uhm huh....pre releases...this is my first one...the other password i deleted but you might be able to find that in your date somewhere i guess..hope we can solve the problem....

ok i got some pre release but for wb and ip not for wfx pity cause there i would have liked to get one...but honestly i am a bit affraid to use it cause before i would have installed all my icons into perfection and boem there was a freeze up and internet explorer had a problem and so on and all my work was for nothing....i now have it all fixed i want to be kinda 100% it works...i am just now super carefull cause i am loving the other two i am using ...but windowfx was also one of my fav but like i said now kinda scared of it really...my question is were you able to fix the problems of the poeple who wrote here above me or are they still not using windowfx....cause it aint cool fun to have everything freeze up and lets say messed up ...

I have the latest releases of both WB and FX and I also have the same problems as the others. The only difference is that I didn't know the source of the problem before reading this thread. Until SD fixes this issue I will have to unload FX before shutting down. But, this won't solve the problem of explorer crashing while the computer is still on and FX is enabled. As Peter Green would say, "Oh Well."

This is a real shame and a deal breaker for me. After almost a year of waiting for this to get fixed, it's just time to move to Vista and have the effects work correctly.

I was hoping SD will just try to fix it but it does not look like they care to even look at it.

I think they are looking at it - not always easy to reproduce some of the less common problems encountered out "in the wild." Having another issue here with Windows Installer hanging on uninstalls via Add/Remove Programs with WFX loaded, which must not be common either. Hard to fix without being able to reproduce & debug it.

Hey everyone i have found a solution and it works! you have to disable task switching feature, to make the problem go away, i did it and my computer booted off fine without any explorer. exe errors!
