What exactly do you mean by "out of tune"? Do the strings sound sharp? Flat? Is one string of a pair out of unison with the other? Assume that the strings are in tune when you don't fret them; do they start going out of tune when you fret them? How far up the neck? Have you checked the 12th fret octave against the harmonic at the same fret?
"Out of tune" is a broad description. Some people use it for a sound that they don't find pleasing, even if the pitch is accurate. If you try to describe the problem more specifically, we can be more help.
