I will try again: Explorer crashes when WB runs

December 5, 2005 1:50:08 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I have posted this several times will no decent response from SD. So, I will try again.

WB5 crashes Explorer on my system. Explorer just stops, then attempts to restart but never makes it fully. No trigger that I can see, it just goes boom.

Additionally, WB5 also leaves a big white box artifact on the screen (up and to the left of WB ) when I open WB configuration. But this is just an annoyance.

XP SP2
WB 5.00.001

I have had same thing happen to me. But was not related to WB5.


Try to uninstall IconPackager. It solved the problem for me.


Good Luck

Neil - I have tried both with WFX and without. It crashs either way. The effect I see is that, with WFX running, windows do not get skined unless I move them. With WFX off it seems to skin fine.

Thanks WeatherBound!

I uninstalled IconPackager and WB5 does now seem to work. (At least no Explorer crashes so far)

So, what's the issue between IP and WB?

Whoops!

I spoke too soon. Explorer has crashed several times on me now.
No WFX or IP.

KR


Sorry to hear that.


I'm still up and running. I have read in the forums that IP was the problem. I'm sure in time it will be resolved.


Good Luck
