Window Fx crashes explorer

from Stardock Forums
I have WindowFx 3.0 running with Windows Blinds 6.0 and whenever WindowFX runs, it crashes explorer. Stopping WindowFX and restarting explorer solves my issue. Anyone please help on this.

i also have this problem. explorer will just continually stop and restart. even if i unload windowFX and restart it or set it back to default settings it will continue to happen. i will even restart the computer and explorer will start crashing right away without me even touching anything. i have to manually kill explorer and sometimes if i manually kill it and restart it from the command line it will fix it self and sometimes it will only halfway work. like it will let you use any open tabs on the task bar but wont let you open any explorer windows. its really pissing me off.

I assume you are running XP, because WinFX don't work on Vista. Can you tell us anything else about your systems? Maybe a logfile?

This sounds more like a problem with your machine, not WindowFX.

WindowFX won't even install on Vista, will it? I believe , in Impulse, when I tried to install it, I got an error saying it was incompatible with my OS.
