Visual Assist X (any version/revision) running with Visual Studio .NET 2003 crashes when Powerword 2005 is running.

Powerword 2005 is a Chinese-English dictionary from Kingsoft (www.kingsoft.com) that automatically translates text on screen by showing tooltip's with translation. Powerword 2005 injects external dll into application and uses SetWindowsHookEx (for CBT, Messages and Mouse events) to hook on all Text output routines: (Ext)TextOut(A/W), , DrawText(Ex)(A|W), ScriptTextOut - from USP10.dll.

Probably its a hooking conflict between VAX and PowerWord.

Visual Studio IDE will crash in both conditions:
- Starting VS after PowerWord started.
- Starting VS and then starting PowerWord.

Powerword did not conflict with any other application before (even with my own code that also hooks on TextOut routines).

Powerword 2005 can be found at: http://www.kingsoft.com/product/131/ciba2005.shtml
