importing old themes

from Stardock Forums
Im trying to use an older desktop x theme with the new desktop x 3. the theme in question was the longhorn desktop shipped with the shareware version of desktop x 2. the problem im having is that although it loads ok, the theme has large black spaces in it. also the button to toggle the auto hide option causes the theme to go crazy and get stuck in a loop where it displays the alert box over and over again crashing the system.
ive tried everything i can think of but im fairly new to the package so dont realy know what im doing and dont want to make it worse.
any help u could give me would be much appreciated.

Where are you seeing the black spaces and which auto-hide button are you referring to?

Which version of Windows are you using (including service packs)?

the black spaces appear insted of the background image of the side bar although the individual items on the bar(media player, clock, system performance etc) display ok. at the top left of the side bar there is a button to toggle whether or not the sidebar auto hides or is always visible.
