I am sorry that people are experiencing performance issues. I myself not seen any performance degradations with my PowerPro configuration, after testing with both with plain 4.4 and also the latest 4.4.04c. If you have noticed changes in performance, make sure you retest on older versions using current configuration. For example, if you recently added autorun or active bar, that could affect performance, especially if you are not using the latest ability to abort requests for icons or text after a set time. Also make sure you are using very latest beta with exe 4.5.04c. It is true that PowerPro could lock up if you used an active bar or autorun and one of your programs did not respond to PowerPro's requests to update the icon or text on the bar. I have seen this with scanning programs like Ad Aware running a full scan. However, in my tests, the latest versions make this better, especially if you optimize the wait setting for your system I also find around 100 ms best for me. I am also looking at a further improvement to optionally cache text and icons and only update with the Windows system indicates that the program text or icon changes. If you experience problems, try first executing exec debug which will trace the windows PowerPro sees as unresponsive. Do you ever reach 5 such windows? This is the current limit. If you get there, then there could be issues. > > There really seems to be something wrong with active buttons.

However, with XP, XP itself will create "ghost" windows for unresponsive windows which do nothing if corresponding active button is pressed. I have seen this. Or, have you changed default command for left clicking? Try holding down the ctrl and shift key while hovering over active button which will display the window handle at the end of the tool tip. Use Windsector or similar to get list of Window handles. Is PowerPro window handle correct? > Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
