Strange.......you don't show up as a customer.
The cracks out there are hazardous to your computer. You end up with a lot of spyware and possibly some new virus that you can never get rid of.....

User level unknown just means the account is not a WC one (a sd forum one most likely).

Latyrx is a paying customer, so could we please not assume things based on user level.

Latyrx: WB5 is XP compatible and the full version should work just as well as the trial version on your PC.  What other applications do you have loading at startup on your PC?  Do you have UltraMon for example?

Devdlr appears to be a creative labs file.  If you disable this from starting (use msconfig), does this problem continue?

I have devdlr running with WB5 but YMMV. {And devdlr has given me lots of fits over the years, won't end, won't start, etc.}
