LAST POST FROM ME - just so people can see Windowblinds - 19.95 changes the look of your desktop, stardock too worried about pirate copys - program doesnt even work for paying customer - DOESNT WORK - major frustration for end users! Worms 4 mayhem - 19.95 Incredible copy protection, hours of gameplay, fun, makes you laugh - and guess what! - IT WORKS! - no patch needed yet! Hmmm - hours and hours of fun for 19.95 VS hours and hours of pain and suffering 19.95 H

ok I was trying to be decent - yes CRAP - im not some out of the US fricken idiot - this is a forum so I used K instead of C ...

So - everyone has purchased windowblinds 5 just like I have - and you are all happy with it! - it seems there are 109 posts that say all you have to do is restart is safe mode! - Why - if this thing worked right would anyone have to reboot in safe mode! - This program was released way to early - way too many bugs - and NO FIXES - so all of us who paid 19.95 should be happy with rebooting in safe mode, uninstall - reinstall, then have windowblinds work until you reboot the machine again! - thi
