Got a problem with ATL

from Stardock Forums

Hi,


Can anyone help me out of this problem, please?


When I load a theme (not one in particular) I got the following error message:


"Starting failed (Cannot initialize ATL)"


The loading actually continues, but it doesn't feel right.


Thanks in advance.

What program are you loading?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll fire up the Theme Manager and select one of the suites and load it. I tried also loading a theme directly with Windowblinds: same error. So I guess it's Windowblinds.


Thanks.

WBConfig does not use ATL.

I think the error message is coming from something else on your PC, possibly in response to colour change messages.

Stopped all apps I could think of. Problem persists. Have to say my guess was wrong about WB. It must be the Theme Manager (whether choosing a suite via display/properties or via the TM itself). Choosing a skin via WB is okay. Btw the error dialog that I mentioned before has "Connection Manager" in its title. Maybe that's a little help? Thanks!
