Explorer closes after clicking the TaskBar

Sunday, March 23, 2008 by cattoaj | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hi, I'm running WB on XP Build 2600.xpsp.080212-005. When I right click the Task Bar, explorer simply restarts. Is there any advice available? Thanks for any help.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 51 x86)

Best place to start would be before the shit hit the fan & what you've done since that's made the taskbar thing happen ,as Bichur recomeneded disable NVIEW (nvidia's graphical adjustment software called "nividea nview desktop manager" , my next step if that's already disabled would be a spyware scan & virus other than that there's not much else to go on.

ps:actually there is something else: two words-
acronis
ghost

Bichur & xscorpx: updating WB to v.6.1 and disabling nview solved the problem. Tks. xscorpx: what did you mean by mentioning acronis and ghost?

I use Acronis TrueImage v11. Very easy to use and works great.
