WindowBlinds messing with my browser

April 10, 2006 10:21:37 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

When I run windowBlinds it somehow messes with my Yahoo DSL browser.  If I right click anywhere on the screen, click on the sign in tab, or click on my bookmarks it just closes the window.  I first got the free version and later I purchased Object desktop hoping that paying for it might fix the problem but it hasn't.  If I unload windowBlinds it works fine... I love the program but not being able to even sign out of the browser means that no one else that uses the computer can check their email.  Any ideas?

WB configuration > per applications > add yahoo browser exe to be excluded from skinning OR try the various exclusion options to see if one works with it.

You might try excluding the browser .exe from skinning & see if that helps (not the "ideal" solution since we all want everything skinned, but worth a try). You might need to reboot after doing so, might not.

Thank you very much....that did the trick.  I wasn't exactly sure where to find the browser exe. but I gave it a shot and it worked.  This program is awesome and I was really hoping that I could make it work.  Thanks again

I had the same 'click a link crash the browser' problem and fixed it by excluding the browser from skinning. Which worked, but... when downloading a file, it crashes trying to display the file save dialog. The 'usual suspects' locations on the left don't appear, then it crashes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

 Ok, I have the same problem with my Yahoo Browser. Where did you find the browser exe and how did you exclude it? Please help. I just purchase the Object Desktop and would like to keep it. Thanks(

We will be speaking to Yahoo about preventing their skinning engine from fiddling with WB.
