When I open up a windows explorer window specifically,  if i wish to use the file, edit, view, tools, and help menus (favorites is ok), the window closes and the start menu refreshes itself.  This problem only occurs with explorer and no other windows. This also only occurs with per-pixel skins.  Also with the per-pixel skins, I use clone monitoring with nVidia, and the glow effect of any skinned window if it would appear on the other monitor at all, then centers itself on the main monitor.  These problems occured with the original version of WB and i upgraded to the beta to see if the problems were fixed.

Please disable nview.

The glow positioning will be nview thinking the glow is offscreen and helpfully repositioning it and the explorer crash appears to be nview as well.

Thank you that fixed everything. Is there any reason for the explorer crash? It just seems weird that it would happen with WB6 and not the previous versions.

After looking into the nView options, if I enabled windows to span across multiple desktops, then the glow and explorer are fixed. I hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.
