Alt-Tab troubles in Vista

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey folks.

Just recently got Windowblinds, and while I am certainly impressed, there's one thing that kind of irritates me.

Alt-Tab doesn't work for me!

I mean, it will still switch windows and everything, but there's no preview of the window, it's just black.

Screenshot included for usefulness!

ALT-TAB!!

If anybody has any suggestions, I'd be much obliged.
Thanks!

mustardsteve: Could you install the 6.4 update that was released this week and see if your problem continues please.

Verifying with Impulse tends to clear this up.  Right click on the entry for WindowBlinds in Impulse and hit "Verify installation". Once you do that, if it fails, there should be an update available to fix the issue.
