Same problem here.. On top of that I have a fx 5200.. Why couldn't you guys test this on x64? I waited my fair share of time too..

WindowBlinds 5 BETA Troubleshooting Report:


WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

If you suffer visible corruption (overbright) on the frames and have a NVIDIA board then please be aware this is a NVIDIA bug. It has been seen on GeForce 4 cards and some FX series cards.

Video Information

You have 2 monitors.

(hp f1903 flat panel monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT

'NetMeeting driver' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV1', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.

'RDPDD Chained DD' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV2', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.

PLEASE report all this information when submitting a problem report, especially anything related to per-pixel skinning. We don't know what's in that Dell you bought last July or the notebook the office gave you. Per-pixel skinning requires your drivers to at least claim to support the functions needed for it.

Sorry, Same problem as the first poster. Non x 64 though. No skin apply at all. I uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled also. No changes. I turned on my themes service also. Only windows classic.

It's not about testing it on x64, we simply don't have an x64bit version yet.  An x64 version will come.  You can blame Microsoft for their hacky way of implementing 64bit versions, it actually requires a totally different version of WB.

Does not work on my system either. I have windows xp 64 Professional and a 7800GTX. It would appear as if they didnt do much testing on x64. Some official notification would be nice. I am tempted to install regular winxp just to try it out. After purchasing OD just to try the beta, it is very dissapointing

Thanks for the notice, Brad. When can we expect an x64 version? WB5 looks amazing, and I'm considering backing down to 32 JUST for that. But if a version is coming out soon, I won't bother.

P.S. - Next time tell me before I install it, silly =P.

Eh.. Same xxZeroVirusxx as I can't apply any skin

You have one monitor in total.

XP Pro SP2, ATI Mobility 9700 with 128M, single display (Dell Inspiron 9200). Installed, rebooted, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted - no skin application, just "classic" Windows.

Hmm, if you select a theme through Display Properties > Appearance it loads the default windows classic theme on every WB theme..

I just tried to run it on my brother's computer. His graphics card is only like 64-MB. On his computer, WB is installed correctly, but per-pixel is disabled (because it says it isn't able to do it).

Still won't work.

On my other brother's computer (he has a fairly new computer, good graphics card..not quite sure what it is, but I'll add it in a minute). Everything in troubleshooting is fine. Except it still won't work.

Both brothers have 32-bit processors (XP, of course).

Back to luna xp default. aaaaaaaahhh. *twitch* .going back to 4.6, I can't handle this.

Can someone please tell me if this info is correct I thought my graphics card would work fine? Radeon 9200 Pro

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

Is there anyone who doesn't have the FX series card, has Windows XP 32-bit, has only one monitor listed, and whose machine supports per pixel borders? I'm wondering if the problem is any combination of what I listed.
