Followed both suggestions and it worked first time. Great, thanks very much for the help! Ian

Can't Update to Version 2 of OD launchpad in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Ever since version 2 of the launchpad appeared in early August, I have been unable to update it from version 1. I get as far as agreeing to download the list of files but it refuses to download one particular file and times out after three tries. The log file reads as follows:-- [Installing] ----------------------------------------------------- Server: http://sdcentral2.stardock.com Server Dir: public Network Id: odnt Name: Object Desktop Launchpad App Id: lp

Reply to Copernic Agent Personal in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Neil I can't speak about Copernic Agent Basic, but the version of C A Personal that I have the problem with is also version 6.12 build 722. As far as I know the Basic version has the same panes. Have you tried contacting Copernic.com themselves? They may well allow you access to the Personal or Professional versions for a trial period. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif"

Copernic Agent Personal in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Even with the latest version of Windowblinds, the three left-hand panes in the main Copernic window still have a black background, making text and buttons impossible to see: they are "Quick Search", "Common Tasks" and "Page Preview". Is there any hope of resolving this other than to prevent Copernic being skinned? Ian

Reply to WB5 Program Incompatible List in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I should like to add my experience to that of #20 by lbolton. I too have a black panel on the left hand side of the screen with Copernic Agent Personal. It should have coloured text on a white backgorund. The only way to deal with this is to exclude it from being skinned. The problem has not been resolved with any of the WB5 releases to date.

Reply to Windows re-boots on start-up - WB5 beta problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've uninstalled LogonStudio, and will see if this makes any difference. No the problem does not happen every time I switch on and, yes, I do have several partitions on two hard discs, but this has created no problems with any other software. Best wishes Ian

Windows re-boots on start-up - WB5 beta problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Since updating to the latest WB beta - 4.90d[b].002 I have had the same problem twice. Whilst loading for the first time after the computer is switched on, Windows halts and the machine re-boots, causing Windows to perform a disk check as it re-starts. In each case, it detects a couple of errors in the files on Drive C, but different errors each time. The WB trouble-shooting report is as follows:- WindowBlinds 5 BETA Troubleshooting Repor

Reply to Problem with latest beta and Copernic in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I am using version 4.90d[b].002. Copernic skinned properly with Windowblinds version 4. Would screen prints of the application showing the problem and one with Copernic left unskinned be helpful? If so, how do I include them? Best wishes Ian

Reply to WindowBlinds 5 Beta 1 - Same Problem in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Sorry, my problem was being stuck with the classic desktop! However, the next version of the beta has cured that. There is another problem with the latest beta, which I have just reported to you. It concerns Copernic Agent Personal. If I have not given enough detail please let me know. I can always send you a screen capture so you can see what's going on. Best wishes Ian

Problem with latest beta and Copernic in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The latest beta of Windowblinds 5 is not skinning Copernic Agent Personal properly. The panes on the left-hand side of the main search window are rendered in black until a search has been carried out. Even then only part of the panes changes to the correct black text on a white background. Also parts of the background are rendered as transparent when they should be white. This problem occurs with Copernic version 6.12, build 722. I am running Wind
