Reply to skins won't apply in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have been using the full bought version for over a year now, but just recently it's stopped applying skins. I had just rebooted the PC only to see the default XP interface, so I loaded the WB config window, selected and applied a skin, but nothing changed. It does the usual out-of-focus, depth-of-field kinda thing just before you usually see the skin loading, but it either crashes the config prog, or reverts back to XP default. Most annoying, as it seems to have happened for no reason whatsoev

Ha! That worked... thanks a bunch Hankers. I had previously tried my postcode, tried "East Kilbride, United Kingdom", tried "East Kilbride, UK", but nothing... until now. Glasgow is only 8 miles away, so it should be accurate enough. Thanks again.

DeskScapes will probably be made available for Vista Enterprise customers and will run .dream files as well. But that's a bit in the future. Good news... thanks!

Reply to The DREAM begins! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It's too bad that Vista Enterprise doesn't qualify for DreamScene, or any of the Vista Ultimate Extras for that matter, means I won't be able to play with it. Unless MS changes it's mind. Agreed... Sitting here with 10 Enterprise licenses for the office network, and no chance of using these groovy walls is a B.U.M.M.E.R.

Wow! That's what I call service... I just received a freshly activated sig.bin, about 40 seconds after requesting it. I've installed it, and it's now working perfectly! Thanks Bichur, and thanks for the turbo-activate, Stardock. I'm off to get lost in space...

Reply to Installing GalCiv2 to another PC? in GalCiv 2 WinCustomize Forums

Sorry, looks like I need to reinstall my brain... What you suggested seems to indeed be the way, but what I missed, and what I now need to do, is send an activation request email to Stardock. Hopefully I should receive a reply soon... Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick reply Bichur... but I've done all that, as per this FAQ : WWW Link ...however, I get as far as the archive restore completing, and where the FAQ says I should be asked for an install path, it doesn't. It does in fact install it to a logical path though; C:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\ ...but when I run

Excellent news. Winfixer2006 WinAntiVirus2006 DriveCleaner2006 Hang 'em all...

Reply to Enterprise Market Cautious on Vista Adoption in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I find Microsoft's attitude quite surprising, and not a little stoked by marketing, given that the majority (about 85%-ish) of all PCs we get into our workshop for repair/reinstall are only barely capable of running XP home, properly , let alone Vista. After having arm-wrestled 100's of customers into doubling their RAM (and the rest) to run XP, I can't see them being overly enthusiastic about having to replace all they have just paid for with a

Yeah, I mean I don't even have too many; Skype / µtorrent (when in use)/ Zone Alarm / Mcafee AV / Speaker, and that's it... but like I said, I'm a real miser when it comes to desktop real-estate.

Reply to Aquarium Desktop tray icon suggestion... in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Hmmm... now that I've done that, I've discovered that the "real estate" formerly occupied by the Aquarium icon is now being occupied by the "show hidden icons" icon. LOL... oh well.

Reply to Aquarium Desktop tray icon suggestion... in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Thanks KiloKrash, that will do nicely in the mean-time! It's something I always forget, as I have always disabled the "hide inactive icons" function for years now. Old habits and all that... Thanks buddy.

Aquarium Desktop tray icon suggestion... in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Any chance someone could implement an option to not display the tray icon? It's just that, like WB, when I have it all loaded and my own preferences set, I don't need to access it unless I want to make changes, which I can do by using the start-menu icon, saving taskbar real-estate in the process... ...and yes, I am a desktop real-estate miser.

Yep, the icons are fine, they just trade positions randomly.

Reply to What's the deal with support for IconPackager? in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Hi baggins, Yes, the problem is only when changing icon themes/packages. It seems to only affect certain, random icons. Out of say, 30 icons on screen, it shuffles about 10 - 20 of them around, not to random locations, but taking certain ones, and replacing them with others found elsewhere on the desktop, essentially swapping locations. Sometimes I don't even notice it's happened 'til I go to click an icon in its normal place, and I find it where the icon I do find, used to be.
