Problem with uninstalling WB

February 29, 2008 11:13 PM from

I installed the windowblinds trial, used it for a few days, and recently tried uninstalling it. Now my computer won't let me use Aero (I have Vista Home Premium). The default it sets to is Vista Basic and the only other options it give me are to use Windows Classic and Standard. I can't change the color or transparency anymore.

did you set everything back to default prior to uninstalling?

Yep. Even before I uninstalled it and tried to use Windowblinds to set it back to Aero, it would still only give me Basic.

Did you install and uninstall through Stardock Central? If not, you probably need to run a registry sweep program to remove the registry entries. CCleaner is a free program that works great.....

I figured it probably had something to do with the registry, but CCleaner doesn't fix it.
