When I select Display, Adjust the color of glass window borders, it crashes explorer.exe. This is on Vista 32bit, Business and Ultimate (tried it on 3 different systems with the same result). It never shows a subsequent dialog, clicking the link causes the crash. If I select it again after the crash recovers, it becomes a dead link.

Hmm. That's a curious one! It's not crashing here, but I'll see if we can rustle up a computer that it does have problems on, and take a look at why that's happening. Thanks for the note!

This is interesting, when I click Display I get this:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Wow. That's a funky one. It suggests that you either don't have a video controller or don't have a monitor. Either of those seems unlikely. What happens if you click Continue? Can you get to the Display section, and if so, what does it look like?

If I hit continue, if I choose a category I just see the main page with a different title.

The latest update still gives the service error, but the program doesnt cease working.
