WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback
Wednesday, August 1, 2007 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Please post all feedback about the WindowBlinds 6 beta on this thread.
Note that the beta is for 32 bit XP and Vista systems only. Please do not post about it not working on 64 bit XP/Vista. Please continue to use WB 5.51 on those platforms.
This beta is for Object Desktop customers ONLY. Standalone WindowBlinds 5 owners will not be able to activate this build.
Please note that you must have Stardock Central 2.46 Build 154 or later to install the WindowBlinds 6 betas. If you try and use older versions, it'll eventually timeout and give you an error about an invalid URL.
If you have problems with it running at all, please uninstall WB6, reboot and then try reinstalling WB6 again.

oh meant to say the only ms application that it doesnt seem to affect for me is notepad. Wordpad, OE and explorer all keel over and disappear from the void.

And this happens with all skins?
yes - every single one of them except for the 2 'microsoft skins' at the begining of the choice of skins to load - i've been through all including the stardock skins.
jeese I could probably understand this if i used an illegal copy of wb - but im not

Do you get a crash address when it crashes?

Would SmartException help catch the crash data?
Thanks for that suggestion, I just installed it, rebooted and gave it a whirl, reporduced the problem and SmartException didnt catch a thing. So i reproduced it everywhere i have the problem hoping to catch something but it didnt at all.

Silverspider: Look in the Event viewer (controlpanel -> admin tools) as it may list the crashes with a crash address.

Hi Neil, yuo, nothing logged in there either and to be sure again, i've recreated the errors, checked the time, refreshed the event logs and checked under all the event viewer sections. Absolulty nothing is being logged as far as these errors are concerned.

Neil, Silverspider,
from your list of software. Isn't this a Start Menu replacement?
Seems to me like it would be suspect for conflicts with Windowblinds.

well thats why i disabled it, just in case, but i still get the problem. If you read past that you will see that I have run through disabling alsorts and uninstalling. The only time it ceases is by using the Stardock Skin Adamant. I discovered last night that there is another user with the same problem. He started another thread - i posted the link to that previously.
