Thanks but that wont do it (otherwise the backup cpl applet would work). There will be a registry setting to hook a WB dll into the display proprties box that needs to be removed... in fact... all of the WB reg entries should be removed after uninstalling (but they are not). Anyone know where the key is? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Po

*sigh* your insights into this problem just get better and better. Ever think of starting a consultancy? On a side note... I think this software sucks rectums in a serious way. I submitted a 'support' ticket two days ago. I am told I have 2-3 working days before I hear anything. That means that the soonest I will hear anything is Monday which translates to damn near a week since their program screw

My guess is that WB Adds tabs to the cpl applet via reg calls. If that conks out whislt trying to load then whammo... the box crashes out. Even after uninstalling... I run Regmon to view all the WB reg calls (there are a poop load). Most are to a WB.5 key... Then the last we see of it are calls to winlogon process.... then thats all she wrote. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb

Eh? This IS a bug. The fact is... it was there... it isnt now... that means WB did something. BTW: I do have a backup on my system of the .cpl files. The one in question (desk.cpl) is there. BOTH the backup AND the live one will not work. It has piddly to do with the graphics driver as I have installed a completely new card since and it STILL wont work. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/

Being a software developer... I can understand and empathise with what you are saying. However... the fact of the matter is that uninstalling any software (beta or not) should return your system back to what it was prior to installation. There is no way around the fact. The program is beta... the installation process shouldnt be. Their program has apparently changed something with my system outside of the scope of their program and it hasnt returned it once it was removed. The post that I wa

Um... I just read on a board where someone uninstalled WB and it came back... but it hasnt worked for me. I have been working some hours on this problem now and have gotten no where other than "wipe your HD and start again"... This really disturbs me seeing how I have just coughed up quite a bit of money for this software. > <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=f
