Thank you for choosing Stardock, The Stardock Support Team <---------------------------------------------------------------------------------> <---------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Stardock WindowBlinds 7.1.273 + Patch Release date: June 08, 2010 WindowBlinds is an one-of-a-kind utility that allows users to completely change the look and feel of Windows to however you want it to look like by applying a new skin. WindowBlinds allows you to completely customize your desktop look by changing the style of title buttons, bars and toolbars. You can change the look of buttons and check boxes by assigning them skins, or personalities, and you can assign buttons that will launch programs to toolbars. You can create your own skins, choose from the four that are included in the program, or download additional ones. There are thousands of different skins to choose from that are freely downloadable from the WindowBlinds website. A WindowBlinds skin can change to look like an alternative operating system, favorite sports car brands, favorite sports team, or virtually anything else. You can also choose to exclude certain programs from WindowBlinds if you don`t want to change their appearances. Applying visual styles: In addition to the shortcut to the WindowBlinds Advanced Config window in your Start menu, you can change WB visual styles and settings from either the Skins or Appearance tab in Display Properties. Set the skin to Windows Classic to not use a WB skin on startup (or use the options on the Skins tab or in the Advanced Config window). WindowBlinds has been designed and tested to be as compatible with with thousands of applications and pieces of hardware available. Its memory load is quite low (unless you are using complex skins with lots of animation) and any oddities with specific apps can generally be worked around quickly (see the Troubleshooting section of the online help file for more information). With modern video cards, WindowBlinds can do this without reducing performance. WindowBlinds 7 adds the ability to have "blurred glass" window borders on XP which allows artists to make skins that could make XP look virtually identical to Vista. Introduction ------------ WindowBlinds is a software utility that allows users to completely change the look and feel of Microsoft Windows. It works by applying new visual styles, called skins, across the entire user interface (title bars, push buttons, start menu, taskbar, etc.) of the operating system. As a result, users gain complete control over the way Windows looks. Since 1998, WindowBlinds has been the defacto standard when it comes to customizing the look and feel of Microsoft Windows. A WindowBlinds users can apply thousands of free skins from the Internet that change title bars, push buttons, Start menus, scrollbars and every other element of the Windows GUI. WindowBlinds gives users the power to personalize their Windows experience to match their particular style.

This one-of-a-kind program can change virtually every element of the Windows graphical user interface. Because WindowBlinds extends the existing painting routines of the operating system, it uses very little memory. With thousands of free skins to choose from, you can customize Windows to look like another a new take on the standard Windows look, a totally different OS, or something completely different. A Thousand Faces Whether you're using Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, WindowBlinds 7 provides native skinning to the GUI. It integrates so seamlessly into the operating system that it is the only solution Microsoft itself has ever licensed to deliver custom- branded themes for its users. WindowBlinds 6 is Microsoft certified and WindowBlinds 7 is even better. As good as someone might think Windows looks, it is a one-size fits all solution.

WindowBlinds is so flexible that users can create skins that mimic the look and feel of other operating systems. Not Just Eye Candy WindowBlinds doesn't just make Windows look better, it can make it more functional. You can create your own skins that add additional buttons to the title bar that provide additional functionality such as roll-up buttons, link buttons, program short cuts, even media player controls. Moreover, because WindowBlinds uses the latest features of your graphics card, it can make Windows even faster than the default Windows XP or "Aero" style.

Sometimes also they're added to the virus/spyware database and will be detected as malware. If not trusting keygens, patches, cracks etc don't use them. 02- To avoid AV software removing/blocking clean cracks etc: exclude the crack or folder from being auto-protected & auto-scanned by the AV software. 03- If AV software removed a clean crack usually it can be restored (if it's not in Quarantaine then look at History or something similar). 04- To avoid risks when using cracks also Sandboxie can be used to test them: http://www.sandboxie.com/ http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4918844/Sandboxie_v3.38___Keys_[RH] 05- Before running .exe-files, keygens, patches, cracks etc always check first if they can be unpacked. Often some thirth party added a virus to the original file, repacked it, and uploaded it again. 06- Letting AV software software sending scan results to their companies can cause keygens, patches, cracks etc being added to their virus-database. 07- Firewalls which are set to automatically decide for connections will allow connections for lots of apps & MALWARE!. To avoid so firewalls should be set to decide yourself which connection to allow or not. 08- Clicking on unknown links can coz malware being silently installed on a pc! 09- Usually (new) torrents with extreme many downloads & seeders in a short time are very suspicious! Torrents with a SKULL-logo are trusted. 10- Some (frustrated) people use multiple accounts and post lots of FAKE comments and/or files trying to spread confusion. Usually they NEVER seriously reply on comments and don't have any torrent, or to look reliable just a few. 11- In general often there are more fake & negative comments than reliable & positive comments. 12- In some countries uploading/downloading copyright-protected material is forbidden, but showing some appreciation to reliable uploaders is not. 13- Posting FAKE comments & uploads on TPB can result in getting banned from TPB! For reporting bad or suspicious torrents: http://forum.suprbay.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=29 For visiting "TPB's Most Ridiculous Comments": http://forum.suprbay.org/showthread.php?tid=24699 For visiting my TPB account: http://thepiratebay.se/user/RobbingHood/ This torrent is scanned with: 1- Norton Internet Security 2- Avira AntiVir Premium 3- avast! Pro Antivirus 4- Kaspersky Antivirus Also scanned with most well known antispyware. Reported malware detected by other anti-malware software probably are false positives! <---------------------------------------------------------------------------------> To the "United Reliable The Pirate Bay Users", Nowadays a lot of TPB members abuse their TPB membership by intenionally posting fake comments & files. Their meaning is just to spread confusion and try to frustrate TPB and it's users. And less downloaders = less seeders = less downloadspeed etc etc. It's in the benefit of TPB and all reliable users to warn each other about people who intenionally keep posting fake comments & files. It's an easy answer against those who intenionally keep posting fake comments & files, which is a never ending issue. When reporting errors or false positives just keep in mind that what goes up for one does not always goes up for another. That's for both the working of an app and about false positives! Remember: whatever is said, say it constructive! Let's just try to help each other and TPB by thinking about what's said & posted. Things are all up to you, the "United Reliable The Pirate Bay Users"! Enjoy The Pirate Bay * Status torrent at August 16, 2010 - 00.45 CET: clean, tested & working.

 Anacondaz (2010-08-17)

thanks for the nice upload mate

ldd3081 (2010-08-17)

thanks a million, chap, much appreciated. just one question: this is the regular, not the enchanced version, correct?

LColCAF (2010-08-17)

Can s'one reports if it works - mine still says shareware...

ldd3081 (2010-08-17)

@LColCAF - same here, stays shareware. After setting the date 10 days forward it says "20 days remaining". Guess we'll have to wait for a working wb7 a bit more.

ninjanutta (2010-08-18)

works for me on win 7 x64,you really have to make sure your firewall blocks net access at all times for windowblinds,then it will work,i can even download themes from their site.Its been a long time coming,thanks.

Faziri (2010-08-19)

Oh i hope this works, been waiting for it for so long ^^
Thanks RH, this ain't the first time i'm using one of your excellent products! Good picks!

cweb512 (2010-08-20)

When trying to run the patch, I receive the message Can not access the file. Maybe it's in use... Please close the file before patching! Try to access the file again now? No matter what I try, I am unable to access and patch the sevenconfig.exe file. I have checked the task manager to close all windowblinds tasks and I have even rebooted, but to no avail. Little help here RH, love your work.

hoshi112 (2010-08-20)

Patch does not work with windows 7 64bit. This sucks.

Faziri (2010-08-20)

I can download themes from wincustomize and install them without any problems, plus i got zonealarm so that thing is coming nowhere close to an internet connection... but i'm not very sure it works because it appears registered and works fine, but i do keep getting the popup about "only 30" days left...
Ah well, it works ^^

kamekaz3 (2010-08-21)

Well the patch was successful but the "30 days left" trial crap still pops up, and the days does decrease as time goes by. Anyone else that said it worked have this same problem?

kamekaz3 (2010-08-21)

After the patch I still get the 30days left trial thing.

ralph078 (2010-08-22)

robbinghood i am looking for a new version of tuneup media hope you can help me

LordReserei (2010-08-22)

Thanks for this upload RobbingHood.
Fast download speed, works perfectly and safe as with all of your uploads! =)

hameerabbasi (2010-08-25)

Thanks RH. Can u please up the newest Object Desktop as well?

wilson1375 (2010-08-26)

Looking forward to this! Also, appreciate the tips u posted as well. Never thought to try unpacking exe's

jhon69 (2010-08-26)

AVG internet security says "patch_WindowsBlinds.7.1.273.exe -> Troyan drooper.Generic2.FAN
also the patch is infected!!!

Devione (2010-08-26)

Robbing, thanks alot for the upload. Unfortunately, every time after I apply a new theme, the 30 days left pops up. This was done after installing, patching all while still disconnected from the internet.
I've done everything from blocking Windowblinds from accessing the internet using ZoneAlarm and installing it disconnected from the internet.
What am I doing wrong?

iceblade1007 (2010-08-27)

i got the sam issue, its says 30 day trial .

MaTiSrAw (2010-08-27)

This doesnt even work. I disconnected my internet, blocked all of the WindowBlinds 7 files from accessing the internet with my firewall, patched it "succesfully" all though it is a false patch because it still gives me the 30 day trial thing and it still says my trial has expired! God...where can i find a free WORKING windowsblinds 7 crack! Its my finishing touches to making my PC look lyke a Mac

MaTiSrAw (2010-08-27)

Dont even believe all these positive comments of ppl saying it worked. they r ppl who havent even tried it yet nd is jus supporting RH

Devione (2010-08-27)

Firstly, just to set the record straight, I don't think that Robbing here or any of the esteemed uploaders owe us anything. If anything, we should be thankful that there are people like them.
Secondly, I won't go as far to say that those who got it working were intentionally saying or "supporting" Robbing here.
I'm merely curious as to whether i've done anything wrong, because the instructions were rather vague besides blocking WindowBlinds and patching. Besides, Robbing isn't the kind of uploader that uploads shitty torrents anyways.

narutoxela (2010-08-28)

i have a problem with the patch... when i try to patch the programm it says crc32 check failed so nothing gets patched

g0dsize (2010-08-28)

@ Robbinghood: How about replying to some of the people with legitimate concerns rather than resort to trolling on your own torrent?
With that out of the way, this torrent is the same as countless other WB7 torrents - it patches, but the program is still shareware/trial, with or without your net connected. WB doesn't connect to the net to check your trial period anyway, it uses your PC's date and the install date.

rjjgenius (2010-08-28)

---->>>RobbingHood
Sir, your Windows Blinds 7.1.273
Doesn't work in my Windows XP. Still it always says that it is a Shareware.

Devione (2010-08-28)

Ok, I take that back.
It seems now that if I apply a new skin, the popup with a countdown that does move and decreases is present, however if accessing the program directly and applying other installed skins the popup and countdown asking for purchase does not move / decrease.
This crack works. Thanks alot Robbing.

rjjgenius (2010-08-28)

--->>RobbingHood
Thank you sir for the reply...
I Already installed & Patched it....I will wait for a days for what will happen...if it will works...
Thanks again..

Bruno100Cdz (2010-08-29)

When trying to run the patch, I receive the message Can not access the file. Maybe it's in use... Please close the file before patching! Try to access the file again now? No matter what I try, I am unable to access and patch the sevenconfig.exe file. I have checked the task manager to close all windowblinds tasks and the same message appears again, what is the problem here???

Devione (2010-08-29)

You have to run the patch as administrator.

Swatspeedman (2010-08-31)

Im getting a
Try rechecking it plz?

AeonOptic (2010-09-01)

Epic. 14881 days of window blinds trial left. For those who don't know, that's about 50 years.
Cheers!

Devione (2010-09-01)

Aeon,
care to share what methods you used?

Minee22 (2010-09-03)

@RobbingHood
Is it possible to point to a link about how to unpack an EXE then repack it after you take out the virus.
Thankx Brotha.

Minee22 (2010-09-03)

Also can you do the Object Desktop suit?

alansainsbury (2010-09-03)

thanx to the uploader for this great, i dont understand some folks now a days i got this to work first time.
To all that down loaded this and couldnt get it to work its pretty obvious that you have never used patches or cracks or yous wood have been ok.

Devione (2010-09-03)

@Robbing
I did. I blocked all Windowblinds from accessing the internet as well. All I got was one countdown timer that gets stuck at "30 days remaining" and a pop up countdown that actually decreases in time.
I was merely curious as to what AeonOptic did to get 14881 days left.

XMercer (2010-09-05)

I downloaded this torrent, followed the instructions, etc. However, when I go to re-color a theme, it still says it's the trail version, and I can't recolor it.
Did I do something wrong here?
Please let me know: outta_my_mind@live.com

Abdk (2010-09-06)

@ narutoxela
Got the same problem.. :(

Soluna (2010-09-11)

Well, I did as the instructions have told me;
I disable internet before and during installation.
After installation, I used Windows Firewall to block each and every program inside the Stardock folder from the internet.
I patched the program by running as Administrator, and the patcher said that it was done.
The counter is at 29 days now; I suppose I should let it drop to 0 to see how it goes.
Am I doing anything wrong?

MaTiSrAw (2010-09-13)

This guy is fuckin bullshit. He doesnt even reply to legitimate questions such as Soluna and XMercer. Why wont u actually help for those kinds of questions. Exactly, because u have no answer to it because THIS CRACK DOES NOT WORK!!! the crack doesnt do anything and the WindowsBlinds is still a trial and it still goes down as days past. When will someone post a real working crack in ThePirateBay Community. Fuck this RobinHood bitch. He SCAMMED US ALL.

SLeePYG00 (2010-09-14)

I followed the same method as the WindowBlinds 6:
>Install
>Kill WbVista.exe & VistaSrv.exe
>Patch
>Restart
>Open
And it's counting down as a trial. 28 days left. I'm gonna let it go and see how it goes. This is on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 from this site.
My friend, who is using Windows XP Home 32-bit, followed the same method, and got the 14,896 days. So that could be an issue with Windows 7, and maybe Vista?
I'll repost when the trial runs out and let you guys know.

SLeePYG00 (2010-09-14)

UPDATE: I just changed from a downloaded skin (Wincustomize), to Aero Clay, it switched over, then when I changed back to the downloaded one, it reset the trial time to 30 days.
So this really is working, and maybe this will help some of you, I hope!!!!
Good luck!

Soluna (2010-09-15)

@SLeePYG00 - Thank you so much!!
I did what that user did and it worked the same way. I just changed my theme to one of their themes, then I changed it back to what I wanted, and then the counter went back to 30 days. I would have never found this myself since I would never change.
Anyway, thanks a million to RH for uploading this, and SLeePYG00 for finding this out!

Oppareul (2010-09-15)

Help guys whenever I try to open the patch this pops out:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."

MaTiSrAw (2010-09-18)

@Robbinghood u would spend ur time to look up on the search, "how to rape bears" yeah how does that make u look. u would think of that so go fuck ur hairy ass child since u fucked a bear bitch ass. U cant come up with a real reply answering my question of why u wont help ppl with LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS SUCH AS, "Why is it still a trial" ur a fuckin gay ass fucker.

Faziri (2010-09-18)

Well, mine just expired even though i did everything correctly (and this is by far not the first time i'm using cracked programs, i'm also not a computer noob at all) and it even fucked up windows as it went down: no title bars, half of firefox was missing, couldn't open the settings screen, etc... :( i already noticed last time that reinstalling won't help since even Revo and Glary's RegRepair can't find the last few thingies that remain after uninstalling to tell the next installed version that the trial is over :(

VenusAnnie (2010-09-18)

Oppareul - The reason that you get that error is because your anti-virus is trying to block you from opening the file. A lot of anti- virus programs will treat piracy software like viruses, so you never know if the file is really a virus or not unless you try to figure it out yourself. (Ex. file size, icon present when not blocked, etc.)
1.) If you use AVG, open it's main console and click tools -> settings and select PUP Extensions on the left. Click add exception and browse for the file you want to have the scanner ignore.
2.) Click Excluded files (under resident shield) and then click add and find the file you want the resident shield to ignore. (Just an FYI, Resident shield is what AVG uses to actively protect your system. When you browse a directory, it will scan that directory for you and it also scans some things in the background as well.)
Hope this helps. The file should open and give you an icon if you refresh the folder. =)
MaTiSrAw - It's OK. I like raping bears. 'Tis loads of fun! =) lol

iaKH (2010-09-19)

RobbingHood, any idea if a cracked version of the new objectdock (2.0) will be released?

joshc1 (2010-09-19)

i have used some of robbinghoods torrents.... and yes they do what there supposed to do... dont leave bad comments cause your av says there a virus... or your new to this scene and you dont know how to use it... im not going to say noob cause thats just messed up... you should help the person not down them..... and robbinghood you do put up alot of good torrents... well some good and some bad... but fuck why do you have to be such a little bitch about things.... making fun of peps just cause they ask you a question... i bet your just alittle nerd that sets behind your comp all day looking at porn... then checking your little torrents to see who you can belittle... get some pussy and grow up life isnt about this shit... and you should be helping the peps that ask questions there the only reason you got that skull.. im done with the piratebay cause of asses like this moving on to kickass later....

Oppareul (2010-09-19)

@VenusAnnie
Thank you very much! That fixed the problem and this was all worth it. :)

PTFUNO (2010-09-20)

Works great! I got the 14,896 days
Only problem I dont think it will work if your WB is already expired cause it wont work on mine. When I start it up it says its expired, yet the trial message comes up saying I have days. Sadly I cant do anything on it because its still considered expired I guess, if anyone knows a way to remove the expired/reset the days it would be appreciated!

arunkrishnanr (2010-09-22)

COME ON !!! SEED SEED SEED MOTHERFUCKERS !!!

Bi3hop2004 (2010-09-23)

Tried everything but cant get this shit to run properly. Seems like theres no way to remove all traces of old trial installations. It will still come up with the old trial period though Ive removed that shit like 2000 times (custom). Suggestions appreciated..

Bi3hop2004 (2010-09-23)

@g0dsize: confirmed. classical logic: what is more likely the simple or the complicated explanation? complicated: RH is the ONLY guy on the whole web to come up with a working WB7 crack; simple: his crack doesnt work just like the others, because Stardock knows their shit!

pyrtcargo (2010-09-25)

RobbingHood,what i consider is use a fresh installation of windowblinds 7 on a virtual machine then tell us the status of trail patch,at my side i've tried many times(on windows xp sp2,sp3 x86) but vain,as myself is in search of any good patch for windowblinds 7 for months.

pyrtcargo (2010-09-25)

I found the problem maybe,the installer provided in .rar is "build 90" and patch is for "build 273"

pyrtcargo (2010-09-25)

"arunkrishnanr" mind your language.

pyrtcargo (2010-09-25)

Just a prediction ,after 30 days gone for trail your skin will change to windows classic
[not only window's :-) but you as well because more you search the web for windowblinds 7.xx more you will fade off]
It's a scam, as packed installer tries to download some F|_|cking "flv pro player".

xandy319 (2010-09-27)

ok i did everything patched and ya all done but when i try to put a theme it only puts the windows 94 theme. why?!?!?! im a NOOB someone plz help!

reeboker_cz (2010-09-27)

thx RH, worked couple of days without prob. now shareware windows pops up every time I restart, even that I've patched tho, dunno the issue

aliazez (2010-10-06)

Good clean torrent. After burning my fingers, here is what I found:
1. Install.
2. Firewall WB.
3. Launch crack as admin.
4. Find seveconfig.exe file in x\program files\stardock\object desktop\windowblinds and apply patch.
5. Select any "stardock" theme, it will be applied.
6. Select any theme d/l from stardock. You will see 30 days notice.
7. Select "stardock" theme again. Now, windows will go into basic mode (aero will be disabled).
8. Select any d/l theme you like. Now you won't see the 30 day menace.
9. Always launch from sys tray and before changing theme, use "stardock" theme to get the basic look.
10. I don't yet know what will happen after 30days. :p

TheLochsmith (2010-10-08)

I do think there might be something wrong with this patch, or else I am doing something wrong.
I am running 32 bit windows as administrator, and no matter what I do I cannot get the patch to run. Moreover, it seems I have been denied access to the patch fullstop, as though the file itself were protected. I have also tried running it through the command line, with no results save the reply that I do not have access to the file.
It may be worthy of note here that after some frustration I attempted to copy and paste the file but was restricted even from that.
I'm sure the torrent works great for some people, but these are the problems that I am running into, and frankly have never had a problem with before.
Thanks in advance.

jesus. (2010-10-13)

Geez, this uploader really shouldn't ever work for customer service. Reading through all the comments and after having this torrent installed on my computer for 30 days, I can tell you that after 30 days, a window still pops up saying 14000 days are still remaining, but the trial is EXPIRED. You CAN NOT apply any Stardock or downloaded skins after 30 days are up.
What you CAN do, however, is momentarily reset your computer's clock to a date within the 30 days that you installed the software. For example, I installed a month ago, so I simply reset my computer's clock to 1 week ago, tried to apply a downloaded skin, and it WORKED! I then reset my computer's clock back to the correct date and it's still running as I type this.
I can't say whether this is attributed to the crack or just some flaw in Stardock's trial process, but it works if you don't mind doing it every time you start up your computer.
TL;DR: set your computer's clock to a date within the 30-day trial period, apply skin, set correct date, repeat when you restart your computer.

OK, I'm not sure how long this works, but I may have fixed a long overdue issue no one ever looked into. I ran SysInternals Process Monitor (Microsoft product) and watched what the system was doing when Window Blinds checked if it was expired or not. I noticed that it no longer says it's a trial all the time and it started allowing me to apply themes after using the Adrian patch. (I'd imagine that this one's patch will be a fine substitute.) So, here's what it was checking and how to fix it.
1.) Open C:\Windows\win.ini
2.) Remove the following lines:
[zktrpliAorkjhkW2]
weddpnnhgh87hjhkj16=1284437609
[sotiiperlpard]
ttttladrsariae=634200289869042460
Now when you try applying a theme, it should keep working. I just tried it and it works, but I haven't had it on here long enough to verify that it's a permanent fix. If you don't hear back from me, then everything kept working.

GREAT NEWS! The post I made above this one is the solution to getting rid of the trial ware screens. I've been using it for a few days now and the trial period box never shows up anymore. Now there's finally a cracked version of WB that works flawlessly.

Zonorra (2010-10-25)

RobbingHood, thank you so much for the upload. I can finally use WB on my Vista laptop!! yEAH! I patched as suggested and when I used the suggestion from VenusAnnie I was able to find only one file and a similar file to what she suggested to remove. I removed both and now my trial is for 14,937 days and I'm happy. Thank you!

I can't figure this out. I have had WindowBlinds 7 before, then i uninstalled it after the trial ran out. Then, I saw this crack came out so i reinstalled it, and used this crack. Everything was going good, except it kept showing the day count and it was going down. So i thought it might keep working, but when the trial ran out, it stopped and i uninstalled it. I reinstalled, used the crack, and now all the applied themes change to Windows Classic. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting, apply D/L themes and preinstalled themes in different orders one after another, I tried the VenusAnnie trick (this was after it already started going to Windows Classic), I even waited a month and reinstalled it. Nothing. It keeps changing the theme to Windows classic. Applying windows Aero changes it back, but thats it. Nothing else works. It looks like its gonna work, you see the screen blur and the little sign that shows the theme is applying is there, but when its done, it just changes to classic.
Please help me out here, I been trying this for so long and I can't figure out the problem.
Thank you so much.

VenusAnnie (2010-11-09)

@SnapplerX - Try this solution.
1.) Uninstall everything.
2.) Do my trick I posted.
3.) Clear your temp files:
%WINDIR%\TEMP
YOUR_USER_DIR\AppData\Local\Temp
YOUR_USER_DIR\AppData\Local\Stardock (Purge anything for WindowBlinds in this dir.)
YOUR_USER_DIR\AppData\LocalLow\Temp
YOUR_USER_DIR\AppData\Roaming\Stardock (Purge anything for WindowBlinds in this dir.)
Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds (Remove this directory.)
4.) Open Run and type regedit and search for Stardock and Windowblinds and remove all instances it finds that pertain to WindowBlinds.
5.) Reinstall, crack, and use the tweak I described. Here it is again:
Edit %WINDIR%\win.ini and remove the following:
[zktrpliAorkjhkW2]
weddpnnhgh87hjhkj16=1284437609
NOTE: If you only use WindowBlinds and no other Stardock products, just go through and remove anything Stardock related. Also, I use this method to clean up old programs that seem to be causing similar issues to what you are having. I didn't try it with WindowBlinds, but this should work. It's good to do this anyway.

thanks mate love it, cannot thank you enough for all your uploads mate!

@VenusAnnie
Thank you for the reply.
After following all of your steps, it still does not work.
Now, it still switches to classic mode but its different.
Now, it shows like seven instances of wbload.exe in my task manager processes tab.
Also, it keeps popping up that there seems to be an issue with your installation of windowblinds. would you like to fix it? Yes or No.
Neither button does anything and it pops up every time i try to apply a theme.
I have tried every combination of reinstalling, restarting and all the other steps but nothing works.
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

VenusAnnie (2010-11-16)

By the way, my tweak will extend your usage for as long as you need, but I found that it will show the 30 days remaining stuff when you restart your computer, but reapplying my tweak resets the timer.
@SnapplerX - This may or may not work, but repeat my instructions once again, but this time don't install the included crack. As my tweak is a timer reset tweak that modifies what the program checks, it may not be necessary to modify the actual program itself. I think the trial does everything the full version does, but it just stops working in 30 days.
Let me know if that works, I'd be interested to know. Oh, and the broken installation bit is because of the crack. It looks strange to the program is all, so I don't think it's an issue. Either RobbingHood's crack or another crack I tried said that it would say it once, you click OK, and then it stops bothering you, but won't hurt the program. If it keeps doing it, then yes, something was installed/cracked wrong and we can keep working on the fix.
I'll keep working with you whenever I have a chance. This is the most difficult program to crack I've heard and I know a lot of people just leave people hanging on here. Where's the caring in sharing is caring when people don't help people? lol

SnapplerX (2010-11-18)

@VenusAnnie
Thank you for being patient with me.
Its still not working.
I did everything you said and now its weird.
Instead of changing to classic, it now changes to windows standard. But, the buttons (close, min, max) do change to go along with the theme i picked. I did not crack it and the error window still pops up that it needs to be fixed. I have tried clicking yes and no but its still pops up every time i try applying a theme.
Also, the 30 days left window now appears.
This is very strange.
I went through the entire registry and every file that even contained the word 'windowblinds' (using EFS) and deleted them all (the ones that actaully had anything to do with the program).
It still not working.

@RafiCohen
What country are you in?

tonymorcom (2010-12-06)

Using windows 7. Have patched as per instructions carefully deleting every bit of old install inc registry entries and doing search of computer. Challenge is that every time I open wb it writes to the winini file the following:[zktrpliAorkjhkW2]
weddpnnhgh87hjhkj16=1291592619 It does not matter how often i delete it it just reappears again. There must be something else somewhere that is allowing this to be written. There is no mention of the other bit that it was suggested to be deleted in an earlier post. Any ideas guys. Have tried it all several times now with same results and incidentally still get 30 days message appearing.

MrSmithr (2010-12-10)

The patch isn't a great one. It just removes the "buy now!" button mostly. Doesn't work after trial runs out even with the suggestion. Although i am a pirate and always have been i bought a serial code while it was on offer :).

liblead (2010-12-28)

jeeez, I just paid for the upgrade and it sounds like I'm having more problems than you guys ! I'm told I've downloaded over 5 million skins in the three days I've had it and can't download any more. Really junk,,,

supanut2000 (2010-12-28)

For future downloaders I would recommended trying it inside a virtual machine eg vmware/xp mode/virtualbox/vpc2007.
Also disable shared folders!
Also create a snapshot before starting the program installation so you can revert things back!
Also read all comments before downloading torrents!
Bottom line is that, do not download things from bullies.

derrrface (2010-12-29)

I'll stick with 5.5; works great and doesn't require as many system resources as this build.

thevampire2604 (2011-01-07)

Nice patcher and all, but it failed. Same error as above.

crazeeeej (2011-02-07)

Working. I've tried making a full step by step but always database error?

crazeeeej (2011-02-07)

Complete Step by Step On how I got my WindowBlinds7 Working
Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate Platform 32bit
What I Did:
1.) Downloaded This Torrent AND DISCONNECTED FROM ALL INTERNET CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE (CRUCIAL! Do not forget this part)
2.) Installed WindowBlinds7
3.) My BitDefender blocked the patch.. so..
4.) Reboot in Safe Mode
5.) Extracted the patch again.
6. )Paste it in:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds
(depends on where you installed WindowBlinds)
7.) Run the patch as administrator.
8.) Reboot in Normal Mode
9.) Go to Control Panel - System And Security - Windows Firewall - Advanced Setting - Outbound Rules. Create a new rule to block sevenconfig.exe in the WinBlind directory.
10.) Applied a theme in WinBlind. The 30 days trial pops up.
11.) Reconnect to the internet.
12.) Go to C: - Windows and copy the win.ini file.
13.) Paste it a partition without your system. Usually in drive D: and edit it. Delete the find delete lines similar to these
[zktrpliAorkjhkW2]
weddpnnhgh87hjhkj16=1284437609
[sotiiperlpard]
ttttladrsariae=634200289869042460
13.) Saved the file and paste it back to C: - Windows. Move and replace.
14.) Go back to WinBlinds folder and edit sevenconfig properties. Set it to read only.
15.) Downloaded a theme from www.wincustommize.com
16.) Run the *.wba file. A Notification will appear on the system tray from WinBlind. Click to apply the theme.
17.) There it is. The trial period will pop up again.
I was so happy to see those digits that I had to make this right away to help those people like me. I am not sure that this will entirely work all through out the usage of Windows blind.
Most of the credit goes to RobbingHood and VenusAnnie !
Go Pirates! argghh !! xD

crazeeeej (2011-02-08)

I've notice that txt generated by winblind are sometimes still added in the win.ini.. i've tried erasing them again and made my win.ini read only. hope it still works. xD

norroolz (2011-02-16)

awesome torrent!!
did exactly what crazeeeej said and got trial extended for 15000 days!!

shady08em (2011-02-24)

works perfect ... thank you .. and thanx to crazeeeej also :)

Agent365 (2011-02-25)

i just downloaded this, and somewhere along the process of installing it my control panel disappeared, my anti-virus and windows defender stopped working, and now i am being denied access to regedit.
this torrent is balls.

bt5 (2011-03-17)

crack is a keylogger that steals your gaming passwords... trust your av scanner, not cracks...

Klasic Kumputerz (2011-04-06)

I get a "CRC32 check failed!" "Nothing patched" error from the patcher. Maybe someone that got it to patch successfully can upload a torrent of the prepatched file(s). Or maybe RobbingHood can? That way for those that can't get this patch to work they can simply copy & past the already prepatched files.

Pyrotechnotron (2011-07-15)

@NigelH you cannot make Windowblinds portable, because it creates multiple registry entries and has it's own service.
