WB5 leaves crashed processes on restart

explorer.exe, WB5TrayContainer, Connections Tray

Hi,

I'm experiencing an annoying problem related to WB5, in which almost every time I restart Windows I have to manually kill a number of crashed processes ("xxx is not responding, click to end it manually..."). Usually (but not always) the sequence is:

explorer.exe
explorer.exe
WB5TrayContainer
Connections Tray
MCI Command Handling Window

This happens on both my laptop and my desktop computers. I am running WB5 with the Aura theme and per-pixel borders disabled, IconX, and Window FX. I'm pasting my system information below. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks

Never mind, looks like an incompatability with the latest WindowFX beta. Turning that off solved a number of problems for me actually.

I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this. I came to the same conclusion about WindowFX and bit the bullet and unloaded it. Pity, I really like the effects.
