StyleXP Keeps Crashing

[DJ-phYre]

Everytime I try running StyleXP it crashes. It only crashes when I click on Themes/Logons/ect (the stuff to do with system files). It says there is an access violation in user32.dll in %system%\system32\ - I did a file protection verification and it found no errors. So somewhere in the DLL StyleXP screwed up. I tryed upgrading still the same thing. So now I am in search for a solution on how to fix this. Will someone please help me figure this problem out. Thanks!

Uninstall StyleXP and use the modified uxtheme.dll instead.
It works just as well ... without the use of any external software.

Good luck!

DJ-phYre, when u get the error message, hit print screen, then open paint, paste, save as whatever, and then post the pic, not all this code. sorry I should have told you

 

[DJ-phYre]

Here is the print screen of the error msg i get

Please take a look at this msg to see if you can tell me what the problem it is, it happens when I click on Visual Styles or Themes

 

[Iceman]

I can find nothing on this error, my suggestions on this are,

1. Go to TGT website and get the latest version update for StyleXP and install that, see if that corrects the problem.

2. post a pic of the short error code that follows when u click "to see what data this error report contains click here".

other than that I'm stumped.
