I've had that same issue but only with v4.00xxxxxxxx. v3.96 which is the newest beta seems ok.

Didn't they do the same with IE8 and IE7 at one time? If so then Frankief speaks the truth. Just hide it and you won't be bothered, but.. I guess we shall see.

[quote who="gmc2" reply="102" id="3038972"]what is the purpose of have some of the JU threads being posted on the WC site? [/quote] Here's my guess. Because Brad WANTS the JU threads to populate across HIS sites. He has the right to do it the way he wants to do it and has earned the right. This really is a teeny weeny insignificant thing in the grand scheme of things...

My 2-cents... Like Zubaz said, it makes no sense doing that since WC is a Windows Customization Site. As for the forums... well, with all of the existing ranting and complaining about the forums why would you want to further muddy the waters and have more to complain about? Plus, I find typing on a smart phone to be ok for txt messaging by I certainly wouldn't want to use it for more in depth things. I don't think there is a forum on the planet that I NEED to use my ph

Neil, I've uninstalled apps before via add remove programs in control panel, but...... honestly, this may have been the first time I've done it after I removed Impulse. ( Phoon salts foot, inserts in mouth for 100,000,000 th time....)

now the brighter side. The beta (3.96) seems to work ok on Win7 x64 Ultimate. I loaded up an object I created in 3.5 and at least the script editor opens with this version. It did not do so with the 4.00.017 version

wow, this just gets better and better.... I have 3.5 Pro installed via Impulse on my laptop. Trying to uninstall it. Seems that I have to have Impulse installed just to uninstall the old version. A complete and utter load of #$%^. This must be something new and stupid that gamestop has done. It never used to be like that.

Reply to DesktopX 4 and DesktopX 4 Pro Beta Updates in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

RND, are you sure we are talking about DXPro? The link for DX says 3.96, the link for pro SAYS 3.5 but as we all know, that info is not correct at all.

I've tried IE9 and Chrome. All downloads are the 4.00.017 regardless of what pc I use to try.

Reply to DesktopX 4 and DesktopX 4 Pro Beta Updates in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

No difference RND, it still downloads the 4.x version. Just curious, does 3.96 actually work?

In the mid 90's i ran a small BBS. The BBS software was called Renegade. Ran it on Win 3.x and that was all my pc was good for. If I wanted to play doom I had to shut down the BBS to do it. Well a friend of mine which was/is a complete and utter computer genius helped me set up OS/2. His fingers hit the keyboard in streaks faster than lightning and I never got a chance to completely understand what all he did do to configure the BBS but I tell ya, that thing was SOLI

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="37" id="3033350"]Also, I may be doing it wrong, but I don't seem to be able to restore an Impulse archive. They may have made changes . . you'd have to contact them for that. [/quote] This is just plain silly. One should not have to contact Gamestop to restore a Stardock app just because stardock seems to have lost the install file for the ONLY functional version of DXPro. Seriously...
