ok 3 hrs later clean install of XP64 and im back where i started sort of.

i now have a nice clean desk top no icons at all .

only thing instaled is avast and drivers i had to have "sound video chipset and windows updates"

this time it BSOD and reset my sys .  atleast the last time i had a part of my desk top.

i have no idea what is causeing the problem.  its getting late im giveing up for the night.

thanx for any ideas or sujestions.

 

Actually buying the program seems like the logical conclusion. No problems here with mine.

As has been mentioned many times, you get what you pay for.

Just to clarify things... Citizen Mangyrat is listed as a current customer...ergo he has purchased WB....however the problem seems to be this desire to play with 'altered' versions as well...causing issues.

Now, if a clean format/install [and unadulterated WB download/install] is still causing problems then it's likely to be an issue with the 'success' of the OS install...eg appropriate drivers, etc...

We have had a report of the very latest beta release of WB5 not working correctly on XP 64 bit.

If you disable show beta releases & then reinstall WB5 (having removed it), does this fix the problem?

no i havent great idea thanks BRB gona test it

  ok thanx a bunch i got it working all icons are back and desk top looks good back like it did when i had the free ver.    one last problem to kill and every thing works good. windows email never did work when i have WB installed. it tells me im out of mem or some spolling thing is not working,

Hello, I use WindowBlinds a long time and I'm happy with it. I have downloaded WindowBlinds 5.0 from stardock and I tested the crack that they talk about here. What I see is indeed, the black screen !! So Stardock is NOT the problem but it is the crack, because ALL the other software that stardock made is working good on my pc
So I want to say congratulations to the makers of WindowBlinds 5.0 to stop the crackers Hihi
I have purchased WindowBlinds 5.0 and I hope the serial they gave me works without any mistakes

I'am back and I have just installed WindowBlinds 5.0 and it is working perfect. I see the glass thing and the red colour X when I hold my mouse on it.
Yes thank you

Alright, this is a little hard for me, so, here goes:

I had downloaded the cracked windows blinds edition discussed above, not to "test" it, but to actually use it, knowing full and well that it was illegal. I did not, however, experience as near bad of problems that others have had, just uninstalled. The reason I am posting here is because while looking for a fix for it, I stumbled unto this forum. I have read it from beggining to end. After reading, I felt an incredible sense of guilt. I have downloaded and cracked alot of software myself, (not a brag) even mass distributed it on LimeWire and BitTorrent. Anyways, after reading this I have decided to stop everything I am doing in the ways of stealing things over the internet. I now realize that I was being a total jackass, and that it was incredible I had the balls to do it. I can't see how I didn't realize before now, but this has helped. I am not looking for sympathy, or a handout, all I want is to let you all know that I appreciate the things you've said here. All I can say is that I have deleted everything illegal on my computer and have no plans to continue what I was doing. I may get in trouble for even posting these things, but I felt that you all should know that you've helped at least a few of us out there.

Thanks, AnonymousMe

Just thought I'd post something, cuz if it was me, I'd have to see if anybody said anything and what they said. My time of walking the path not well lit was before the 'virtual reality' but I do understand if what you say is now true, then there is deeper truth involved and I agree it would be hard to post it...anonymous or not. Power to you.

I may get in trouble for even posting these things, but I felt that you all should know that you've helped at least a few of us out there.

You won't get into any trouble at all for posting as you have done.

You show a mature and commendable understanding of the realities of it all....

More power to you....

 guys forgive me for asking this here cause im sure its the wrong area. But here goes I just downloaded some theme files in the format of .dxtheme could someone please help me out and explain how to install such items. Thanks

 

 And on a side note if any of you know how to Inverse the colors of ITunes on a XP based computer that would be nice as well.

Yes, you are in the wrong area... never mind   What you need for .dxthemes is DesktopX which you can download from the software page here https://www.wincustomize.com/software.aspx

you even get rewarded for breaking others persons computers??? Well cheers mate, ain't Amerika a great country! I think they even have a patent on morals.

Yes lets bash America cos we believe in protecting our rights when we're in a business to sell a product and OH God forbid anyone stop little snotty nosed kids ( or adults ) from expecting a free meal without repercussions...

Yes lets bash America cos we believe in protecting our rights when we're in a business to sell a product

And Britain, Oz, Germany, Japan, Russia, France for doing the same thing.......
