Agglo: Not sure why this has happened. You probably need to delete the stored value from the registry.
Unload DesktopX then use Regedit.
I can't remember exactly where in the registry it is (and I'm at work so can't check). It's something like HKCU/Software/DesktopWidgets/Desktop/Newsfeed.
Just search for "DesktopWidgets" or maybe "Desktop Widgets" and delete the newsfeed line in the desktop section.
After that it should work OK when you restart DX. I'll have a look at the problem with these feeds when I get home.

Agglo, these feeds should work now. They are not well formatted which is what causes the problems. The new version is more tollerant of this.

How do I install it? It doesn't come with a DesktopX suite file, just some .PNG's and others...
It looks like a masterpiece, so I would be thankful if you could help me!

SHould be a dxtheme file. Maybe XP SP2 renamed it. Change the extension to .dxtheme and it should be fine!

Jumpinfrog - there are VB scripts in DesktopX themes and some AV programs can be overly sensitive about this. I assume you there is no virus or spyware in it.

Yes, I also can't figure out how to make the news feed work. Where do I go to put in the news feed url?

Sorry - there is a problem in that the BBC have just changed their newsfeed format so the script isn't working for the BBC. I'll try to update it ASAP. The newsfeed URL should be entered by clicking the "?" to the right of the title.
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Great theme, but I am having some problems with it:
The script for your calendar doesn't run on my japanese PCs for some reason. Any calendar built using that script has numerous errors that with my limited experience I can't track down. For example, the Silica calendar runs fine.
The Quick links dialog doesn't show the links. I watched as it loaded this time and the links are there, but they disappear when the screen settles in. Is this a resolution issue? How can I find them and make them show?
Finally, the news dialog shows no news available.
Any help any one can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Charms.
I'm really not sure what I can do about the calendar. I suspect that my script only has limited tollerance of different languages and I know there are many differences in Japanese that could cause issues. I don't however know how to fix this. If you want - email me directly with the error and I'll see what I can do, but I can't make promises.
The quick links I'm not sure about. What this does is delete the default objects and read new ones from a text file so it's not a resolution issue, it's just doing what it should do ... apart from drawing new ones. Can you create quick links?
The news I know is an issue as the BBC have changed it's format. I will get this fixed as soon as I can, but in the meantime try another feed by clicking the "?" next to the news. Try something like: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/rss/japan.xml
Feel free to email me.
