I decided to tackle Impulse with trepidation after reading all the horror stories. I downloaded the latest version from a link in the Impulse forum. As soo as Impulse loaded it asked to update itself, so i did. After I restarted Impulse I updated everything successfully except Skin Studio which said it was missing a password and did not complete so I restarted it and it updated successfully.
After I rebooted WB did not start so I tried it with the Program Menu and I got the subject error. It also said: (Sorry I have a bitmap, but cannot figure out how to insert an image without a URL so will type it out)
"If you have rebooted and still get this message, you may need to disable any registry protection / anti spyware apps you have and reinstall WindowBlinds as they may be incorrectly preventing the install. As an alternative, you can press the 'Use additional process' button which will make Windowblinds use a little more memory, but may resolve this problem."
As for the first suggestion, I am using Comodo Firewall 3 and I added wbcfg ( or wbconfig) as a trusted application which did not help. I also have NOD 32 by Eset as my Virus Program.
As for the other suggestion about one of the buttons, it didn't work. So I rebooted three times with no effect.
Any suggestions? How do I re-install from archive?
