Windowblinds crashing when using PhraseExpress

from Stardock Forums
Hello,

I already use Windowblinds for a couple of years now. Never had any issues with it yet. Recently I installed a program called PhraseExpress ( http://www.phraseexpress.com/ )
If I open the controlpanel in PhraseExpress, my system crashes. The cause is Windowblinds. The only way I can open the controlpanel in PhraseExpress is by unloading Windowblinds. I already contacted the developer of PhraseExpress and he is aware of the issue and recommended to contact you if there's a workaround or if you know what exactly is causing this.

Windowblinds version 5.01 (build 62 x86)

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend using a "Per Application" setting in WB Configuration panel and excluding this program. Once applied WB will completely ignore this program. This should be a temporary fix until Support can review the issue.

...good thing they kept the extra "e" in their url

Could've been a costly mistake

...carry on

Thanks kith,

Ofcourse.. never thought of that. Excluded it from skinning and works like a charm now.

Hi miekiemoes,

I have been using similar QuickPhrase 3.01 freeware (www.download.com)
and it works OK with Windowblinds 5.

Quickphrase is not fully free (limited to 20 phrases) and lacks the autotext feature of PhraseExpress.
