By (laborious) trial and error I found I can stop Explorer crashing as follows:
1. Leave Tips activated in TLB, but close the program Actual Window Manager, or
2. Leave AWM running, but de-activate Tips in TLB.
It looks as if AWM and TLB conflict with other in a way that causes Explorer to crash occasionally when TLB displays a Tip.
To demonstrate the bug:
1. Have both TLB and AWM installed and running. (I used AWM version 4.2 and TLB version 4.1).
2. Make a pop-up toolbar in TLB with plenty of entries that produce tooltips.
3. Move the mouse cursor back and forth over the toolbar entries to make the Tips flash on and off.
4. Explorer then crashes at random intervals, but on average about once per four minutes.
Actual Window Manager can be downloaded for free trial at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/">http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/</a><!-- m -->. I bought it early this year and find it quite useful. However TLB is more useful so unfortunately AWM will have to go :cry: - unless of course Yuri or AWM can resolve the mutual incompatibility...
