Runtime Error with OD, DX, and Icon Start

Runtime

from WinCustomize Forums
All of a sudden I'm gettingan error message. I've had OD working on my system for a long time and it is just now giving me this error.

The file is: Program: ...amFiles\Stardock\ObjectDesktop\DesktopX\IconXStart.exe


The error reads:
Runtime Error!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it im an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information.

I've got all the lasted OD components upgraded through Stardock.


Any ideas?

When exactly do you get this error message? When you start up DesktopX, when you start IconX, or when you just boot up into Windows? If the latter applies, which programs (DX or IconX) are running at boot up?

IconX was initially integrated into DesktopX and was therefore installed into the same folder (as in our case). However, nowadays Iconx is a standalone application and should be installed in its own folder (ObjectDesktop\IconX). It seems to me that you have some sort of conflict between the old version of IconX and the new one?

Maybe you shoud try and uninstall both DesktopX and IconX and then go and reinstall the newest versions again through StardockCentral. You could (just for the sake of it) also try and rename IconXStart.exe to IconXStart.bak. Then restart DesktopX and see what happens... just a guess though.

Thanks, aufisch, for your response. I uninstalled both programs, and rebooted my computer. I installed desktop x and it worked. Then I installed IconX and neither one worked!! I installed them both from Stardock Central so I don't know what else to do right now. At least I've got DX working, but I really like IconX as well. I'll keep fiddling with it.

Thanks again,
Donna
