If you have installed a pirate copy (AKA cracked) version of WindowBlinds 5, please be aware that the crack is faulty and WindowBlinds will cease to function correctly on your computer.

To fix this you just need to uninstall WB and if you wish install a purchased copy of WB, or the trial.

To uninstall, you can either wait for your computer to login, unload WB (either using wbconfig, display properties, or from a command prompt calling WBLOAD UNLOAD) and then uninstall WB.  Or you can boot into safe mode & uninstall WB from there.

Your computer has not been harmed in anyway.  Whoever made the crack did a poor job and patched out code that causes WindowBlinds to no longer be able to paint bitmaps (so title bars, borders, everything will be black).

the major reason for the black ui (when this post was written) was due to cracked versions of WB.


do you have nView turned on? if so, turn it off.
on Apr 26, 2008
that is what i also read but i never had such a version installed. first i installed the trial and later i bought it. nview is not enabled. the black UI is still here. i adapt me to it but i is painfull to work with it.

first i installed the trial and later i bought it.


did you uninstall the trial and reboot prior to installing the paid?
on Apr 26, 2008
dont know anymore.. as i think now about it.. it can be that i never installed the trail version.
anyway i uninstalled and installed the hole object dekstop package more then ones. deleted all related directories and registry keys. i am sure i also rebooted between that. did all what can be done but no change. i also wrote a support ticket at stardock but heard nothing from them.

on Apr 26, 2008
if you put in the ticket at support page have you logged into it and checked the status?

have you checked your spam folders for emails?
on Apr 26, 2008
äch.. i am a idiot. just logged in to the support helpdesk and there is a answer.. let me try to do that what he wants from me.. thx

the last time i couldnt log in. to much passwords for stardock  . would be nice if they would have only one account and password for all logins.

believe it or not mpurchased window blinds  6 is black and i downloaded a WB 5 from one of those torrent places and its fine only the "crack" wouldnt work so I couldnt activate it... no serial. Needless to say I uninstalled it and am now trying to fix WB6 problems. Has an error message saying to check to see if my disk is full and that i have access to the destination directory. Dont know what to do. Anybody else have this problem??

uninstall all versions of WB - reboot

delete all WB folders

run a cleaner like CCleaner

clean your registry

reboot

 

download Impulse

 

run it and let it update itself

 

register your WB serial in Impulse

 

then use Impulse to download and install WB

 

 

if that doesn't work, start a new post - this one is waaaayyy old

also get something like malwarebytes if don't have something already and really scan your computer for nasties

 

not all torrents are "clean"
