Sorry for the dramatic title but would love to get some help on this problem..Posted it on support but it hasnt given me any answers *sniffles pathetically*
I've been having trouble with OS instability, mainly seems targeted on explorer. I found that if I just use WB - I have no issues, however once I start using DesktopX, XP becomes so unstable that I end up with a rebuild.
I installed WB and DesktopX on my partners PC (he's running the new 64) and had exactly the same scenario play out. Just WB - no problems but as soon as DesktopX went on (and used) - same story and now he is looking at a rebuild
Any assistance would be appreciated

Yep Scorpio - always clear my cache as my first action if I have trouble but apart from keeping all my objects and widgets squeaky clean, it doesnt assist in preventing the corruption of explorer.exe
Sir Bichur, I dont actually have any trouble running DesktopX - it isnt a cause and effect problem where if I use Joe Blogs widgets, my explorerer instantly craps out - it just seems to be a gradual deterioration into rebuild city unfortunately.

I understand 
And yes, if I dont start on with DesktopX at all - then my PC is fine but I cant for the life of me figure out what I am doing with DesktopX that would cause these problems. I clear out my cache, dont load more than one ID or change it if I do...
Pretty standard usage I would have thought

I don't know if this will help or not but it has helped others with different problems.
What drivers are you using for the GE force 6600? Go to the Invidia site and download the 77.77 drivers and install them. It is worth a try. Recent drivers have caused some problems.

Sir Bichur - my version of Desktop is 3.1 I dont notice any issues after running any themes but the OS instability starts to appear with explorer.exe hanging - this deteriorates as time goes by and the more I use it
Night Train - I have the latest drivers - I did have 77.77 at one stage but the issue was still present however I can give it another trial
Thanks for helping me guys - you all rock

Yes, I know...... I hate the thought of WB not running, but maybe there's some conflict with DX, and WB5 on your machine.
