WindowX keeps on crashing whenever I try to save it

from Stardock Forums
Whenever I try to save my desktop, the program (desktopX) always crashes. I had the same problem when I was working on a different desktop before, so i deleted that desktop and started over. Now i'm having the same problem again. Arg...so frustrating

whoops...forgot to include my question: does anyone have any ideas as to why it does this? and is there a way that i can save my desktop? (perhaps using another program to do so?)

I'm not sure what causes these quirky events with DX ...for me it seems to only happen is Im working with a Theme offline. If I'm online - seems the crashing events are very infrequent ..

I think it may have something to do with some of the scripts. Especially weather scripts - script is calling to be online to obtain the needed info.
Did you ever notice when you close down a theme or weather object offline that you get error message ? I have tried working on weather widgets offline and have to constantly export after each new step - I learned the hard way after almost finishing widget and DX crashed and I had to start all over again...So I normally work on these type of projects online....

These are only assumptions on my part - perhaps someone has a more in depth answer...
