Right Click crashes Exlorer
Sunday, October 28, 2007 by Rich | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I am using WB 6.0 (Build 36 x86). When I right click on the Task Bar it crashes the Task Bar and it "reboots" itself. In like fashion, when I open Windows Explorer and I'm navigating around my drives, if I click on any of the menu items like "File" or "Edit" explorer crashes and closes and then my Task Bar "reboots". If I unload WB, and use either the Windows Classic or the other native "skins", this does not occur. I am also using Windows FX and CursorXP. Neither of these applications seem to have any effect on this issue. I've currently turned SB off and am not using it. This is the first time I've ever had a major problem with the software and I'm a long time user, since 1.0. I'm currently running WindowsXP 2.

Rich: Could you post the WindowBlinds System Information text here?
If you're having a crashing problem when you are simply interacting with a system app, like Explorer, this could really only be caused by one of a few things:
- Another customization application is running (like nView, for example).
- There might be a security application (antivirus, antispyware, firewall, etc) disliking the action you're performing in particular and blocking WB's action by closing Explorer.
- Something could have gone wrong with the WB install.

Try clicking Stardock Support/WindowBlinds in the column on the right. Paste your system info again there, and copy and paste your original explanation above. This thread must have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Still having this problem with a brand new OS install. If I right click on the taskbar or I attempt to click on any of the menu items in the Windows Explorer application (like File\Exit) explorer and the taskbar crash and then reload. I have finally figured out the problem. If I turn off the Nview system, no crashes. So, this means that I cannot use dual monitor wallpaper

Doesn't Windows support dual monitor walls natively?

Neil's aware of the Nview issue.
Windows will clone a single wall (centered) or if you want something different on both monitors you need a single wall sized for both (tiled). ie 2- 1600x1200 monitors side by side = 3200x1200 wallpaper
If you use Ultramon, don't use the title bar buttons. They conflict with Windowblinds.

Any outlook on having it fixed with Nview? I like using Nview but have it turned off for now as I like my Stardock toys more.
