Activating Windowblinds after downloading archives for expired OD

from Stardock Forums

Reformated computer, reinstalled OD, nothing listed.

Found out that OD was expired, and realized after the fact that programs should have been archived on my end.  (yeah, i'm a dummy)

Contacted support who graciously sent me a link with all the programs available before OD expired.

Installed IconPackager using Impulse--works like a charm.

Installed Windowblinds using Impulse--Email/Serial required...  (I need that cool Mysteria skin back..best ever)

Can anyone offer any help with this issue.  I'd renew my sub in an instant...if I didn't have to replace my computer (which is quite the speed machine now)

Thank you :)

You should be able to put in your e-mail and OD serial number.  Even though it's expired, it should still activate your application.  Your subscription expiring stops you from getting updates, not activating/using the applications.

Thanks for your help Shirley, very grateful for it.

It worked like a charm, but then when I tried to use one of the skins it came with, I lost half of my HDD, and was put in repeated restart mode.  I then reinstalled Win XP Pro SP3, tried it again, with the same results...must be an SP3 issue.

Now I took the plunge and installed the Vista 64 Ultimate that my motherboard came with...and am now stuck in repeated "Reboot Now" mode, where I am told to shut off all spyware and firewalls.  Reinstalled everything, shut windows defender, firewall off and didn't install AVG, and was still told to "Reboot Now".

Did I mention IconPackager installed perfectly on both OS's.

I guess I am destined to live without the Mysteria experience, although....this Aero Interface is easier on the eyes than Luna.

Now Impulse is telling me that there is a "Problem getting update data" (I hate change...when will it end)
