Blank menus

Yes, it could be the fonts, especially if they were native windows fonts. A screenshot would help tho.

MG - This might help:

This is a shot of a sub menu with slider adjustments.

(I deleted it)

Well, it was a picture when I posted. I can't get it to work.....

Why not go back and edit out the text wall, MG?

If you can take the screenshot and upload it to imageshack or to photobucket, then just post the link?

Also, did you try to restore the text (reply #2)?

Oops. I tried the html box...no go.

Send me the pic and I can post it, if you like.

OK, let's see if this works! Crossing fingers....

Are you using XP or Vista/Win7?

Are you using the correct substyle for your OS?

Mouse Goddess, if you click the small picture icon in the reply box you'll get another box that will allow you to paste in the url that you have above, and that will in turn show the picture. 

I read the article-I'm running Vista and also I think that deletes everything but the Windows fonts and I have a lot of fonts I couldn't replace.

(Hmmm, guess I could back 'em up first. DUH!)

OK, I know you posted it for me (thank you) but I wanted to try out what you said. It looks good now, but it did before, until I posted it! LOL

Here goes.....

WOW, it worked! Thanks for that info, Dude. I just never paid any attention to the buttons on this forum, or ever wanted to post a pic.

Now, another problem, I just noticed the text on some parts of this site is pink!

what is that menu from? what program? I have seen something similar in windows 7 while going through the Winstep configuration menus.

Edit: that IS a winstep menu, lol. I get the same thing there. I think it might be a winstep issue. Have you seen it anywhere else?

Nexus Dock, advanced fluid  surface settings, I just checked it with a few blinds, all ok.

Wiz, what version are you using? I'm using Winstep Extreme 11.6.

MouseGoddess, just do this:

Open the elevated command prompt by choosing "Run as administrator"

in the window (dos) which opens, type in the syntax  sfc /scannow

as I typed it with a space between the sfc and the /scannow   but no space after the slash.

Therefore - to sum up:

1. Open Command Prompt.

   Important: You must run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 7 and Windows Vista to use System File Checker.

2. Once Command Prompt is open, type the following command and then press Enter.

   sfc /scannow
   

   Note: There's a space between sfc and /scannow.

3. System File Checker will now verify the integrity of every protected OS file on your computer.

   Note: In some situations, especially in Windows XP and Windows 2000, you may also need access to your original Windows installation CD or DVD.

4. Restart your computer if sfc /scannow did actually repair any files.

   Note: System File Checker may or may not prompt you to restart but even if it doesn't, you should restart anyway.

11.6 here as well. Didn't Knot Aero come as an XP skin first (Knot Vista) Is MG using the correct one for her OS?

It does this on all the blinds in my inventory except the Aero ones, which is why I was thinking it was a Winstep issue. (shrugs)

Yes it is! Very astute of you, I'm impressed. 

Yes, I just double checked and It's the right one for Vista. I knew I couldn't be lucky enough that it was that simple. Good thought though.

BTW, I've tried all kinds of blinds and it's the same on all....

Nope...not here...

I just sent a PM to JC, maybe he can shed some light on this. I am wondering where that font color is getting pulled from because it's doing that on my WIP too, and I want to fix it if I can.

Edit: Jim just tried on my new skin, and is not seeing this issue....so, what is causing it? I have never deleted any fonts from my PC.

@MG   Open Impulse (if you still have it) and go to your software tab. Right click on WB7 while holding down shift and select Verify Installation. If WB is not installed correctly, reinstall it from your registrations page. (it won't update through Impulse.) If it IS installed correctly, have you recently updated Winstep?
