Winrar not running with WindowBlinds

from Stardock Forums
When wbload.exe is running and I try to run winrar, winrar will not execute (I can see the process running in the process list). If i unload wbload.exe then start winwar it executes without a problem. Anyone else run ito this issue?


Thanks

No. I've been usinf WinRar for years, I've never had a problem with WBlinds. What version of WinRar and is the Wblinds free or Full version?

No problems here either. If it happens, does it happen with all skins or just with one particular one?

Have you tried to inclued WinRar in you Per application list? If you add winrar.exe to the per application list (Configure WindowBlinds > Per application > add per application setting) and tell WB not to skin it at all, does that make any difference?

My Windowblinds use to run fine with winrar and one day winrar just would not open the window (it just sits there not using any processor %). I have tried adding it to the Per Application with no success. I have tried to use different WB skins and still no luck but as soon as I unload WB winrar runs. I'm using the fully paid for version. I even tried the WB 5 beta and still it won't open the window. I running Win xp sp2 w/all patches 1 gig memory, althon64 processor. Running Norton anti-virus and run spybot & adware regularly. This is really weird.

Have you rebooted your computer after adding WinRar to the Per Applications? Often it will require a reboot to 'stick'.

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall WinRar?

not sure how old this news is, but the newest version of winrar is 3.5, and allows for custmizable toolbars. the ones you can download from the winrar site are pretty good. i'm running winrar 3.5 (evaluation, i should prob buy it when the free trial period runs out though) and the latest windowblinds 5 beta, and it all runs fine
