Wordperfect X4 will not run with Windowblind installed/

from Stardock Forums

I have spent the last two days trying to locate the problem service that is keeping Corel's new version of WordPerfect X4 from not running properly.  It is definately the Windowblinds service that is causing the problem.  My question is "Does anyone know if the new ()beta) version will solve this issue.  If not the entire suite of Stardock Skins etc become uselesss to me and my clients which are mostly lawyers that continue to use the wordperfect Office Suite products.  Any assistance will be appreciated.

You coukld try this to see if it solves the issue.  Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on the Settings tab. Select "Change the look of an app" tab and then "Add per application setting". Locate the exe for the program you wish to exclude and select it. In the screen that appears put a check mark in "Ignore this application and do not skin it". Click OK and that should do it.

In a pinch, hold down your Ctrl Key then launch WP

Thanks for all your assistance.  I have implemented  the 'No Skin" option and it works satisfactorly.

WP under Corel has never skinned in WB. It sucks. Something about how they program the API. All Corel applications are funky under WB - almost like they're non-windows compliant.
