I posed the SAME issue in other threads with NO reasonable response from anyone from Stardock that appears interested in this issue. Started occuring with me beginning two iterations before the formal v5 release. Am afraid to try the final at this point because I do NOT want another 3-4 hour reload XP session. Maybe somebody from Stardock will take an interest in this issue before version 6 arrives... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Mad.g

Ditto on this end. I posted this issue regarding WB5 since I presumed it was the culprit. After a few more XP installs, I narrowed it down to IP Beta as well. It'd be ---REAL--- handy for Stardock to post a few hints regarding how to nuke a faulty installation or issue of this nature that results in a hang to the OS in such a fundamental way. Could never get past this without a wipe & re-install.
Neil, Fresh XP w/sp2 install machine works like a champ. WB install, machine hangs. WB removal, machine hangs. In my book that means WB -IS- the problem. Where would I find SDMCP?
Completely removed WB & Stardock. Still hangs... Guess it's time to wipe it clean & stay away from WB for now...
Good ideas, but my problem is getting wbconfig to run in this "hang state". Only app I can get to run is tsk mgr->run cmd. When I re-run explorer, I get to the same state (freeze) very fast...
Howdy, Having trouble with the WB5 (latest fm Stardock) and windows explorer hanging. After updating the ATI 9600 driver to 5.11 as well as latest WB, explorer & taskbar hang after startup. Can't seem to get past this hang. Re-Installed Window XP from scratch, d/l'd all sp2 & all updates, then re-installed WB, then hang! No idea where to go from here? Anybody have any ideas? Thx...
Best I can tell it seems to be related to the latest ATI Radeon Driver? BTW, not just the taskbar, but explorer.exe is the hang. I can run taskmgr, kill off explorer, re-run to a point, then it hangs again... Ideas?
Guys, Been having trouble with the latest release of WB5 RC. Was hangining my taskbar immed after logon. Wiped the system, complete re-install of XP Pro SP2, then Startdock, then WB. HANGS AGAIN! Can't do anything but reboot with Ctl-Alt-Del, then restart through taskmgr. Shuttle SB65G2, ATI Radeon 9600 w Latest 5.11 drivers. ANY ideas would be approeciated! Thx...
