Was using V3.0. Tried upgrading to V3.2.2B last week (Thursday). Seemed to work fine, so I installed it on my laptop. Worked fine on my laptop until I rebooted...
After rebooting, I was able to log in, then the Windows taskbar is drawn, including the start button. Sometimes the truelaunchbar is drawn, other times not. The PC then sits there doing nothing more - no desktop icons are displayed and if I float the mouse over the truelaunchbar or start button, I just get an hour glass and nothing responds.
Explorer shows 0% activity, about 17MB memory used. If I start another explorer process, the new one goes briefly to 100% activity, then back to 0. No explorer window is displayed and I can't use my laptop.
Didn't realise this was truelaunchbar to start with, so I completely rebuilt my PC over the weekend. It is a Compaq Evo n800c with XP Pro SP2.
I reinstalled truelaunchbar and now I have the same problem again. HELP!
Is there any way to turn off or kill truelaunchbar without successfully logging into Windows? I can login under another profile that has nearly everything except truelaunchbar installed and the machine runs fine.
When Windows is in it's "hung" state and I try to log out it always either "program manager" or "explorer" as a hung task that needs to be killed.
Is there any tool (like msconfig) I can use to kill truelaunchbar or prevent it from loading on startup? I can run applications from the "run" menu in Windows Task Manager". Seems to be only Explorer that is dead.
[update]
I found the uninstall program for truelaunchbar from the Windows Task Manager and removed the application. Rebooted the PC and now I am back in Windows with everything working fine, but no truelaunchbar.
If any of the devs want to do a build which includes some diagnostic functions (e.g. popup messages or a log file to say what tlb is doing when Windows starts up) I'd be happy to try that on my laptop and send you the results.
