I can do nothing at all. I can't even open the Task Manager to kill Workrave!

>Does it happen during a break or just randomly?

I don't know. As I told you, it usually happens when I have different
Office 2007 files open. Usually I get a "empty" Excel or Powerpoint or
Explorer, etc., window.
Actually, it may be that it happens in correspondence of a break,
because the timing is more or less that. But I cannot be 100% sure,
because when the freezing happens, the Workrave popup doesn't appear.

> Can you do anything during the freeze?

See above.

> Does your taskbar display freeze or do you see the time change?

The taskbar disapperars. The bottom part of the screen is empty: I see
only the blue colour of my desktop background. This is odd enough,
because I haven't selected the "Auto-hide" option of the Windows
taskbar, so theoretically the taskbar should NEVER disappear.

> Does Workrave freeze?

Yes, like everything else.

>

1.9.4

> Please let us know if you still experience the same problems after Workrave has been uninstalled. I tested Workrave on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and didn't notice anything like that.

I don't really need to uninstall it. Just not running it stopped all
the freezing problems. For now I'm back to Big Stretch Reminder, but
I'd really prefer to be able to use Workrave.

Thanks!
