Up until a couple of days ago, I was using TLB v3.0..
The problem never seemed to occur when I first had it installed, but it got worse over time. Basically, when I pop up one of the menus from TLB and launch an application, my taskbar and systray freeze completely. It often takes a good 30-45 seconds for the application to start running, which is when the taskbar + systray free up again.
I cant understand what's causing it. I tried updating tlb to 3.1, which seemed to have no great effect.
I'm running a p4 3ghz on Win XP, so processing power isn't the problem.
NB. That the desktop itself doesnt freeze during this period, all of the icons work fine. The taskbar bubbles and the systray icons freeze completely until the program starts loading, where if I've been clicking on a few of the bubbles, it will race through the bubbles (as if it's catching up from what I've been clicking on) when the program finally starts.
