I'm trying to reinstall Object Desktop to my freshly formatted Windows XP-based system. Have been a user of OD since I purchased the program back in 2001 and am installing from a 2004 snapshot. Updated SD Central to latest version and am in process of installing latest updates of OD components. This morning downloaded several newer versions of various components (still have to update WindowBlinds to version 5 (using 4) and Windows FX). Upon reboot my system freezes and I can't access the start bar (I can still move the mouse around, click on desktop icons and open My Computer...) It appears that my startup is somehow broken (if I uninstall Object Desktop my system is back to working condition...) It's pretty obvious that something is not working with this installation.
Is OD compatible with Nero? (I'm running version 6 with all of the latest patches) Are there any issues with InCD or other applications that are part of Nero? I'm also running Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster/SpywareGuard as my anti-spyware apps, AVG anti-virus for virus protection and Kerio Firewall (freeware version) as my firewall app. It doesn't appear that WindowBlinds is working (it doesn't appear on my Appearance tab when I rightclick on the desktop...)
