Desktop X freezeing

I dunno why this is happening but its driveing me crazy...Everything starts up normally and withoout problems, when I then go to my start menu, and try to access any of the programs my system freezes and then resets. At one point I was able to navigate with my keyboard without it freezing but now that seems to freeze up as well...Now everything runs fine, but I know when I shut down and restart the next day, I will have this problem again...

Grrr. I just answered in your other thread, and when I hit "submit" I got an "the article in request does not exist"-message.

Anyway, lets try this again. What versio of DX are you using? Does this problem happen with all themes or just with one? Do you use any Widgets?

Try the following:
First: Try to remove any widgets one at a time and see whether your system improves (sometimes older widgets can clash with newer versions of DX).

Second: If that doesn't work, try and clear your Widgets and Gadgets cache by deleting everything in c:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\WidgetCache (do the same for the GadgetCache-folder).

If that doesn't work either, save your current desktop. Then delete everything in c:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\CurrentTheme. This should cause DX to start up with a blank theme the next time. You can then try and reload your saved Theme.

JohnnyPants: I await your response to aufisch's questions.

He got trigger happy on the delete key for a few posts. Johnnypants, you could've just edited your post rather than deleting it From the deleted article:

Does this happen with all your DX-themes? Have you tried and applied another theme? Are you running widgets? Which versio of DX are you using?

I know those are a lot of questions, but if you got any widgets running I would suggest to kill one by one and see whether your system improves.

If that doesn't work, try to clear the widget cache by deleting everything in c:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\WidgetCache (do the same for the GadgetCache folder).

If that doesn't work either save your current Desktop, then delete everything in c:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX\CurrentTheme. This will cause DesktopX to start with the default theme the next time. You can then try and load your saved theme again.

I admire your persistence, aufisch!

He, he, I am persistent even in my misspelling. Just look at "versio"!
