Spy Sweeper freezes after I install Window Blinds

Sunday, April 22, 2007 by Brightbelt | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Hi, I'm on XP Media Ed. SP2.

I already know to disable my Anti-Virus Program and my Spyware when I install Window Blinds. But still for some reason, Spy Sweeper freezes when I reactivate it after the Window Blinds install.  I can bring up the spy sweeper window, but it just freezes at that point.

I have also tried running different compatibility modes for Spy Sweeper and that didn't work - I haven't tried that with Window Blinds yet. 

One thing is clear - Spy Sweeper works again after I uninstall Window Blinds.

I appreciate any help anyone could offer. I love the Window Blinds Program and I'd  jump into other  Stardock programs with both feet if I could get this ironed out. I have installed the Logon program and Spy Sweeper has froze once. I did a restart and it went away, at least for now.

Many Thanks, Frank

open WB configuration
click - change the look of a particular application
click - add per application setting
browse to and add (one at a time) the various .exe for Spy Sweeper
exclude from being skinned

Ok, so by adding them to the 'Add Per Application Setting', this KEEPS them from being skinned?

Also, I'm familiar with .exe files to an extent, but I can't get whatever files are exe to show their extensions. I can request 'details' - are 'Application' files the same as exe files?

Thanks for your help and for sticking with me, Frank

open a folder such as 'my documents'
tools = folder options
view tab
scroll down and make sure 'hide extension for know file types' is unchecked
