At work my Laptop has two video monitors, one using a USB Dispaly Link EVGA+ EV-16 adapter. Actual Windows Manager 5.3 Beta 1 (I haven't tested 2 yet there) works great and this is the best product I have found for dual monitors. But when I'm at home with just a single video monitor, driven by my laptop's internal NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, if Actual Windows Manager is running then trying to open any application (Firefox, Outlook, Pidgin, etc.) crashes these application as they open the windows. Even Actual Window Manager's own Configuration application crashes. Closing Actual Window Manager resolves this issue. Is there a problem running Actual Window Manager on a single monitor system?

Dear Rod,
Couldn't you specify your application?
1. What is the exact version (including service pack info) and edition (32/64 bit) of your system?
2. When are your programs crash? (After run of AWM, after switching of profiles or an other time).
3. Couldn't you to describe this situation in detail?

1) The system is an HP TX1000 (1417) running Windows XP, SP 2. The native video card is a NVidia GeForce Go 6150, set to 1280x1024, 16 bit depth. The 2nd display video card is a Display Link EVGA UV Plus+ set to 1280x960, 16 bit depth. Again at the office with both video drivers enabled everything works pretty well.
2) At home running just the internal NVidia card and the Display Link EVGA isn't connected, when a program is launched, it will briefly display and then close. It doesn't show on the process list. For example, I the BlackBerry Desktop manager that is the first program loaded. It will be displayed but within seconds after the Actual Windows Manager is loaded it will go away. I have the Task Manager minimized on my System Tray and if it restore it (to show) it will briefly appear and then close and the Task Man icon on the System Tray also disappears. It is only by quiting Actual Windows Manager that I can start running programs.
