Do you have antiwpa.dll in your system32 dir (c:\windows\system32\antiwpa.dll) ... ???

Try switching to Windows XP style from display properties.  Then back to classic, then to Windows XP style and then back to classic.

Then reboot. 

Any better?

Thanks for replying guys,


First off, no there is no antiwpa.dll in system32


second, the switching from classic to XP several times didn't work


thanks, but any more ideas?

antiwpa is a windows file that deals with wether you have windows registered or not

I'm curious now too, why would it matter if he has that file

Cody-7: Anti WPA patches prevent WB from turning on as they make Windows think it is in Safe mode.  And WB is disabled in Safe mode.

Dixta65: No you are not supposed to have antiwpa.dll so thats fine.

The only time I have ever seen this is when the wblind.dll & wbsrv.dll files are mismatched.  I.e. one is shareware, one is registered.

We should be updating the shareware build later this month, so I would suggest trying that when its out.
