Switcher Bar IMHO just doesn't work with WM5; even if you get it going, it doesn't recognise which apps are open.

I would suggest using vBar or MagicButton instead of switcher bar. I had too many problems with switch bar... just not worth it.

How do you remove the other non working switcher or is it embedded to the OS?

Why is there so much MS crap that doesnt work ?
Here is the link for future readers of this thread.

vBar is an Excellent program. the only reason i stopped using it is because of the new task manager that iLauncher came with.

It's non-MS and it's embedded by Dell. Yay for product testing.

I use Magic Button as a substitute. It works great IMHO.

vbar had a nice memory and battery gague up in the top. the battery gague was the most helpful item.

could someone explain what "WA2" is? I wasnt born with this knowledge. I would google it but there are plenty of WA2 parts for many other things.

Both vBar and MagicButton are free. I have used one or the other at various times, preferring MagicButton up until the newest version of iLauncher being released.

WA2/WAD can be thought of as a front-end to the Today Screen front-end. It is quite elegant and powerful, with a learning curve to match. It also provides cascading menus and a "real close". I tried it several times, but it is just not my thing, I guess.
