One of the first things our app does is search the registry settings for our db name, user password, etc.  If that setting is not found or unable to be read, it will default this to TRAINSERVER. 

 

In my testing, I found that on Windows 7, it was putting TRAINSERVER every time the skin was applied.  I originally called the LoadSkin and ApplyFramework in Form_Load of the Mdi parent.  It reset our registry setting every time.   Then I changed the code to call it from a command click after the MDI parent was loaded.  Since our app was loaded, you would think it would work, but it reset our registry settings immediately following the ApplyFramework and therefore our app would not retrieve data.

 

I realize it is a large project with lots of forms.  Maybe there is a delay in applying the skin to all forms and it is causing a conflict in our code to read the registry settings?  Or maybe there are registry settings for the actual control and it is conflicting with ours?  Please help me. I have sent at least 4 messages to the support portal since Oct 19th and HAVE NOT gotten a single response.   I need to know if there is some solution to this problem. asap!
