WindowShade X Troubleshooting ReportCrashing QuickBooks - Version: 4.2b1, 3/18/2008 05:04PM PST

I installed WindowShade X and QuickBooks Pro 2007 wouldn't open. I removed WindowShade and QuickBooks worked fine.

Anyone else run into this problem and is there a work around or solution?

WindowShade X CommentaryFunky Behavior in 10.4.11 - Version: 4.2b1, 3/16/2008 11:51PM PST

Just can't get it to work in Tiger. Minimize-in-Place is set to load on the right side, from the top, but it loads on the left side, and, when I click on it, it disappears! If I go to the dock and open from there, nothing happens. Of course, it could be me...has been a lot of times before, but WS worked perfectly before updating to this beta. New beta APE installed, and restarted after every installation of the new betas, along with checking permissions each time.

Other Unsanity betas seem to work OK, except that Fruitmenu beta was installed in an activated state, and I had deactivated it before installation of the beta because I use FinderPop instead. I could not deactivate FM upon restart. Solution: Temporarily deactivated FP, then deactivated FM, reactivated FP, restarted, and all was well.

Guess I need to bite the bullet and install Leopard. I have been waiting for the Unsanity updates and the betas seem to work well in 10.5.2...

As a beta tester, I have been using this beta for almost a month now with no ill effects. Everything functions as expected and I have experienced no crashes or adverse behavior.

If you've missed Windowshade, as I have in Leopard, your wait is over!

Windowshade rocks!
