Lately deskscapes 3 suddenly froze and i had to restart explorer to get it running again. Never thought about DP but now it froze exactly after upgrading to latest beta.

DP continues to function merrily, allso explorer. Only to get Deskscapes working again i need to restart the explorer. By reduction and the coincidence of Deskscapes hanging when DP gets upgraded (but also after waking up from sleep) i wondered if it was something in DP. Is there something changed to could be related? I only recently fresh reinstalled Deskscapes after trying the dismal Deskscapes 8.

Advice: don't buy Deskscapes 8 It stinks.

I'll have a go. But if nothing has changed in your code that could link to this it must something else that causes the hangups because it's been working fine together for always.

Edit:

Deskscapes runs as a service. So no compat rule to be made. I'll just restart explorer when needed till i find out what goes on. Most likely then not DP related.
