I love Winstep and want to continue to use it but I cannot figure out why I am getting caught in this loop. Everything loads and then the desktop icons and start bar dissappear and 2 seconds later they reappear, if I have a window open it closes and dissappears.
I have disabled the Active Desktop warning and it still happens. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using XinXP Pro
Winstep NextStart V4.0
Window Blinds 5.0
Icon Packager

It looks like that explorer.exe is relaoding itself in a loop. It goes from 0% to 99% cpu as the desktop reloads.

See, you should not disable the WARNING. You should disable Active Desktop.

Active Desktop conflicts with just about any Windows customization software out there and can cause events like the one you are describing.

Ok, start by disabling NS task management (NextSTART Main Menu -> Settings -> Toggle NS task management).

Do you keep getting that crazy loop?
