[Help] Window Blinds 5

from Stardock Forums
Hi. I got a probelm with using Window Blinds 5. Well I didnt use it yet because it says there is this message saying that I have to reboot my computer.. .again. So I removed my virus protection, windows live one care and sbc yahoo online protection. (SBC protection's base doesn't remove the base, only the protection, so I went to msconfig and unchecked it from starting up). I uninstalled it and tried again, but the same message appeared. I dont know what to do.

Vista Transformation Pack 7


I would think this may be the issue, it has most likely altered Windows system files. Uninstalling it may repair files, if not you may be looking at needing to do a repair install of XP, maybe even a format and fresh install of XP.

The EULA clearly states it alters system files and registry, all thru the install, starting on first page is clearly stated that the author is not responsible for any problems installing transform pack may cause to your system.

IMO, why someone would continue and install it is unbelievable.

So I uninstall vtp 7 and window blinds 5. Then reinstall window blinds 5?
If yes, is it ok to install windows vista transformation pack 7 again?
If no, then...

That should answer your question.

Oh, I get it. Took me a while to figure out but hehe. I thoguth it would be cool for my computer to look like vista. Some other computers installed VTP7 and successfully installed window blinds too without any trouble(was on the VTP forums where people posted their transformed desktops).

There is something like VTP but not completely. I should try that pack and try it with window blinds. I dont know..

I continued because I saw other users computer's desktops and thought it was kinda cool. The VTP didnt do damage to my computer. my pc is still fine. but I think I lost my background picture in my desktop funtion in display properties because of it.. not sure.

I might try to uninstall vista transformation pack and install window blinds, see how it goes, if it works, its good, I might install vista transformation again to see what happens, or if the window blinds doesnt work when I uninstalled the vista transformation pack and the window blinds and then reinstalled it, im stuck for now(sorry for the long sentence).
