Don't Try This at Home--Help :(

Don't Try This at Home--Help :(

Hey All,

I have refrained from posting here as long as I possiblity can. I think I have pulled a don't try this at home stunt, now I'm not sure what to do.

I uninstalled systemetrix,logon studio,theme manager,and WB5. The problem I kept enduring was that everytime I boot up my computer, my uninstall sheild came up and was trying to uninstall programs I didn't want uninstalled. I had this similiar problem with SystemMetrix before. I uninstalled it and everything was working fine. I decided to give it one more go and installed it again--month later. No, problems---as of yet. I then installed logon studio because everytime I tried to install a theme an error message came up with logon studio--not found--

Now everytime I tried to load logon studio, the uninstall sheild comes up
So, figured it was System Metrix at it again--click uninstall. Still had the same error message with Logon ---Click uninstall.

Went to theme manager...same thing WB--yep you guessed it--error Now mind you this is all the same uninstall sheild comes up with all the programs

So, At this point I thought well, maybe everything was "conflicting" so I try the install again. Went to Stardock central downloaded WB5--Nope won't install Stardock does a crash on me. So, I said to myself--Self--install WB4, so I did. No problems did the reboot thing--all is well. Went back to Stardock Central-up pops WB5update 3.03mb--so, I clicked update now-Now I'm watching the download 9.43mb of 9.43mb as it's "updating" thinking why is it downloading 9.43mb? Should only be 3.03??--goes through the whole process--get to 99% complete--Stardock Crashes--Now stubborn as I am, went back to SD and tried again, this time I clicked on auto-archive. Nope Now I get this error message:

C:\program files\stardock\sdcentral\installed\wb5 xml o not found

Sorry to be so long winded on this, but I really have spent all day trying to fix this--I have my pride ya know

Can anyone help me??

No errors, I assume...good. Now, un-install WB4. Use this https://www.stardock.com/files/odnt_zapper.exe (save any skins you might want to a temp folder, but don't put them back until this is working right). After the un-install, re-boot. Open SDC and install version 5.00[b].004. Re-boot

I want to hear good news...got it....good news...

Ok...I have good news and bad news

Good News: Got it up and running. I did have a slight problem with the task bar having the hiccups on me, but fixed that

Bad News: that link I got for the zapper uninstalled my object dock+

So, I went and ran through the process again and it worked. It did say there was a problem with a dll. file in icon packager, but, I just went and uninstalled everything manually. There were still some things left on there after the zapper. No biggie, figured well heck I've put almost 12 hrs into this now after I did that re-booted--went to msconfig and event log. Re-did all that..so far no problems. I have re-installed everything cept Icon Packager, I'm gonna wait a day to see how it runs first. Kinda upset cause I really enjoy that program.

So, now onto re-installing Object Dock+

Thanks again yrag


You have been very patient and helpful..Kudos!!!
