well i tried everything to fix it uninstalled, installed impulse used that to install windowblinds 6.3, still same problem, so i put in a support ticket hopefully they can help me getting working again.

hey philly, yea did that uninstalled registry clean with ccleaner and tuneup, then redownloaded it with impulse, going to try and rollbackmy ati drivers and see if that fixes it.

My windowblinds aren't working under vista. When I select a theme all i get is a nice error & a fucked up theme and then I have to restart before i can change the theme back

hey, yea they are trying to help but so far doing the same thing, only thing i can think of is that i went from nvidia 8800GT to Ati Hd 4870 and its doing this so they sent me a bat file to run that didnt help so now im waiting for a reply.

i just ran a new bat file they sent me and its still doing same thing i really want to use zing skin

thats what happens when i apply a windowblind skin, everything gets all messed up =[

OMG, I about started a new thread, glad I checked here first.  I'm running Vista Home Premium, 64 bit and same thing.  I was so excited to finally get to use Windowblinds on Vista as I've been running XP Pro for years and years.  So I finally get a new rig (quad core, 8 gigs of DDRII RAM and high end graphics card to do my 3D stuff with and thought... "hmmm, Windowsblinds might be fun at ths point"... yea... real fun. 

Icon Packager killed all my system and program icons, had paper icons in their place.  Unistalled and rebooted, go those back.  Windowblinds, Dragon theme, tweaked it up a bit and "apply changes" and got Windows basic, no Aero.  Ugly, old Windows theme.  Hideous.  Uninstalled that and luckily I had the tweaked Aero theme backed up in My Documents so I just applied Aero theme and then applied my "Green Theme" and got all my settings back.  Thank god for that at least. 

So is there nothing we can do here or just wait for an update, bug fix for this?? 

I can wait.  No biggie.  Just please no more hideous old Windows theme.  *gags*

I seem to be having the same issues as the OP.  I have a legit verion and vista ultimate 64.  I can only get the My Colors stuff to apply.  All the other styles and themes make the OS revert back to classic look.  Is there a problem with themes and 64 bit vista maybe?

I am running Vista Home Basic and WB 6.3 and having the same problem. It is really annoying. Also, I don't know what happened, but now when I run Impulse.. it will freeze and will be 'logging in' until I get frustrated and give up and shut down my pc. Dammit, Stardock, WTF?!?!

Everything with me was working fine until I applied the new Halloween theme with MyColors. After that I wouldn't get back the control of my system with WindowBlinds. Can't even see the theme previews with WindowBlinds and cant apply any new themes. Perhaps incompatibility with MyColors? Or maybe with the new Nvidia drivers?

Sorry to say, this morning Windowblinds is acting up again. Every time I try to start it theres an error message saying "Windowblinds configuration has stopped working and needs to close". My Vista machine is Vista 32 bit. Any ideas?

I'm having same problem.  (God, how I hate basic Windows themes!)  I figured my Spyware Doctor was the culprit, identifying WB as a Trojan.  But first, I disabled SD, then shut it down completely.  Still no change.  Thought about going back to a restore point with WB 6.2, but I've installed a new monitor and additional software since then and can't afford the hassle to redo everything.  Hey, folks, have we got a fix yet?!
