DX3 Crashes

DX3 worked OK for a week and now crashes. Themes, widgets and objects do not load without crashing. Stardock advised uninstall, reinstall and reboot - still not working. All skins deleted in the the reinstall. A pity - I enjoyed the product. Any suggestions welcome

A common cause of crashes in DesktopX is that the Windows scripting host has been damaged.

Many crashes in dx and it's widgets happen because the script plugin can't
connect to the host. This seems to happen most often with PC's that have
antivirus that hooks into checking for malicious scripts. I have had it
happen a couple of times with Norton. Both times it was fixed by reinstalling
the scripting host.

THANK YOU! That worked perfectly. I had just dumped Norton because it was causing other problems, but clearly the damage had been done.

Thanks again,
