Purchase the enhanced edition.

Well, I own WB through Object Desktop, and I see the "purchase reminder" screen too.

I used to have WB 4.60.048 installed and everything was fine: no nags, no crashes.
I then used Stardock Central to uninstall 4.60, rebooted, and installed WB 5.01.006.

I found that 5.01 crashed (in the wbconfig screen) as soon as I clicked on one of several skins that WB4 had no problems with (such as Antares or Apogee), so I wanted to downgrade.

I used SDC to uninstall 5.01, rebooted, and used SDC to install 4.60.048 again.

NOW, everytime WB starts up, I get the purchase reminder nag screen. I looked in "About Windowblinds" and it does not mention being the shareware version.

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make this inappropriate screen go away.

Could you post the system info from the WB config? I thought I had seen this before with mixed files.

Thanks for your reply Zubaz. I am running 4.60 now and there is no "System Info" option. I did see that option in 5.01 though.

Sorry, I missed teh rollback.

I'd grab odzapper and clean out WB and reinstall WB5.x http://tinyurl.com/r8xw5

You are getting a nag from WB 4.6 which was installed from SDC?

What does the tooltip say when you mouseover the WB system tray icon?

Yes, that is correct, Neil. (BTW I have never installed shareware or even standalone WB. It's always been from SDC (or component manager before that). The screen offers me WB for $19.95 etc... The tooltip says exactly:

WindowBlinds 4 (4.6 (build 214))


Thanks....

A followup, Neil... I had occasion to reboot after my previous post, and NOW the tooltip says:

WindowBlinds 4.5

However, selecting "About Windowblinds" from the tooltip reports: 4.6 (build 214)

SDC says the version installed is 4.60.048


Thanks...
