Xara Xtreme Pro 4.0.1 crashes on Windows 7 RC

[arj]

Xara support have provided me with a fix (some new dll's) and it now works just fine!

Thanks Xara support!

Which .dlls and what did they decide your problem was?

[arj]

It looks like a completely new build of the whole app 4.0.1.6977 dated 12 Dec 2008.

Hi Andrew,
"some new dlls" isn't a completely new build of the app

The point of forums is to share knowledge, you appear to have some knowledge which other members may benefit from regarding an Xtreme 4 issue you had with Windows 7 RC and which Xara helped you fix.
Obviously the provision of 'some dlls' indicates that Xara knew which files were causing the problem for you and so gave you some working replacements.
It would be good if you could let the forum know what the problem actually turned out to be (according to Xara) and which dlls needed to be replaced.

Thanks

Xara did not really explain the problem they simply sent me a zip file containing the following:-

Thanks Andrew.
The Xtreme.exe executable 4.0.1.6977 (12th Dec 2008) is a much later build than many of us are using.
I also see that the files appears to be taken from the MAGIX CD version.
