wb5 beta (4.90g) conflicts with lexmark printer windows - titlebar skinning crashes program

help, pretty please?

so this week i just got a new printer, my first very own printer by the way - but no one should care about that!

well i'm writing here because it seems that lexmark insists on skinning each of its windows (regular option windows, an "ink meter/printing progress" window, and finally any window that pops up to tell me that my paper is jammed or that i'm out of paper).
for the regular option window (which is decently big, so i'm not sure if that's it) i have no issue, no error messages.
for the ink meter window, i can chose for it not to pop up, so that's okay. it's slightly smaller, and it - before i checked the "no pop up" option - gave me an error message every time. "LXBZJSWX.exe ..." bla bla bla. this happens everytime with it originally showing its titlebar like the unskinned old-win one (not luna styled but 98 style) and suddenly when the window blind titlebar took over it would give the error message. i tried everything, adding it to the per application settings, etc. i searched the pc for every instance of the exe file, tried the two different ones i saw, but each time - post addition to the per-application section -, still same error. whichever way, i gave up knowing my ink level, because i love wb5 that much!

the thing is, at this point, all the other windows are the problems. i can't avoid occasionally getting a paper jam or running out of paper for a big printing job, and each time, error. worst, last time, it crashed my word. and just remained there, application terminated and all, but remaining on the screen.

right now, i don't have a choice but printing a lot, so i have temporarely unloaded wb until a possible fix will be available...

:hopeful:

random facts: xp sp2, RADEON 9200 SERIES, amd athlon xp 1800+, 1.53 ghz, 512 mb ram, lexmark 515 (latest driver installed), also the titlebar corruption is checked in troubleshooting due to general box-like style around text on the titlebar

Perhaps trying uninstalling and then reinstalling WindowBlinds 5 Beta? If still the same result then uninstall WindowBlinds 5 Beta and install WindowBlinds 4 and see if the same thing happens... Perhaps it's just a WB5 *bug* it is still fairly a new beta..

thank you chris. so far i've uninstalled it completely. am planning to re-download it all tonight (cheaper connexion and faster as well!

)
by the way, i wanted to appologize for creating this thread, because even though i had previously searched for either "lexmark" or "print wb5 conflict" on the forums, i hadn't found any posts before. yet when i finally came back and saw your answer, i noticed that this exact same subject had previously been mentioned. :/ sorry, as i don't like multiple threads on the same subject, but rather wanted to contribute to the beta testing by mentioning something someone else may not have noticed yet! the other answers didn't help me by the way, so i'll re-try downloading it and re-installing it from scratch or will try to revert to the last non-beta version
