I had a long time conflict with WorksBetter back when Standalone was still
supporting it, but they've never been able to find the problem. I don't
remember exactly what was happening, but basically, if WorksBetter was not
frozen, then it was messing up with something else. Sorry I can't be more
specific. Just my $0.02 so that you know that you're not alone having
problems with that piece of software...
