Published on May 31, 2003 By Stardock Central In WinCustomize News

There may be a problem with certain builds of WindowBlinds 3.5A expiring. We will have a new build of WB 3.5 available on Monday for those affected. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank goodness for that. I've been uninstalling & re-installing to try & resolve the problem, finally re-installed the previous version to rectify....thought I might have some type of system conflict or virus. Thanks for the post, guys, I can sleep peacefully now,

Well, Monday will be in 12 hours here ...

So i think the Stardock team will do the correction just after coming back from mass and before having an aperitif, just to be sure it will be avaible for everyone on monday 00:01 am everywhere

But why did they included this expiration in the programm?There must be a reason for this...if not, it would be totally senseless...

Vulture: I think some beta builds had expiration dates set to encourage installing of oficial builds. My guess is it was just overlooked when the final was released.

Ha, When I started up my computer it didn't load any skins whatsoever .I reinstalled WB ( after an unistall ) , yes even downloaded it again, but still nothing . I thought I was the victim of some virus , but this explains everything. For compensation we deserve one free skin of a skin-suite which you'd have to pay for normally I think

There's not supposed to be an expiration in the released builds. What I suspect happened is that a beta build got promoted to release without anyone remembering it had an expiration date.

it's the same problem with WB 3.5 (which was not a beta) and maybe with previous non-beta ones (i did'nt try)

I have version 3.5 and It stop working seven days after I purchased it. It will only change the color of my windows 98 default skin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I downloaded it again and reinstalled, still nothing but a $20.00 color changer. Please help me.

Thanks

The same here on my Win2000 office machine. Since today, it's only a color changer. What's more strange is that the display settings dialog windows shows nothing and when I close it , it crashes.
