Installed WB5B.002, reboot and no desktop icons, taskbar etc

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 by greglaw | Discussion: WindowBlinds

After upgrading my licence for another year, I installed the WB5b.002 update through Stardock Central, rebooted when prompted and when I logged into my profile, I had my desktop bitmap and nada else. No icons, taskbar nada. Uninstalled through another profile, rebooted, logged into that profile and same problem, desktop background but nothing else.
Uninstalled again, rebooted, logged in and got Windows classic interface and my taskbar minimised and on the left hand edge of the screen. What the?

I'm also running adaware which loads on startup and that crashed on this beta. The previous WB5 beta never had a problem. Can I download the "old" beta from somewhere?

I'm running XP 64Bit
2Gb DDR II
3.4Ghz LGA775
Asus P5WDL2
etc etc

Any clues would be grateful, and as I mentioned, even a link to the previous beta would be appreciated

Thanks

Greg

x64 - I am having the same problem with 001 and 002 where the explorer issue not working. This is a freshly install x64? Has some programs on it but not many???

Any ideas?

I am not aware of this problem occuring on 32 bit Windows.

The non beta release of WB should work fine on 64 bit.  Only the current beta release has problems on some 64 bit machines.
