WinStyles "not connected" message

Check Winstyles internet settings to make sure they're what you expect for your computer:

Click the Winstyles tab in your display properties dialog to display the Winstyles page. Then pres the Winstyles button and select the Settings option. This lauches the Winstyles program.

On this program. click the Settings icon on the left hand side of the window. Then look to the top right of the window and you'll see an Internet Options button.

When I click the Internet Options button, I get "Winstyles 1.00 has encountered a problem and needs to close." AppName: winstyles.exe, AppVer 1.0.0.1, ModName unknown, ModVer 0.0.0.0, offset: 00000000

Exception code 0xC0000005.

It looks like the "You are not connected to the internet" string is in Memory Range 45, along with "Download File %d of %d..%d%% complete" and many other strings.

I attached to WinStyles.Exe in the .NET debugger, and learned that shortly after I click on the Internet Options button, the program tries to read address 0. Could it be that someone isn't checking his / her return values?

Hmmm. I just tried pressing Internet Settings and I am getting the same access violation exception problem that you are seeing.

I am getting a crash with no error, it simply dissapears. Also, I can't save a theme.
