Games, Impulse and the Bill of Gamers in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Is there any other way to download and apply the latest update to Twilight of The Arnor other than having to use Impulse? If not, isn't the whole "Bill of Gamers" thing a tad hypocritical? 4. Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game. Ok, so it says "play" a game, not "update". But let's not split hairs hehe. Mind you, I don't own said game myself - but I

Reply to Stardock Central Clarification in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Are there any plans to add actual skin browsing/downloads to Impulse. I love that bit in Stardock Central and it's missing in Impulse. Or am I the one missing things? =P I know you can hit the "Gallery" link but that takes you to the site which is a lot slower and involves a lot more clicking than the galleries in Central hehe. Yeah, I'm a lazy bugger.

Looking good. There's really no such thing as too many rogue-likes. =)

Sooo - basically consoles are crap and only aimed at children with all that it entails in dumb software, big shiny buttons and droolproof controllers - whereas pc's are all for big, mature grownups with big, meaty brains and complicated games that you need a degree to play - assuming you're smart enough to start it in the first place. That about right? Or did you just want to stir up some pc's vs consoles drama?

Draginol (Brad?), you're my new hero. Your arguments are exactly the same as mine when I'm fuming over moronic copy protections that *only* annoy the honest, paying customers. Pirates hardly see a trace of it. Why not make a game worth buying instead of spending tons of money on crappy protections that only piss people off? I've been an ObjectDesktop (and other various stuff, I love Multiplicity hehe) subscriber for a while now and you guys will definitely get my hard earned coin when i

And I'm downloading fine on Vista64 now that those moldy old Ritz crackers got thrown out.

Cleaning out the IE cookies did the trick for me. =)

So far so good. I can't believe I didn't think of cleaning out my cookies myself hehe. It was just too obvious. I was already worrying about my router screwing up ports and such and such. Occam's Razor and all that. ;p

Reply to Stardock Central issues in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

I just got a reply to my email from Travis and it turned out to be something so simple I would never have thought of it. I simply cleared out all my cookies and, presto, SDC works properly again. Go figure hehe. I should mention that deleting the cookies in my default browser (firefox) probably wouldn't have done much good since SDC appears to use the IE engine to render pages. At least that's the impression I'm getting. Aanyhoo - I emptied both cookie jars and now I can downl

I tried to find some threads about it but failed miserably hehe. I'll look again, though. =) I'm running version 2.52.516 build 165 on Windows Vista Ultimate 64. The latest failed download is "Artifice WB". It's not a huge deal, really, since it works from the websites - but...you know. =P Edit: Found a couple of other threads but there was no real solution in either of them. It does appear, however, that it's a server-side problem. Not client-side. I'll just whip off

Stardock Central issues in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Hey folks I've been having some problems with my Stardock Central lately. For some reason I can't download any GUI's or other files through it any more. I can download just fine directly from the various sites - but in Stardock Central I just get "download failed". I am logged in - at least that's what the software reports - and I've tried a gazillion different files. I've tried "Download to Folder", "Download and Apply" and so on. But no go. Any idea what might be the probl

Reply to context/file menus in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Yeah, I noticed that too. Very handy. I think I should start work a bit more with the whole "preset" thing, though. For my own good hehe. I'm one of those whos last words is going to be along the lines of "oo, wonder what this button does".

Reset to defaults did the trick. Thank you. :) Maybe I should start taking notes when I fiddle with settings since I must have changed that one at some point hehe.

context/file menus in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hello folks. I'm trying to figure out how I can remove (or at least make it a little more opaque) the transparency in contextual menus (ex. right click desktop) and file menus (ex. Edit menu in Notepad) to make the menus a little more readable. I love the theme I'm using but that detail is causing some headache. Is there any way this setting can be altered? I'm quite comfy around computers but I'm not at all familiar with the inner workings of Window Blinds themes hehe. But I w

Aha. Yeah, that would explain my computers' uncooperative attitude when I tried to drag stuff between them hehe. Thank you. :)

Drag & Drop? in Multiplicity WinCustomize Forums

Greetings everyone. I've just bought the MP Pro thingy and am currently ooh'ing and aah'ing at my screens. However, I can't seem to figure out how to drag and drop between computers. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that you can drag a file or folder from one computer and drop it in another. Or am I confused? If I can do it, could someone please explain how? I'm a total newb when it comes to these things. Thanks and merry christmas, everyone. :)
