jaclaz Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Any news on this - thread got hijacked about zip code questions. Right now a programm a paid for (donated for) is not working correectly Which is substantially the same situation as user lemontea3313's, he donated but can't use the program (because due to the Hong Kong missing ZIP code he cannot retrieve the key).You donated and you have the key, but the program does not work as expected. So you are either also hijacking the thread or the thread was not hijacked. Try uninstalling aeroglass, reboot and reinstalling it.Report what happens. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantrip Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 My symbols did not update automatically with this months patch. Any way to force the symbols to update before the install? Running off of a restore point at the moment. Thanks!it will only download them if it needs them, so if it doesn't download them, and is not broken don't worry about it edit: i just installed the last batch of updates after reboot glass8 downloaded symbols for me also. i wonder what they changed in dwm this time Unfortunately for me, my pc boots with a black screen where as I can only see the cursor after the update. I've had this issue in the past from Aero Glass and other updates. Any way to manually get it to update the symbols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja0 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have the same problem. Since Tuesday's updates I have an error message saying DWM is incompatible with aero glass. Any fix in the works? Or a way to manually update the symbols. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the problem persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 The procedure to manually update the symbols has already been discussed several times in this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanKenobi Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 For those - like me - who experience problems with the latest Windows Updates and Aero Glass,the procedure for manually installing symbols is easy.You probably don't even need to install Windows Debugging Tools Just create a txt in C:\AeroGlass or wherever you have AeroGlass installedPaste the following:MKDIR %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dllsCD C:\Windows\System32XCOPY "dwm.exe" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dllsXCOPY "dwmcore.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dllsXCOPY "uDWM.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dllsCD C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x64SYMCHK /r %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls /s SRV*C:\AeroGlass\symbols\*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbolsRD /S /Q "%userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls"Save the file and rename it to symbols.cmdRight Click and run as AdministratorThat's it, the Symbols folder should have been created inside your aeroglass installation folder! Hope this helps PS maybe info like this should be part of the OP, or be included in a readme or somewhere on aeroglass site? *hint hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Asking in case I boot my pc into a black screen again) *Edit: When I uninstall UltraUX my PC starts up with a Black screen. Even when uninstalling Glass first, and setting Windows 8.1 to the default theme (This is pre-monthly update too) Edited September 16, 2014 by ryantrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5isalivetm Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Greetings all I too had working glass and out of the blue I get error on logon.. "Symbols cannot be loaded" but after I press cancel the glass is working just fine ?! It could be my fault because I used DISM to reset base (which did save a load of gigs about 2-3GB) but it may have removed some files that Aero Glass needs ?

Jonny5isalivetm Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Just tried a fresh win8.1 install with all updates, and still is no go. Edited September 17, 2014 by Jonny5isalivetm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Jonny, I'm trying what you described in a fully updated Win 8.1 Pro virtual machine on which an Aero Glass for Win 8.1 donation key is in use. Before the DISM command, C:\Windows and all subfolders had: 124,860 files in 21,959 folders, size 21.4 GB. After the DISM command: 99,497 files in 21,011 folders, size 20.1 GB I had no problem at all with Aero Glass for Win 8.1. I saw no pop-up after a reboot and it functions fine. My conclusion: Resetting the base with DISM does not disrupt the functioning of Aero Glass for Win 8.1. Something else is wrong. -Noel Edited September 17, 2014 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5isalivetm Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Must be something on my end in that case..perhaps I need to try with a fresh iso Thanks for the reply Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztruker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Installed Aero Glass for Windows 8.1 V1.2.5 yesterday. I've rebooted several times since then, but just now when I rebooted I had this Command Prompt window on the Desktop and it would not go away by itself, I had to close it. Why am I getting this and what am I supposed to do with or about it?

NoelC Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Some of us saw that window once after the latest set of Windows Updates, then not again. Try logging off/on and see that it doesn't return. -Noel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
