are we having fun yet?

I think perhaps you weren't listening when I said "do not use alpha or beta versions of anything"....
I have enough stress without having to worry about straightening out a myriad of problems on my formerly perfectly
running computer....

Sorry about *History* I thought it gave you all the information


I am sorry but I'm totally confused

no problem
(1) do you have 2 Wblind apps. showing in SDC?
(2) what installed versions do they show?

yrag, I commend you for your patience in trying to figure this one out...
I can only say that I probably would have introduced my computer to "Mr. SledgeHammer" by now.... hehe..

Component Manager will be unusable/non-issue very soon.Use only SDC for proper installz.Did I see that you are running ME?This too iz a problem for you.Please excuse me if I read it wrong.Forget Component Manager.Use only SDC.Your computer will thank you for it.

ya Jam ...I sometimes want to do a 'shock and awe' on mine

Ah Ha,I did see you are running on ME.From what I understand The most recent bulidz are for XP only.I guess I could have missed something somewhere but I'll bet yer gonna have to wait for a version with ME support.Shouldn't be long.Why no XP?

ya know brazil, now that you say that I do remember something about that somewhere...dahhh.......I'll go look

Everyone always forgets to read the fine print, and in this case it certainly was not fine print...

sorry I couldn't help you GG, I haven't tried it so I didn't know it was strictly an XP candidate release...

GG...found this in old thread

wb 4.0 is for XP only however Stardock will have a version of 4.0 possibly 4.1 or some such available in a few months for Non-xp users that will utilize most of the same features as the xp edition... the problem is that with XP most of the features required very little programming, howver with earlier version more code is needed to be written, and stardock is writing the xp features from scratch...

back to the drawing board. You're going to have to load up 3.50 and use no betas until they release version for Win ME. I imagine you're totally confused by now

GG: do #50, but reverse versions. Load 3.50 and leave 3.99xxx in available status.

GG, didn't you say that you already have WB 3.5a installed?
That means the problem lies with SDC..
If you are running WinME then you probably have to revert to CM until they release the finished
versions of SDC and WB4 for WinME.
That would be my guess..

by her history file...she loaded beta versions, so she needs to get rid of wblinds and do a clean install of 3.50

Sorry if I was away for awhile. I decided for the 2nd time to un-install Wblinds through SDC

Bon Maintenant, Now I have installed 3.50.052 again and that is what is showing now in SDC.

I hope I did the right thing

here's a double dahhh........right in the History it says:

3.9
---
-First external alpha release of WindowBlinds 4. The
initial few builds will be XP-only to help us narrow
the scope of problem reports as the development cycle
proceeds.


What where you saying about fine print Jam?

GG....does it work??????????????????????????????

so far it does but the funny thing is that it worked pretty well before also.
once in a while (about every few days a message would load say I had a WBlind DLL problem) Totally confusing!!!!

I love a plan that comes together......Carry on GG

Time for the Sledge Hammer......

3.50.052 is what is showing now in SDC.
I also put release versions only showing.

Is 3.50.052 a released version or beta?
I know the beta version is only for XP users.

that should be the released version

Keep your fingers crossed for me in the coming days. If I see that message again one more time I think I will scream!!!
*/me is part Scottish,Irish,French and it is not pretty when she gets upset!!!

I would like to that everyone for your patience in helping me tonight, especially yrag and JM !!!! It's always nice to know that there is help out there when you need it.
