WB and its BAD effect on the net and MSN

For some reason, when i install WB (the full version) it for some reason knocks out my MSN Live Messenger. When I troubleshoot the problem, it says theres a problem with "Key ports". ALso, for another unknown reason, some sites I can not visit through Internet Explorer and Firefox such as google, hotmail and myspace. The only thing that comes up is "401 The web site is blocked by administrator". It just started happening as SOON as I installed WB. ANY help at all would be hugely appreciated.

Sounds like the trojan in the cracked version that blocks sites and steals all your family's credit card info.

Open WB configuration, click 'view my system information' on the left, copy/paste to here all the info that shows up

its something in your system stopping these sites from loading, not windowblinds, i use firefox and msn and IE and have none of the problems you have mentioned, check your firewall settings first.

Nimbin is correct, the problem you are having is nothing to do with WindowBlinds.

It sounds like someone has installed an app which is blocking your access to certain sites.  Perhaps some sort of app designed to limit a childs internet access.

That could be so, but these problems still only arise with the installation of WB, for some reason.

Coincidence? I can assure you it's not WB causing your problem.

Where did you "buy" it? And when?

Cool, Drug stores selling year old copies of Windowblinds.

Download Stardock Central, enter the registration you got when you bought it, and download the newest version.

something looks a little off with the system information, are you sure it is a legal version>, not accusing you of anything but do you trust the person/people/shop you bought it from?
