AFter a while my Windowblinds is making my start menu all weird. The recent items side of the start menu turns black and my controls on the right are not menus any more, you have to click to open them. Also I can't get into the programs menu i have to right click on it and go to programs. Can someone please help me this is getting to be a pain in the ass.

open WB configure, click 'system information' and copy/paste the info here

unless your running the trial version and it's been 60 days - in that case the time's up and it's time to consider purchasing (the full ODNT package is a better deal)

are you using cursor XP? I have seen some people have similiar problem. After switching cursors, they had no problems.

Folks I will tell ou what there is a problem with Window Blinds 5, because I have ran it on ghtis machine with out running DesktopX and never had the Black start section and have to reboot the macine. This is a purchached version with-in Object desktop and as soon as I turn my DesktopX on here we go again the black start bar and total crash as far as running other programs.

The Start section will loose all of it's skinning and then I have to reboot and she will run foor a while and the presto Black edge around the start bar and Start section is Black.

Some how the two just are not ready for each other.

Can anyone help.

Here is the system info:

I am going to try and turn off the per pixel section and see what happens, but with an Nvidia fast card it should support it. Is there a trick to the Nvidia settings for the per pixel settings.

I really love both programs and would like o fix this.

I will get back to this thread if turn off the per pixel helps and let you know.

Thanks
