Windows blinds Dont skin my Xp taskbar -need help

Would be of some help if You said what skin You installed and what version of WB You are running.

oh sure.
version
4.3
and some of the defults skins.

and i forgat to say:
Xp pro SP 2 eng

I would have guessed about SP2. One question: Did you have SP2 installed before you installed windowblinds? Just curious. If not, you may try unloading and uninstalling windowblinds, reboot and try to install again. It seems that some people have trouble with windowblinds and SP2, and some do not. Mostly it seems that those who have problems did not unload windowblinds before installing SP2. So, maybe certain files didn't get updated properly with windowblinds running while installing SP2, or maybe some files got deleted from windowblinds or corrupted.

no its a new clean installiton of XP pro with sp 2 embeded into it.
meaning i installed Windows Blinds after i got SP2...
it skins everything else perfectly..
just not the taskbar & start menu.
any ideas?

Can you check the Advanced Configuration window? User overrides section - are any of the XP overrides ticked? If so, does it work if you untick them and reapply the skin?

You have version 4.3. You need version 4.4 for it to work correctly on the Athlon 64 with SP2, which should be available to download for all registered users, and a trial version will be out in the next few days.

ok il try it.
tnx TheGreenReaper

Someone told me to post here, so here it is:


I recently got the full version, and after installing and finding a nice skin, I apply the skin, but when I reboot the computer it goes back to windows XP classic???

What's causing this?

Running on an AMD 64 3200+/MSI K8N Neo Platinum/1Gb ram/WinXp Pro/SP2 Eng

If its not working for you when you reboot I would add a shortcut to wbload.exe in your startup group.

See if that helps.

Doesn't work, now it doesn't even work when I use it in windows..

What version of Windows blinds do you use?
4.4?
does it skin ur Taskbar?

running 4.3, doesn't skin anything anymore.. Last night it did skin the taskbar and windows, now it just changes the colors.

same for me
very ireatiting (problay misspelling this word )
i really want WB working

Wow, that a help these forums are....

There is a known issue with AMD 64 and windowblinds. I don't know if SP2 caused the problem. But, it is being worked on and should be fixed in the next build. Here is another messageboard response about the problem if you don't believe me.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one with this problem. I just got my new notebook with a AMD 64 processor and SP2 already installed. I just recently installed version 4.3 and had the same problem.

I'll keep a eye out for 4.4. I would buy Object Desktop but I have to wait till I get $$ to do so

/me waits

I have an AMD Athlon 3400+ and I'm running Windows XP SP2 NOR, got the same error (no skin on taskbar), hopefully it will be fixed soon

Lets resolve these threads and let them die peacefully, for once and for all. The resolutions to the AMD64 and SP2 problems can be found here.
