Desktop X Buffer Overrun Error Message

What The Heck Happened?

from WinCustomize Forums
Out of the blue, when I booted my computer this morning, I got an error message telling me that a buffer overrun had been detected in desktopx.exe...this buffer overrun had corrupted the program, so Desktop X had to shut down because it was not useable. I decided to uninstall Desktop X, then reinstall it through Stardock Central, I rebooted after installation, and then got the same darn message. My weather widget actually loaded just fine, but when I went into the objects folder and picked an object at random to load, I got the same buffer overrun error. So apparently widgets are useable, but the rest of program is toast.

How do I fix this? Help, please.

*bump*

Haven't tried that yet, but it's definitely an option.

Any other suggestions?
