problem after networking the 360 and computer, so I was hoping there might have been some sort connection between the two.

WB really doesn't act up until I try and switch the blinds around. So looks like I'll stay with the one I got

Tried switching with connection to Xbox disabled?

Tried switching with connection to Xbox disabled?

Yup. I did a system restore to a point before I added the XBox to my network. Unfortunately, there was no connection between the two

I just decided to remove WB from my computer all together

Guess I'll just wait for a newer version...

Week 4 without a working version of WB... Any mod/dev have a suggestion?

Your issue with WB saying it cannot load the bitmaps is caused by a mismatch between wblind.dll & wbsrv.dll.

When you install WB5, what are the dates on those files?

WB version 5.00[b].011
Date 1/19/06

Just installed it... If I continue to have problems I'll post again.

Thank you to all that replied!
