First problem with WB5

from WinCustomize Forums
Well, since last update of WB5 (6/6/6 bad luck?)
My WB is all fucked up.

It look almost like the cracked WB screen that I saw, exept that not anyting is always black, sometime it's ok other times there nothing (No borders at all)

This started today as I changed my skin for the first time since that update.
I have also try to uninstall WB in safemode and reinstalled back after in normal mode, no luck, still bug.
The most strange thing is that everything lag on my PC at boot, I mean background process like RTLKHDCP.exe DEAMON.exe goes to hell and my CPU is at 100%
That never happend before...

You downloaded the BETA. You can roll it back and that may fix it.

If you don't want Beta's, uncheck the box to show beta's at the bottom of the SD browser.

Hope this helps.

Open SD Central. Choose "Object Desktop" Choose "Window Blinds 5" and choose uninstall (on the bottom-right of the page) It should show 5.01d[b].008 as the release version prior to uninstalling.

The option for "Show Pre-Release versions" should be UNCHECKED. If it's not, do it. It's on the bottom left of the same page.

This will reset your "Object Desktop" browser to show the last stable (non-beta) version.
That version is 5.01.006 (No [b]),
If it doesn't, close SD Central and, re-open it.

Choose Window Blinds 5 (version 5.01.006) and click to install. This will put it back to the pre-beta stage.

Hopefully this will fix your problems. I know it fixed mine.
(Well the ones that Stardock could fix )

in the settings, you can also have SDC to automatically autoarchive on updating - much easier to roll back to an archived version than redownload

Well, I have needed to reinstall Windows two days ago and rebuild the whole PC today.
After the reinstall I choosed the lastest Final version
Everything goes well now...

So, I point to the lasted Beta as the bogus.
This will teach me about reading info dialog that talk about "auto-archive current build"
