Desktop X2.1 Problems

Thursday, August 5, 2004 by spike132000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I download Themes for Desktop X2.1
and when i go to upload the widget of theme an error message that looks like this appears...

Desktop X has generated problems and will be closed by windows. You will have to restart the program. An error log is being created.

I can only create and that. I cannot even upload files built into the program. help!!!

I think I've seen this with past versions.. Here's what I did to fix it:

1) uninstall DX
2) make sure ALL traces of the program directory are gone
3) re-install DX

You should be good to go after this.. Check back if not.

Kevin, is it a good idea to restart the computer first?

A lot of the objects are using scripting that depend on the very newest (pre-released) versions of DX.  If you have purchased OD or DX you will be able to install these versions.  In Stardock Central on the lower left of the Object Desktop software tab make sure to checkmark *show pre-released* versions.  The newest one I have is 2.19m[b].003.

you might also try posting some details about the objects you are having problems with.. Is it ANY object, or are there specific ones that are causing problems? You might try installing a really basic object like a simple calendar to see if that will work and then move on to more advanced objects so we can tell if it's a version issue.. Good Luck!

It doesn't matter which object I put on, old or new.......that stupid Microsoft error report comes up......."DX has encountered a problem and must close, do you wish to send an error report". I have tried going through Stardock Central........it still won't work

it might be a compatability problme between desktopx and and some other software you are using... try closing things that you dont need one by one... then try loading desktopx again.

I went as far as uninstalling Stardock Central, to see if that's causing some kind of compatabilty problem......when I tried to load an object it comes up saying something about a buggy program and then the error report comes up again.....now what?

uninstall, and then try reinstalling the latest release version (not beta), into a different directory, (to make sure old files left over from uninstall dont conflict).

This is exactly what it says"DesktopX does not appear to have exited correctly. This could be the fault of a corrupt theme or a buggy plugin. Would you like to start with a empty theme or attempt to load the cuurent theme again(yes or no)?" I push yes, DX comes up, I load the object and then the error report comes up and then it closes.....arrrr
