HELP PLEASE...
Wednesday, December 28, 2005 by lepew1 | Discussion: New Users
I'm a new user, so here goes.
I am using wb5, and every time I shut down then restart my computer with wb5 active my taskbar,"Start button,and quick launch Icons go black!" But if I open up wb5 and switch my theme to classic style first, then I can choose any theme I want and then it loads just fine! Please Help

Maybe your graphics card doesn't support per pixel. Do what aimzzz said.

Try updating to the most recent version and see if the problem continues. You are using a close but not most recent build.

I have the same graphic card, lepew1, so yours should be OK. I also run Home, with all updates (Windows) installed. That narrows us down some more. What do you have running at Start-up?

Do you use Panda antivirus? There are some interferences with it...

AVG or Avast will do you better, not so big and free (no subscription needed). Microsoft's OneCareLive works well, too; alas some have this thing against the giant money maker Gates.

NO THANKS! Tried AVG got to many viruses!!! I will stay with Panda!
Have paid version, and have had since 2001. Thought maybe there was a way to allow, if Panda was fighting it. If that was the problem.
I ran the older version wb4.6 with no problems, updated to wb5, problems started. So then I purchased wb5, thought it would help, then I updated, but still no help.

You'd have to find out which file Panda doesn't like, first.

I think there was something in the forum about it, but I can't find it. Would suggest making a new post in the StarDock Support section. Add your System Info (as above) and include in the title & in the description something about 'problem using WB5 with Panda'. With that specific information you should get a fast response there (barring interference from the holidays-- post asap)

I never heard anyone complain about AVG before. I have had it for years and have been virus free everyone of them, and on 3 different computers. Weird.
