And,when i tried the demo version of WindowBlinds, it worked perfectly on the same computer.
When i click properties on the desktop and go to the Appearance tab, i dont see a *button* on top of the and *button* like i did when i installed the demo wersion.
Hey guys,i just finished installing WindowBlinds.Somehow,i cant apply any(all the) skin(s).When i click apply my changes,the only thing it did was change my windows XP theme to Windows Classic theme.Any idea how to fix this problem?
Hi Took me a few tries to work out the problem.Being i have Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)And it works great.Puter even runs smoother than having WB5 which always was jerky TYVM
I am having the same problem as trillseeker and I followed the nfo. When I go to task manager, there is no file by that name but there is a file called wbconfig.exe which I shut down and that doesn't do anything. I'm running XP so where's this non-exsistent WBINST~1.exe file?
Hey guys maybe someone can answer this for me and help me solve it. When I run the reg patch software, instead of getting "yep= file patch" I get this message instead “error=(” can’t open file (file is running or otherwise accessed)”
Can anyone tell me what wrong here, I check to make sure wblind was not running and it was not.
Problems here! Cracking doesnt work : 1) i save the licence file (sig6) 2)then i go see the system info in winblinds : WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC , WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC.

4)And finnaly I I try to apply my changes... ACTIVATION window pops
