Reply to Vista x64 Icons are White in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

[quote]What will be fixed? Will this allow me to use icon packager without the headaches of blank icons?[/quote] It'll fix the corruption issue, if you follow what I had said above about installing IP through SDC first it should work fine afterwards. But seeing how your problem is solved you wont need to do it. I suggest installing IP through SDC, rebooting and then updating through Impulse. Something has gone fubar with the Impulse download for some reason and the only way to

Reply to Vista x64 Icons are White in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I think the current IP is bugged on Impulse, I had to format and when I installed IP and went to apply icons half the exe files would become default icons. It too me 2 hours to figure out a fix, install IP through SDC then reboot and update through Impulse. bmetelsky: go to regedit.exe (type in start menu search) and browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex and delete the IconHandler folder, reboot and it should be fixed.

[quote who="mickeko" reply="1" id="2040949"]I think the major reason for the lack of 64bit support is because of the signed-driver requirement. Imho it's a good idea, but getting a signing certificate should be free... Verification by cash is a horrible way to solve it. [/quote] Things such as display drivers work fine in beta, IE: Nvidia drivers. And no, you don't have to hit f8 everytime to disable the signed-driver requirement to use them.

Reply to WindowBlinds 6.40 BETA [January 2009] Support Thread in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Was working fine until I rebooted, seems to disable DWM and force basic mode for me. Unloading and reloading Windowblinds does the trick but I have to do it every single time I reboot my PC.

Reply to New Revolutionary Apple Laptop with No Keyboard !!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

so its a giant ipod running a linux based kernel... sorry but the giant wheel idea is a completely moronic idea, it seems that apple has gone caveman only they invented something useless and definitely not user friendly. i can already picture people throwing that thing against a wall out of frustration. sad thing is this looks like something apple would actually do..

Reset Activation Count? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I heard awhile back that it's possible to get the activation count reset VIA the forums so I figured I'd post and give it a try.. Hit the limit on WB after having to format due to new PC hardware, everything else activated fine but my guess is the limit has probably been hit on other things as well (IP and so on). If anyone is able to reset it that'd be awesome!

Reply to A good High Memory MB in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

My current system as follows: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.40GHz (1600MHz FSB) | Gigabyte EP35-DS3P Sapphire ATi HD 4870 X2 | OCZ SLI DDR2 800 8GB (4x2GB) Seagate 250GB SATA II (Primary) | Corsair 750W PSU | Vista Ultimate 64-Bit Great overclocking board, most of the high end Gigabyte boards are top notch and well supported. This board is getting a bit old but still runs everything perfectly. I would suggest looking into the X38/X48/P45 chipsets such as the Gigabyte E

[quote]why 64-bit only :/? [/quote] Because of the new hardware, for example you don't really want to use a Quad-Core processor in 32-Bit because the kernel will not fully utilize the 3rd and 4th cores, the performance increase is so minimal it's pathetic. A lot of people are also using more than 4GB of memory now, even if you have exactly 4GB 32-Bit doesn't even see the full amount of memory as it is, why stick with with 32-Bit? There is eventually a point in time where you
