Same here. Most of anything that happens with me I have found to be something else running rather than being WE. And eew, yes that does drive me crazy when people don't label their buttons, especially if it's one of those stupid things where the person cannot modify the code to lable them or else it doesn't work.

What i sometimes have a bit of trouble with is when you're on a website and someone has imbeded a youtube video on there, the buttons to start and stop the video aren't always labeled. I guess this is why they call them personal computers. everyone's experiences are different. I'm truely sorry so many of you guys aren't having a more positive experience with wineyes. apart from that little trouble i had with thunderbird a couple days ago 7.5.2.0 has been running great here.
