WBVista.exe crashes at startup

from Stardock Forums

This problem started about a week ago on an installation that has been running since July 2008. Vista Home Premium w/ SP2 installed. Based upon Support recommendation I updated/reinstalled Window Blinds via Impulse. Program resumed crashing on second reboot.

Faulting application WBVista.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x46dfd798, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e0379e, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00014492, process id 0x690, application start time 0x01c9eaa19ae29788.

Did you update or did you do a full reinstall?

 An update only replaces the files you need,a reinstall gives you new files. If you updated only,I recommend an uninstall,run CCleaner,reboot then reinstall through Impulse.Disable any AV/Spyware apps you have running during the install. Good Luck.
