from WinCustomize Forums
No, really... I swear, just about every time I run DesktopX I get error messages saying "Doh!". Here's a pic:

I've already checked for spyware, and I'm currently installing Norton. Are there any virae that produce this strange error message? IS it some type of freak message from Stardock?

Without taking apart the latest binary in a decompiler (since none of the developers are answering their cell phones which RAN OUT OF BATTERY POWER), it is possible that could be a DesktopX error message left in during development. Or, depending on the theme which I can't see because the website you are hosting it on yells at me, a debug message from a dxscript erroring out.

Chances that Stardock adds freak messages like that to its own software are slim.

Can you try what happens to the theme if you remove or disable all objects using scripts?

I grepped all the current source trees, there's no chance there's a "doh" in any of the plugins we released or DesktopX itself. Are you using version 1.97 or an older version? Also, could you please export and send me the theme ( ian@stardock.com ). Thanks, and apologies for the inconvenience.

The theme will be the first Matrix theme you come across in the DesktopX library. Sorry, I'm lazy.

Also, it seems Norton has picked up a Win32.Pinfi virus.

Yeah, it probably is the virus, don't think somebody puts java or vb or whatever in his script...
