I'm using that version as well and mine is ok. What version of Windows are you on? XP/Vista? 32bit/64bit?

If you already have Object Desktop components installed, then you don't need to do anything. Just check Stardock Central, or Impulse, for regular updates to the applications.

Are we meant to be able to download impulse?

I've downloaded the new Object Desktop 2008 Launchpad and I've noticed that a program is no longer listed... Object Bar. Is it no longer being carried forward?

Saw that too.  Dunno but am saddened if it's been End-of-Lifed.

Same here (version 3.99.143), and even after uninstall previous version , reboot etc ... still the old UI ...

Really wonder what's wrong with IP ...  :(

I think Impulse really needs a sort by date option and a details view option (like SDC)

Just bought it yesterday morning.... There are a few glitches that remain right on top.. however, I'll leave that up to sending it off to the support team instead of wasting space here. I like the look and feel of it.. like I mentioned before, Stardock's UI for their programs is IMHO, simple..easy to use. The way all programs should reach for.

Well, it'd be helpful if Impulse actually worked... and/or gave hints about the issues it sees when it doesn't work, and what the end user could try to do to get it to work. To me, this entire thing looks like a bunch of eye candy, and a dumbed-down user interface from what USED to be a very useful, and (at least to me) easy to use application - Stardock Central (aptly named, as the central application which to run to download/install/uninstall/update/run everything produced by Stardock). Heck, I still like the absolute simplicity of Component Manager, and still run that on my Win2000 Server - as that's the only app which still lets me install SmartIP. Please stop following Microsoft's lead in changing the UI of an application and making it "easier to use for the end user" but in fact just hides way too many options and makes it even MORE confusing for anyone to use (e.g. the newer Control Panel views in recent Windows OS's). Don't pretty things up solely to make them pretty - give me a simple list of applications which I can download, and let me download them.

Impulse is targeted to a wider audience beyond Stardock apps.

For new users, Impulse will be much easier to use.

MS has made changes to their UI based on more money than you and I will ever see.  Copying them makes good sense.  :)  But as always, Stardock will improve on what MS has done.
