Hmmph...ok. I checked my registry and found a few Stardock entries with bizarre characters in them under WBLiteFX - OverridexxxxUIS. I changed them to _Disabled, and now I can see the skins. Happy.
Lost access to my computer for little while...sorry. Re version of WB4 - according to the wb.txt file it's 4.6 [8/8/05] (couldn't find version number in the app itself).
Yes, everything is in the default path/s. Oh, yes sorry, I misunderstood. I have previously double clicked .wba files and it appears to install ok - I can see the relevant subdirectories, and files in them, so that appears to work ok. I thought you meant for me to double click one of the files in one of the subdirectories.
I went ahead and double clicked the UIS file, associated wbload and got a Windows message saying hopefully "A skin called " has been installed, you can apply this from the Appearance tab..." However it still doesn't show up in the Display properties Skins or Appearance tabs, nor in the configuration app.
Sorry to be a gumby, but what is the extension of the file I need to double click - is it the uis file?
Thanks for your help Daiwa. Yes, I rebooted after installation. Yes, by application I mean 'WindowBlinds Advanced Configuration' dialogue box. The 'Prevent... loading...' item in the display properties is NOT ticked.
I desperately want to use WindowBlinds on a PC running w2000 (for reasons I won't go into here, I can't upgrade the machine to XP). I installed WindowBlinds classic (v4) ok, but it doesn't show any skins in the application except 'Windows Classic'. I can see lots of samples in directories under the WindowsBlinds directory, but none in the application. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks, Sharyn
