I've been having the same problems, same time frame. AOL seems to be getting ready to crap out on me again. The only way I can get on AOL is to load AOL Dialer first. Don't think its related to the WC problems, just trying to convince myself it's time to get rid of the bloated piece of garbage.

This is the third or fourth thread concerning the just in list posted lately. Every thread gets a few more comments on screenshots. Keep at it Night Train, hopefully it won't take a hundred threads before enough people get onboard. There seems to be enough paths to screenshots for those who are interested not to clutter up the just in list with them.
Windowblinds skins the borders on AOL but nothing else. When you open a new window in AOL drag it to where you want it, the click window at the top of AOL and then remember window size and position and it should stay where you want it.
Been fighting the crud for a week now. I've blown enough stuff out of my head to build my own Mini-me booger boy. Does this count?
I'm more curious than concerned about something that really doesn't affect the performance of my machine. After Scorpio said he couldn't replicate the problem and I know we use similar cards I thought there might be some other limitation to my system. No worries mate, as they say in OZ.
Found another program doing the same thing. Click on the title bar of SpeedFan readings tab and it freezes also.
Unloaded WB and CPU went to 68% but it still updated on both programs when dragging.

I see the same thing when dragging task manager. I also have Whats Running installed (task manager on steroids) and when you have the processes tab open and drag the window it also stops updating.
I'm thinking this is more about Dumpa thinking that there is a working warez and why should he pay when he can get it for free. Maybe Stardock should think about no downloads without registration, whether trial or paid for. Since there are some that think think they can get around the current restrictions and they probably can, something must be done to keep this site from being overrun by freeloaders. Some accomodation must be made for subscribers onl
Creepy Crawlers-pre 60's flashback
My favorite memory is over 40 years ago. It was my 8 year old little sister walking into my closed door at five in the morning and all dark in the house because she was so excited it was Christmas morning. My favorite gift memory was when I was 8 and got my first BB gun. My version of " A Christmas Story". Love that movie, too bad we can't stay 8 forever.

I've had AOL become non-functional three times after auto updates. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice before I figured out I could use the refresh feature in system information to get it work again. Took me a while to figure out what the problem was, being a naive noob to computors, but now auto update is disabled. There have been other odd glitches but a restart took care of them.
Even if Stardock did program something to make warez unworkable I don't see a problem. As much as I would like to see pirates computors spit fire, the fact that all they have to do is uninstall the program is a good thing. If anything permanent happened it would fall under some booby trap law and then Stardock would be open to lawsuits, and everyone here is aware of Sony's possible problems with anti-pirate software. The crackers and warez users will h
Ever since WB5 went public there have been compaints about WB5 failures from people who never post here. The strange thing is there have been some that never did follow-ups when asked for information on what version they were using or what wasn't working right. Even when some that did give information that proved they were using warez they tried to deny it. The failures of pirate ware seem to have been going on since day one. Different cracks, differen
Just love the cracked versions blowing up, hehehe.. I think it's great. Nothing like a little totally unexpected justice. Vizzue, you should consider disabling the auto update from windows. I've had four or five occasions when things were not right the day after updates. Wasted a lot of time fixing things. Did a manual install of Dec. updates and no problems. I don't let
Unbelievable. I'm starting to think that half of the so-called bug reports since WB5 went public are from pirates. As they used to say when I was younger, tough titties. If you don't know the difference between shareware and stealing then it's your problem and you should have to deal with it yourself.
On the security center hit "change the way Security Center alerts me" under resources then unclick auto updates and the little yellow bugger will go away. No more auto updates for me. I've had too many strange things happen the day after updates. Nonfunctional ISP, programs hanging, half done downloads from MS, etc. I check the update site often enough and when I update manually I never have problems.
Since originally posting this I've switched to Firefox 1.5 and Opera Beta 9. I'm on dial-up so I notice load times, especially on WinCustomize. I tend to spend more time here than anywhere else. I haven't gone all retentive and timed anything but Firefox does seem to load faster, usually. There are times when it seems to take forever or I get some sort of error, page not found, no comments to display at this time, etc. When this is happening on Firefox
