yahoo messenger crashing when i browse my computer

Tuesday, February 27, 2007 by shamrockBPD | Discussion: WindowBlinds

My yahoo messenger crashes whenever I call up a browse window. For example, saving or sending files, changing display pics or audibles... anything where i have to choose a location on my computer. It doesn't crash with right clicking or anything else. I thought i had a conflict between windowblinds and yahoo messenger (vers.8), but the fixes didn't work. I disabled visual themes on yahoo's end, and excluded messenger in the per application of windowblinds... still crashes. I do have the full object desktop, is there any other conflict i need to address other than windowblinds?

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.5 (build 84 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

ok, i uninstalled, downloaded a new SDC, reinstalled WB (with all the reboots) and yahoo still freezes, even if i have WB unloaded. Maybe it's not a conflict with windowblinds at all?

look in the yahoo folder again - if you only excluded on yahoo app and there are more exes, try excluding all of them.

from past posts, yahoo has an issue with being skinned.
I think Neil said once the WB was set to auto exclude it by yahoo keeps changing stuff so the auto exclude doesn't work

Yahoo excluded, WB unloaded.... maybe it's just Yahoo

In general if an app has a problem and WB is not running, WB is probably not the reason for the problem.
