Thank you so much for your help, I followed it to the letter but no change I'm afraid.Any theme I try to load comes up with the "encountered a problem and has to close" error, then I can do nothing but shutdown DesktopX. Is this because I am using the free downloaded version? The strange thing is, on the download page for DesktopX itself, it says "download DesktopX 2.1" but once its downloaded, I look at the properties of it and it says it is version 2.0.0.0. COuld this incompatibility h

Thanks for your help. I did as you suggested but everything is still the same Im afraid. i suppose i will just have to uninstall it all and go back to the plain old windows XP desktop.

To add to my last message, once I agree to close desktopX all my desktop icons disappear. Also, when I try to start desktopx from the startmenu, I get this message "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 new empty theme or load this theme again?"

I have an Intel 3.2ghz HT. with 1024 RAM. I have shut down everything but explorer and systray from running in the background and have even downloaded a new theme, but it still does it, it half loads, then just when its nearly finished it stops and gives the error message. also the error message says " Error signature AppName: Desktop.exe AppVer.0.0.0.0. ModName:dxaxhost.dll ModVer 2.0.0. (although I have version 2.1) Offset:000223ca Hope this helps, Thank you, Jan

I have downloaded DesktopX 2.1, but everytime I try to load a theme I get a message "Desktop X has encountered a problem, it will now close". whichever theme I use I get this and also on Desktop objects too. Any ideas please??? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Desktop X.
