WindowBlinds kills Explorer

Saturday, September 20, 2008 by cattoaj | Discussion: WindowBlinds

When I right-click the taskbar with WindowBlinds active, Explorer is reloaded (or, at least, all icons on the desktop and the taskbar are redrawn and systray is rebuilt from scratch).

My System info data is the following:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.3 (build 65 x86)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

(Default Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

I would suggest you uninstall/reinstall WB. All the files that have date of 2008/04/28 are dated 2008/07/20 for me, same Build.

Thanks Cavan1 and Neil. I hadn't noticed that my WB was in an inconsistent state. It's ok now. However, I tried Neil's suggestion even before reinstalling WB and it fixed the Explorer issue.
