I just upgraded to Panda Platinum 2006 today. Latest ver. of WB was already installed. Same problems everyone else is having now. I wasn't able to get it to work until I uninstalled v.5 and restored v.4.68.xx, and of course everything worked fine then. I am here right now because I've installed/uninstalled at least five times and decided to look here for some help. Found the logoff/login suggestion here and that worked for me as well. Pain in the butt, but it worked.
Only reason I'm posting here now is because I've read through this thread, the thread y'all linked to above, and a whole bunch of similar threads in the WC Forums, and still no definitive answer to this specific problem can be found. Considering that this thread was opened on 12/28/05, almost two weeks ago, it appears this "Help Forum" or "Support," whatever, doesn't work any better than WB 5 does if you use Panda. This is really frustrating and a lot to go through for nothing more than eye-candy. Great eye-candy, yes, but that's all WB really does.
My subscription to OD (active for aprox. 3 years without interruption) comes due in March. If I'm still having to longoff/login to get it to work, I will not be renewing this year or anytime in the future. I will put this thread on my Watch List and see if Stardock comes up with a solution before March. That's a whole lot longer than it should take though.
