OK, I have heard all the "Favorites is a toolbar and we can't skin it" things from Neil and everyone, but it's just a major drawback of WB5. With skins like Dreamland that have full transparency it makes IE's Favorites menu look like crap! I'm sure if you really put your heads together you can find a way to skin that menu as well. It's just nasty to have a production build of one of your products that lacks features that a previous version of WB had. This goes right in

Run WB4.6... no more problems. WB5 seems to be the BomDiggiddi.

OK, great test... one last thing to test. Start playing a video or something and see if the speed gets bumped up to the full value or higher then your 798MHz. Just want to make sure it can go higher then that under load... Thanks. Also, others can follow the same test... it could just be something in the AMD Turion camp... who knows.

Everyone that has a laptop needs to check into this problem. I contacted SD about this and they have yet to duplicate the problem which is getting kind of old. Anyway, everyone that's got WB5 on their laptops needs to set their Power Management to Laptop (to allow the PM to throttle their CPU speed) and then look at the CPU speed (Right click on My Computer and Properties) with WB5 unloaded and then with it loaded. For some wacky reason on my AMD Turion ML-37 proc in my Ferrari

Just like the title states. With the new 009 version the time from the welcome screen to the actual desktop has increased by about 20-30 seconds.

Problem with having Task Manager on the graphing tab and clicking and dragging the window arround. The graphs stop updating until you stop dragging it arround and release the mouse. After further testing I found out that you can just click the titlebar and also trigger then stopping. This is happening with the Cyclopse skin... haven't tried another skin to see if that's it or not. I have tested it with WB unloaded and XP updates the graphs all day long while you drag it a

Here's another bug in WB5 006b version. When you have a skin that has a wallpaper associated with it, on every restart of the PC it reapplies the wallpaper, but doesn't change that setting in display properties. In other words... let's say you have background set to abc.jpg in display properties, but the skin has a wallpaper it applies when you apply the skin which will be called yourloginname.jpg. Well, when you restart your wallpaper is no longer abc.jpg (visually), b

The Favorites Menu issue is still there in 006b. It doesn't skin and it has submenu arrows on items that aren't folders or for that matter have subitems. There was another post I made on here that had screen shots of this problem.

I had to exclude Real Player, but you've fixed that... thanks. What's really killing me now is the CPU speed stepping problem. I've currently unloaded WB5 because it's causing these problems... hopefully you'll be able to implement a fix shortly. I know it sounds like I'm just complaining, but I am truly just finding WB5 a step back from 4.6 rather then an upgrade. Maybe 5.1 will be better. Somehow I knew I should have just waited. On a side note, eve

What is going on with all these stability issues and 3rd party apps? It's almost like WB5 wasn't designed to play nice with anything. The Per Application exclusions are total BS if you ask me. That's not a fix... it's a bandaid on major issues with the skinning engine that WB5 is apperently using. If people wanted to exclude 90% of the programs they use just so that they would work with WB5 on their system I don't think a lot of us would have bought the program.

Nope... Acer Ferrari hardware as follows. AMD Turion64 2.0GHz ATI x700 Video w/128MB 1GB DDR333 100GB HD I can't vouch for desktop support of CPU speed dropsdowns, but I'll bet you'll have better luck with testing on a laptop. The Intel ones also step down like this... it's mostly a laptop function to save battery power. I know any of the ones with Centrino b

Tried both Retro and Fresco and it pegs the CPU at 2.0GHz. I tried all the skins that come with WB5 and they all do it. It seems that if WB5 is "loaded" it definatly pegs the CPU speed. Windows Classic and Windows XP Style don't do it, but I imagine that WB5 gets unloaded when those skins are applied. I imagine this happens because I've set my "Themes" service to Manual/Stopped and if I try to apply the Windows XP Style in WB5 it just closes the WB5 window, but doesn't

Here's the screen shots for both of the problem listed above that you asked about. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTE0NjgwNTZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg Pic above you can see that Favorites is not skinned and that Tools as well as the other menus are. Also, this is not skin dependant. ALL skins do this. The one used i

Hey guys, thought I'd list a few bugs in WB5 (latest .001 version) that apperently you guys haven't found yet. 1) IE "Favorites" menu does not skin and also has ">" arrows for actual links instead of folders w/subfolders. 2) Real Player. When you launch it and it starts there is no txt on any of the menu dropdowns. You actually have to go to File and the pick a choice that has a submenu and then they all show up for all menu options. 3) Using
