I installed ProcessTamer, but when I (try to) start it I get a message box stating:

wow that is strange, i've never heard of that one before..
searching around newsgroups suggests this:
"I have seen this kind of behavior when some one has Extra Large or Large
Fonts enabled. "
--- End quote ---

do you happen to have your computer configured for super large fonts?

I've also read a suggestion that it could be a bug with "ComCtl32.dll" system dll -- maybe you could check the version of this file on your system? (find the file, right click on properties to see version).

ps. We might take this discussion off to email ([email protected]) until we figure something out..

Ok, it was indeed ComCtl32.dll.

Your app apparently only supports an old version of ComCtl32.dll.

My Windows XP SP2 (incl. Visual Studio 2005 SP1) has ComCtl32.dll v6.0

I also found an older version of ComCtl32.dll (v5.82).

After I copied the old version (v5.82)to my %system32% directory, ProcessTamer worked.
When I returned my ComCtl32.dll library to the current (v6.0) it stopped working.

Unfortunately I can't use the old version, because some of my own projects need v6.0+ of ComCtl32.dll.

mouser:
i've never heard of this problem.. i will investigate it more.  please do let me know if you find out anything new.

iycgtptyarvg:
Ok, I have a workaround.

I left the old ComCtl32.dll library in %system32%, and installed the Visual Studio Run-time redistributable package. This creates the new ComCtl32.dll (incl. manifests) in the %WINDIR%\WinSxS, where my apps can find them.

What I don't understand is why your app wouldn't work with a newer version of a Microsoft library. I thought all system libraries were backwards compatible(?)

Anyway, your app is awesome! I really notice a big difference (e.g., trying to do something else while compiling my projects or 7-zipping archives)
