Which version of Windowblinds and which version of Windows (including servicepacks)?

At what point does explorer crash?

I had a similar problem. I just installed the beta, and it first said

It told me to reboot if I hadn't since install, so I did. It would load my wallpaper and play the log on sound, then explorer and my kerio firewall would both crash and no matter what I did they wouldn't run. wbload.exe was also crashing, which leads me to believe version 4 hadn't come off correctly since 5 isn't supposed to have a wbload process. I had to use system restore to be able to boot again, going into safe mode and removing windowblinds didn't work.

WB 5 4.90[b].002

XP Pro SP 2

Seems to just go pop.

WB looks like it starts up fine. Then just suddenly, explorer crashed and then restarts. Not sure how long after start up of WB it does this, it seems to vary.

How can I assist?
