same here - bloody hell and i was trying to do everything i could posibly do...

Hi,
First: 20 US$ for a "beta realised" version is too much.
Second: OK! how you will make the upgraded WB3.5 for registered users available?.
Third: An apologize is the Minimum Minimorum. How about a special WB4 fo W98 realised(without expiration time)?

Mine went down and it is now Monday and n sign yet in te Component Manager of the fixed version...why repair Ver 3.5 instead of releasing version 4 for platforms other than XP which not all of us have.How are we t know when the fixed up ver 3.5 is ready...will you place in th Componenet Manager ..or where..?

Behr : You should consider the time difference...

It's only 7AM in the US where Stardock is. They have to wake up and get into work first.

It should be in both the Component Manager and Stardock Central sometime later today.

The WB4-instead argument wouldn't work ... unless they already have it ready to go. The expiry removal will be a quick and easy fix (or should be), where as the WB4 upwork is not nearly so.

So ill be waiting in anticip for the 3.5 fix for now until the WB4 bit. Do need SOMEthing to tide us over.

All those in favor of Stardock providing free upgrades to Windowblinds 4.0 for registered WindowBlinds users to compensate for the hassle and time we all spent trying to fix the damn thing before finally seeing the "expiration notice" vote yes. Fat chance eh!

Monday 17:15 PM here ... and still nothing ... >

Get real ppl !
Free upgrades to WB4 for those of us using Win2000 is ridiculous. Besides that will be MONTHS from now. I want my skins back sooner rather than later.

I'm just hoping the "fix" will be available on OD because SDC isn't available for me. Someone up at the corporate firewall blocked the domain stardock.com and I can't get anything except news.stardock.com which I believe is coming on a different port. So If OD ever goes away - I will too I fear.

I'm thinking that this whole "timeout" bug was a ploy to find out how many non WinXP users are out there and are passionate about WB. It is like a drug and I need my skinning fix.

Thanks all!

Two days without WB? Big deal...what a bunch of whining babies. I'm glad they found the problem and are fixing it. Meanwhile, I'm just using WB4. Glad to see you're on top of it Stardock.

I wonder how, if it's just a "limitation date limit" in any part of the software, this is not corrected at this time ... ??? so one line of code to get rid off ??? what a long job to do ...

. . . and Photoshop 7.0 stopped working at the same time . . . hmmmmmmmm . . .

Been using WB since it first was introduced and since then have only had to upgrade from OD.Methinks this is an excercise by Stardock to see how many of us are NOT on XP so they can establish whether releasing WB4 is worth the effort of not.It is worth the effort,given the number of messags up here and the thousands that may not have put up a message. XP users comments also noted...don't get elitist on us lower mortals..we love our WB and are not whinging without good reason. We paid for our version of WB too and it ough not to expire.!!Our money is as good as your XP and probalby funded the WB4 improvements cum to that

I can assure you it was not intentional and we are working on the fix.

While its only 3-4 lines thats causing the issue, we have to test it and build installers & test those out before we can update it.  Plus the problem occured over a weekend which also delayed things.

Release the WB4 to compensate for our suffering!
