No styles applying?

May 21, 2008 5:02:47 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I have seen alot of people with this problem. And all the threads I have read have fixed it.

I have just re install windows xp home edition.
I downloaded the WindowBlinds 6.1 Trial. I have had it for about 4 Hours. I have downloaded a vista style. But for some reason, when I try to apply it by double clicking on it or right clicking on it and pressing apply style. It just puts the windows classic style on.

There isnt a icon in the system tray either.

And when I try to put the windows xp style back on the program freezes up, I then re open it and double click the windows xp style and it applys.

Help me please. I aint buying untill it works. Because I might buy this software if it doesnt eat my CPU memery and the blurr looks like vista's.

This should not be dated today.

Where did you download the version you have from.

Good question.

Would be best to uninstall and run a file scanner and then install the trial or purchase WindowBlinds.

The file date being 2 hours after the post time doesn't help either

I can't remember where I got it from. It said it was a trial...

I will download the trial from here. And see if that works.

You will want to complete remove all traces of the version you posted above and run some scans on your system to be safe. You never know if someone else's crack is clean or dirty.

There are some hacks out there that permantly lodge the registration of the trial in your system. In this case it certainly looks like you have a hack. Rip out everything and install the trial, if the trial tells you right away that your time is up then that is the case. You will have to manually remove the registration. Once you have the trial working on your system or have purchased the full version we will be happy to assist you.
