reset to an earlier date. if this doesn't work or is you can't do that, reboot in "safe mode" and uninstall any problematic programs.

You should (if you can) record error messages, etc. so that Stardock Support will be able to help you...also, if you can, post your system information.

Was this the 'trial' version or the 'paid' version of WindowBlinds?  What version of Windows are you using?

WindowBlinds does not 'mess up' a computer.

I'm running windows XP . My computer was running just fine until I installed windowblinds .

I can't go to safemode I already tried . I have went back as far as 3 wks on doing a restore & it did no good .

 

It was not a trial . Everytime I try to do anything it says access denied .

WindowBlinds that is.

If you are able to - Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here.

I would suggest you contact the rapidshare forum and ask whomever created the 'cracked' version find a fix for you.  The 'official' purchased WindowBlinds program does not mess up computers whereas the 'cracked' versions have been known to.

WB cant do what you are describing...

And downloading a non trial program from a forum aka full version anywhere else.. it is a supposedly cracked version... looks like you got the WindowsBlinds Hostile Takeover edition 6.1337.... ...   Virus Scan.. but best format all and better luck next time..

I'm running windows XP . My computer was running just fine until I installed windowblinds a cracked version of windowblinds.

This is a perfect example of why not to use illegally cracked software. These files often contain viruses and trojans that really screw up your system.  You won't get any official support here, but I would suggest trying to save your data and then reformat.

Then go to http://www.windowblinds.net and purchase the full, legal version of WindowBlinds which won't mess up your system.

Here I was thinking it was a real help issue.

*sigh

When will I ever learn?

Here's some free advice: There ain't no such thing as "Free Lunch".

You got what you deserved. Now format your disk.

After that, try the licensed Free Trial software and if you like it, BUY IT!

Amazing, but it really comes with some of the most responsible, caring support you'll ever find.
