Can I buy it from stores like "Future Shop"???? or Do I have to go with online????

Question #2: Skins, with the trail version, where can I download skins to see the changes for my desktop...
I downloaded like 3 of them and tried to add them to the program...but it is saying the file ".uis files is missing" ????? Can someone please help me with this .....

Welcome rookie4evr, lets see if we can give you some answers.

1. You buy on line, click on this link WWW Link

2. It's been a while since I used the trial version. I believe it comes with some WindowBlinds so you can see what it does, but I'm not sure you can download any additional.

3. It's start with the first year for $20, after that you can renew and get 2 years for $20. The libraries are full of free skins. You can purchase Premium or Master Skins though if you like.

Hope that helps some. Post back if you any additonal questions.

That's for a Wincustomize subscription. With WB it lasts until the next major release (for standalone). Then there's a discount for renewing.

usually means bad download - delete it and try again - if you use a download manager try downloading with the manager
