WBLIND.dll missing

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello.

My problem is:
I install WB6 (Clean install) on my Vista. Then apply a skin and reboot. After reboot I some parts of the skin is messed up. Parts missing (Like buttons) or weird color. Then when I try run WB6 i get the error "WBLIND.dll is missing. Please reinstall." Why do I get this error after reboot? Is there any fix for this? (Theme I used was both Vista and WB6 compatible)

Please to help us to help you can you provide your systems informations they look like this:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated 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.

you can find it by right click on the Windowblinds system tray icon and under "system information" on the WB application
Now in WB6 you have even a Copy text button to help you

Until then I'd try uninstalling via Stardock Central, reinstalling, immediately rebooting (before applying a skin) then once booted up apply a skin and see if that fixes it.
