I guess a reinstall would be the next thing. Make sure you unload Windowblinds first. Then uninstall it using Stardock Central (if you dont have SDC do it via 'Add and Remove Programs'. Do a reboot and after that install via SDC (alternatively via an installer). I would recommend you check for old version of WB in you "add and remove programs panel" and remove them as well before installing the newest version. <a href="../resou

Did you use any Docklets while running Object Dock? In the past memory leaks were mostly associated with the docklets rather than with the program itslef. I use both Adobe Acrobat (and print from it) and Object Dock and did not so far run into any problems. If you used Docklets, try and remove them one by one to find out which one is causing problems for you. <img src="http://images.stardock.co

This DEP problem was supposed to be fixed with version 4.4 of Windowblinds. But it is definitively worth while to try and disable DEP for a while and see wether this was the cause of it.

I believe bootskin is just on of those programs that does not work with all computers (note that it is unsupported freeware for exactly this reason). The reason for this is that there is no such thing as a standardised BIOS. Manufacturers of computersystems often "tweak" and "adjust" the BIOS to their needs. My own personal rule of thumb whether to install bootskin on a system would be: 1) Laptops and Notebooks > Their BIOS

The Iconpackager files of AlienGIUse should be included in the 40MB download. Go and check in your c:\Program Files\AlienGUIse folder (or equivalent). You might have to install them manually by copying the two folders (AlienMorph and ALXMorph) containing the .iptheme and .icl files to your IconPackager\Themes folder. Do you have Object Dock installed? https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ If you have you will have to uzipp the downla

Huuhh, "manually uninstalling" is the best way to mess up your system because it will leave heaps of keys in the registry. I would suggest you get your IT-guy in or someone else who has administrator privileges and get him to unistall it properly.

What program are you using to unzip the files? Most programs unzip into a folder (if you right-click on a zipped files you often get several options like "expand", or "unzip". "Open" usually only gives you the files in the way you described). Also note, the preferred way would be of course if the files would download as a wba-file and then install themselves after double-clicking on it. But I am glad that you were able to at least get all the files. Th

Hmm, I am not sure about that one, but it seems you have a clash somewhere after you upgraded to Object Desktop. Did you use WB on the same system (same CPU) before (what version did you use and did it skin your taskbar)? When You installed Object Desktop, did you unistall the old version of Windowblinds first? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Posted via WinCustomize

all that shows up in the stardock/windowblinds/ is the folder, and the folder is empty Huu? Thats weird indeed. Try the following in that case. Rename the wba-files to zip files (just right-click on them > rename > and type in zip over wba). Unzipp this file to a known location. You should get a folder

I have been using PixOS as well, and I haven't had problems with the Quicklaunch buttons. Which version of Windowblinds are you using? Also; right-click on your WB icon in the Systray and click on "Configure Windowblinds". There on the left side under "Settings" click on "Basic Settings". Under "Enhance Deskop settings" make sure you have a little cross in "Skin the quicklaunch taksbar buttons". Note that the free version of WB does

It seems strange that WB would't skin IE. What version of WB do you use? Have you tried updating through SD-central? Have you checked your Per application settings? Right-click on the WB sign in your systray > Configuration settings > Per Application. Is IE mentioned in there? (it should't be). If nothing helps, I would try to unistall > reboot > reinstall. <img src="http://images.sta

I am not sure what you mean with "unload with wbload". But since you have problems, I would rather use the "save as"-option. This will download the file as a .wba -file. (I think Mozilla downloads to the desktop by default, if you wan't to change that go into your download options menu). After you have the file on your desktop just double-click on it and it should install fine. <img src="http://images.s

Data Vampire: Sorry its me again, I just noticed that you have placed the file there already, but of course I can't edit my comment, in fact I can't even see it!! So this might not show up as well. Now back to your problem. Is your Windows in English? If not try the following. Search for the equivalent of a "Common Files" folder in the language of your OS (it should be in the equivalent of the C:\Program Files folder). Create a new folder call

Anthony Spinks: What exactly are you trying to download and install (the name of the file). There are not really a lot of "Themes" available for Object Dock. There are a mostly different backgrounds or single png-icons. The background folders need to be placed into your ObjectDock\Backgrounds folder. While the PNG-files can be placed into a folder of your choice within your ObjectDock foler. E.g if you are downloading a heap of Office related

Stardock MPC is part of Stardock Central. 1)If you haven't installed it get it from here https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/ 2) If you have installed it already make sure MPC is not disabled. (Tools > Settings > Enable MCP SmartStartup) 3) If you did all of the above and it is still not working and you have a non English version of Windows. Go into your default program folder (e.g. c:\Program Files (English) or C:\P
