Yes. I have a USBUIRT and a Microsoft model 1040 for Media Center.

We are looking into an issue with the driver for that.  For now if you have that unplugged at startup you can bootup and then plug it in and everything is happy.

I'm need help with the install.

Here's my problem...
After I installed WB6b it worked fine. LOVED the way it looks, handles and all the bells and whistles, BUT after I booted my machine, my computer would not continue to boot, it would freeze at a certian point and I would have to push my reset button, log in as a different user who does not use WB or any SD programs, Rename the WB directory, log out, then log back in as myself for my computer to boot up under my name. Once I did this, I could then go back into Explore, name the WB dir back to normal, and load WB6b manually and it would run fine.
I ended up (after days of doing that), uninstalling WB6b under the other user name and I can once again get my log-in to complete a boot-up.

Why won't my machine complete a boot-up if WB6 is installed?
I run AVAST virus scanner and I even tried to disable the virus scanner and reinstall it at some point but when completed, I still have the same problem.

What version of Windows are you using?

Neil
I'm running XP

Do you use ActiveWords?

I would say no, as I don't know what ActiveWords are.
On startup I run auction centry, Tuneup Utility Memory manager, Ashampoo Magical Defrag, Holiday Countdown Pro, my Blue Tooth softare for my keyboard and mouse, OD, FX,CursorXP.
I have tried to disable Auction Sentury, because that's the screen it gets stuck on, but that did not solve the problem.

This last install, I closed ALL programs listed above except the BT (or I couldn't type), and the Logitec Driver/manager.

Hi,
I was registered to windowblinds 5 only, but then I was so impatient to test the latest windoblinds 6 that I've finally upgraded to the whole object desktop suite (too bad, a few day before I got a coupon, which expired).

Here's my impressions:
1) I was so happy to be able to make some part transparent on my favorite theme.

2) The new GUI of Windoblinds 6 is awesome ... I love it.

3) Just switched from Vista to XP, and I'm missing an effect of Aero.
I'm disappointed to see that Windowblinds 6 doesn't seem to support it.
Let's try to describe the effect: when you move the window, there's a kind of shiny background in the title bar, that stay static. When you move the window, you see "more parts" of this background. If you ever played with CSS stylesheet (when customizing webpages) , there's a property called "static", the background stay fixed, when you scroll the web page. Same thing here for the theme but in the title bar. I miss that.

4) I don't find the blur effect quite customizable: it's blur or not blur. What about "blur less/more" ? What about a blur radius ? Making a "frosty" effect ?

5) As soon as you want to apply customization to a particular skin , you need to create a preset. What about applying customizations per skin , and that's all ? Why the trouble of making a preset ?

6) Changing color is nice, but it would have been nicer to decide which element to change i.e just like for the blur effect.

7) In order to switch to WB6, I tried to uninstall windowblinds 5 with stardock central and got an error (probably because it was standalone version) So I used the "add/remove programs" from control panel. Unfortunately this removed all my installed skins....

8) I was not that surpised to see sometimes some glitches ...but that was an acceptable level for a "beta".

Hi all

I have found another (possible) bug. When Windowblinds6 is running I cannot Alt-Tab out of World of Warcraft and back in again. I can Alt-tab out fine, but when I try to Alt-Tab back in the desktop screen just flashes between the Gamma setting of windows and the Gamma setting of WoW - but it doesn't actually re-load the WoW screen. So basically I am left looking at a windows desktop flashin bright and dark!

If I close windowsblinds all works well.

I did used to get this problem with WindowsBlinds 5 but it went away with on of the updates a while ago.

I have the latest drivers for my ATI card and my system settings are still as before in my previous post.

The random wallpaper changing doesn't work for me in WB 6 beta 22. I use random wallpaper settings with only a few wallpapers selected, and set to change every hour. This worked fine with WB5.5 but now when the change comes it just switches to a grey background. Any ideas?

All the themes I have made in Windowblinds 5 are doing this. Anytime the frame edges are pressed this is what happens. Press on the desktop and the problem goes away.



this is what it should look like




the performance increase is amazing! I would really like to find a solution to this so I don't have to go back to Windowblinds 5.

Thanks!


Edit:

I found the problem. It was Yz shadow. I uninstalled it and installed windowFX and everything is good now.

How do you get the drop shadow on the taskbar to show with a window maximized? (little off topic)

Hey Stardock

great the wb6 but its really bad custom to install stuff on MY Machine in places I cannot choose,only thing I get is a popup telling me you have moved my skins and ..

That has to be changed

Ruben

I was just told about that on IRC. I don't want my skins moved to some even more obscure location in docs and settings folder either (I don't save anything to my docs). I don't really understand the purpose of that....

from what see i guess it's for put all our skins for SD applications (WB OD .....) on only one folder instead of on each applications folders

I think the location of all this typical of the Vista standards.  Everything for a user goes there.  It makes backup very easy. 

I'd expect to see more of it from other apps in the near future, not just Stardock
