A curious crash: MS Document Explorer

from Stardock Forums
I've noticed that MS Document Explorer is crashed by WindowBlinds. Is there any reason for this?

Seems to work OK as long as I add it to the exclusion list (do not skin). It doesn't seem to crash the Visual Studio Express' IDE however.

i dont know if this is correct, but as your using the shareware version maybe the document viewer is not supported, try buying the full version and seeing if it still happens, i have no such problem with mine

I thought that might be part of it, but one of the reasons I didn't buy it about...maybe 6-8months ago was because it was crashing doc explorer. I'm not sure if the exclusion by app was recently added or not but as long as I can run doc explorer some way or another I'm probably going to purchase it on my next pay.

WB has had application exclusion features for about 8 years I think but 5.5 may have made them easier to see.

Well, good to know

Anyway...any idea why it's crashing? I've got some smart exception stuff if you think it might help.
