DesktopX 3 pro Builder Crashes, even after Reboot

DesktopX 3 pro Builder crashes each time. Even a Windows restart does not help.

After installation of Desktopx 3 i was able to run DesktopXBuilder. I then opened the widget "Barney.exe". All was fine so far. But as i opened properties of the widget DesktopXBuilder crashed. Restart of windows did not help.

A new reinstall of desktopx did not help also.

I then uninstalled DesktopX, removed all Stardock Folder under program files and under program files/common files.
Then i installed desktop X again and all worked fine... , until i open a widget and try to open its properties.

DesktopX Builder crashes again.

The windows xp problem report (don´t know how its called in english, i mean the program, which sends information to microsoft after a crash) tells me

Problem signature
AppName: desktopx builder.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: user32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1617 Offset: 0002fdac

My sysgem is:
Windows XP SP1 german
Hardware:
Centrino 2.0GHz
1GB Ram
ATI Radeon Mobil

Any ideas.

Best regards,

Did you install over DesktopX 2? Or was this a fresh install?

I first uninstalled 2.4 LX pro, rebooted and then installed DesktopX 3.

For all which are interested:

I found out, how to get rid of the crashes. Believe it or not: I renamed the german language file, so desktop builder could not load it ( i have a german version of XP running). Now DesktopBuilder comes up with a message, that desktopx exited not correctly and if i want to load an empty desktop.

No crashes anymore.

i can reproduce this as often as i want. If i rename the german language file back and set my preferences to german in desktop builder, than DesktopBuilder crashes again if i enter properties of a loaded widget. And after that, i cannot load DesktopxBuilder again.....

Sounds strange, but its true. Don´t know, whats wrong with the german language file. I opened it in ultraedit, all seems ok. I even changed the german umlaute ä ö ü to ae oe ue, but its the same.

But at least, i found a solution.

Greetings,

Matthias
