large fonts with windowblinds

help

from WinCustomize Forums
I have had windowblinds for a couple of years and it worked fine on my old pc but on my new one, after installing windows blinds its made all the fonts in certain dialog boxes and applications really large and bold so they kind of bust out of the boxes they are in (very annoying and looks pants!). And even after uninstalling windowsblinds the problem still remains, and the font size setting in display settings does nothing at all now. Its like windowblinds has over written something in the OS. Has anyone else got this problem or had this problem?

What version of Windows do you run?
What version of WB do you use?
Which WB skins seemed to have caused this issue?

Been away sorry, thanks for your replies... I have the font issue no matter what skin I choose, I'd post you a picture but I havent got anywhere to host the image. I'm on windows XP version 2002 sp2, and windowblinds 5.1. It's really annoying, wouldn't be so bad if I could uninistall at the fonts would go back, doesn't change when I unload windowblinds either. Any ideas??

says Paid.


These:

Wbload.exe 2005/12/21 01:04:47
Tray.dll 2006/04/28 19:27:49


say Trial.

Your files are mixed.

Did you have the trial version 1st? did you uninstall/reboot prior to installing paid?

Did you use the SDC manager or download as a stand a lone?

I didn't use the SDC manager to download windowblinds. I followed the link off the e-mail stardock sent me with my codes on. This computer was fresh and new so it never had a copy of windowblinds on it before I downloaded the full version.

The thing that really bugs me is that even when I do uninstall the fonts are still huge. Any ideas??
