WindowsBlinds Full not working

February 26, 2006 11:10 AM from

Hello,

I have installed WindowsBlinds Trial and it worked perfectly. I installed a
skin and like it so I decided to buy the full version. The problem is, when
I installed WindowsBlinds Full and logon, my computer would freeze. The
toolbar disappeared and the computer was incredibly slow. I uninstalled the
full version from another user account and reinstalled the trial version.
Strangely enough, the trial version worked perfectly. I disable most of the
startup programs and tried again with the full version: same problem! I
tried a third time and it's the same situation. I am presently running
WindowsBlinds Trial. This situtation is really perplexing me, do you see the
solution? Here's the WindowsBlinds information report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Did you install the full over the trial? I've heard that there can be issues with that.

Uninstall everything and reinstall. See if that doesn't help.

I unistalled everything, and reinstalled the full version over it, no difference

It's really weird...

Did you try removing the entry in your registry? I had a different issue but reinstalling didn't work for me either. I had to remove the WB registry entry.

Guedado, I didn't modify the registry, what keys should I remove?
