Problem signature

I have the same problem with WindowBlinds 6.1/6.2. In fact, in the past month Windows Explorer has crashed no less than 36 times with the same exception (0x00000005: INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT). The fault module being identified as WBLIND64.dll. The 'crash' is predominently at Windows start up, but not exclusively. System information:

My problem seems quite simmiliar to this (the Explorer window opens after the taskbar reappears). From the dates on the above posts, this issue hasn't seen any action for about a month. Any updates from the original posters or on the issue itself?

For those of you who had the issue, did upgrading to 6.3 help?

I have been having the same issue and it is still happening since the latest update. However it has been occuring less frequently since the update.

Upgrading to 6.3 helped a bit. I crash less frequently now, so it's a step in the right direction.

Just checked the error log & pretty much everytime I boot, I get that error still.

6.3 hasn't made a difference, although it did have issues installing & took a few reboots to get straight.

Other software has issues occasionally during the boot process too (CCC, Gigabyte Easy Tune tool), but they do not effect explorer & still appear to be functional even after I'm told they are not.

There is another file dispersed amongst all the WBLIND64 errors, wbhelp64.dll, but it crashes Explorer a lot less frequently.

I currently have 71 Windows Explorer problems recorded & most of them are to do with the WBLIND64.DLL.

Other than the explorer crashes Windows Blinds seems to be working as intended.

Happy to provide any further info, logs etc if they'll help?

I am also having this problem mulitple times a day. Pretty much same exact error messages as the ones posted above.

I too, am still experiencing this problem. There has been no peceivable improvement with v6.3. It mainly, but not exclusively, happens after Vista has loaded. One thing I have noticed is that after explorer crashes, AVG anti-virus scanner starts up although it isn't really running as such. This is quite weird and may be significant!

bump; also getting crashes in Windows Explorer:

Using KapsulOS as Windowblinds skin, from MyColors.

So far since the latest update I have not had any crashes...might still be too early to tell but I am really hoping that the problem has been fixed...

k it was too early to tell...still getting crashes pretty often....

These explorer errors & the Punkbuster problems have meant that I've not been using Windows Blinds for the past month or so.

The other night I got tired of Aeroglass & decided to try using WB again. I was not surprised to see that the Explorer problem hadn't gone away, but I was surprised to find that a few other issues that I'd never even considered being related to WB, returned suddenly.

I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, the second version, & had been having issues with the software for the LCD not remembering it's settings. Certain aspects of the LCD's software I had shut down or changed, but after a reboot they'd come straight back. For example I turned of the stop watch program & stopped all the apps scrolling, prefering to make changes when & if I needed them. To be honest I hadn't noticed that they'd gone away until I restarted WB & found things were suddenly ignoring any of the settings I made in the LCD's software again. I had though the uissues here were permission based & had set the LCD software to "Run as Admin" which seemed to fix things briefly, but the issues still returned.

I also hadn't specifically noticed that a lot of other apps that load during start up had stopped failing in a similar manner to windows Explorer, until I re-enabled WB & suddenly they are all back again. Things like the Catalyst Control Centre & Gigabyte (Mobo) tools failing during start up.

My other PC also has WB on it & pretty much the same apps, but is XP & I have no issues with it & WB at all.

WB version is still 6.3.

Has anyone had any success in sorting this out yet? It's driving me crazy! Is anyone using Vista 64 Home Premium + Windows Blinds & not experiencing these issues?

Simple answer, No! I've had over 100 explorer 'stop working' errors with Wblind64.dll and even occasionally Wbhelp.dll since August last year, I'm beginning to wonder what Microsoft does with all the reports it asks me to send them. It interferes with AVG, or maybe it's the explorer crash, causing it to 'launch' the system tray scanning icon, although it isn't actually running. After the explorer crash it will sometimes cause my complete system to slow down, which can only be corrected by logging off and on again. I do not have this problem with PCs running XP or Vista 32, so this is definitely a 64 bit related problem, maybe due to WB not being a fully compliant 64 bit program, it is mostly run as 32 bit.

Like yourself, I've given up hope of this problem being sorted out anytime soon, if ever and will be reluctant to purchase any future version of this software.

I too am having same problem in vista premium i get error message
