Still having problems with DX2.2

Monday, August 23, 2004 by carolelee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I had problems with the previous version and I'm still having the same issues. Microsoft error message report keeps popping up "DX must close...yada, yada > I have cleaned my registry and made sure there are no left overs, I have rebooted, ect. What more can I do? I took a screen shot of the error message.......can anyone help me figure this problem out.......pretty please?

You've completely uninstalled DX, removed all files, registry entries, etc., then reinstalled it...and it still crashes?

Have you noticed any problems with other Stardock software?

So what exactly happens, can you even load DX? Are you using certain objects when it crashes or it just crashes at random?

The default Alien bones and other defaults work but as soon as I load.....say Tiggz widget or clock.....the crash error message comes up.

So it only crashes with certain objects? That's very strange. I'm not really sure what could cause that, there are lots and lots of possibilities. The only thing I can really think of is maybe your Script libraries are faulty, DX relies on VBScript and JScript etc., so maybe reinstalling them would fix it...other than that, I'm not really sure. Here's a link for the scripting libraries. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en

Open the download, it will ask you if you want to install Windows Script, click yes. It should automatically install, it will probably ask you to reboot afterwards, just a long shot, but worth a try...

glad to hear you got it sorted Carole, and it's handy to know that vbscript can go haywire sometimes and is reinstallable
