The fact that WB worked before and does not anymore after your re- 
installation seems to indicate something is "wrong" with your  
installation, rather than WB. Though, I have trouble getting an idea  
*what* could be wrong. It should definitely not be necessary to  
disable DEP for WB to make it work. We would much appreciate if you  
could find a way to reproduce this behavior and file a bug report. We  
could then take steps to remedy this problem.

Since we continously are improving WB, removing nasty bugs like  
uninitialized variables and memory leaks, the best advice I can give  
you is to keep your WB installation updated and profit so from its  
improvements. We are sorry for those troubles you have with it.

Mike
