[quote]Is it supposed to be just a static picture, with no animation? If so, what's the point?[/quote] Is the animation important to you? Most users like having a custom image and just find the animation gets in the way.
[quote]Yet another update......still not working...try fixing it once and for all, and don't release programs until they are fully functioning, particulary when people pay good money for same. I acturally paid to extend my subscription into 2010 to get just this unworkable program...what an absolute fool I was.[/quote] Ian, We will make Bootskin work for all users as quickly as possible. There have been a few different issues (not just one) we have been addres

[quote]3. I don't use "website guides" to disable OS functions which have been deemed "unecessary" by some gamer. [/quote] Monk - right on. One of the issues that keeps poping up is due to the fact that users are disabeling Windows automatic root certificate update. Is this a standard practice in gaming forums that recommend tuning for performance? Basically to disable anything that says "automatic update"? It sounds like that is the case. So, in resp
[quote]there was an error while applying,thats what bootskin pro keeps coming up with on any of the themes I try to apply in the app 1.00.035 on impulse the version reads 1.00.037?[/quote] Skibadee, If you are on a non-English Windows client we are aware of the issue and working on it to hopefully publish a fix for tomorrow.
[quote]ThemeManager issue with applying the Blind has been resolved...Thank you very much[/quote] Glad to hear it! You are most welcome. Enjoy the Aero Midnight theme.
[quote]Flawless install. Everything running beautifully here.[/quote] Great to hear PJDark. What version of Windows XP/Vista are you using?
[quote]I just updated to Bootskin Pro 1.00.037 and I'm still getting the error message....Vista Home Premium x64: US English... UAC off.\ Also tried running as administrator... no go there either.[/quote] Are you using a non-English version of Windows? There is a known issue with non-English Vista versions that we are working to repair tomorrow.
[quote]I submitted a support ticket with Stardock support but I have yet to hear back.[/quote] I will talk to support in the morning for you La Forge.
[quote]I purchased OD 2008 Ultimate (upgrade ver) I installed all the apps included Soundpackager using IMPULSE. Soundpackager installed and activated just fine, but when I updated to ver 1.1.0.025 now it is asking for activation again. Also IMUPULSE reads ver 1.1.0.25 is installed but when I check the ver in Soundpackager welcome screen, it reads ver 1.0.0.0. What gives? I tried to activate by using my OD ULTIMATE serial and I get this messsage: Maximun activations reached. I don't get it. I
[quote]Hi. I keep reading these threads and I can't find anyone who is having my problem. I am running on XP, and my Impulse says that Deskscapes is available, but when I click it it is not compatible with my operating system. I do have the latest impulse (at least I think I do) and I do have the Theme Manager. Does anyone have any suggestions? Jason[/quote] Jason, Please try going into the blue orb (top left, click on it, it is big and .. well .. blue) and click on preference
[quote]It seems Theme Manager was updated on 11/20 - and that release fixed the issue I had with trying to apply the Windowsblind portion of Suites and Themes - hope it worked for others as well. Thanks for the quick response Stardock![/quote] Glad to hear this worked for you! You are welcome and enjoy Aero Midnight and Object Desktop! :-)
[quote]Thanks for all of your help and sorry your are so swamped. I clicked "yes" and dreams that came with DeskScapes work fine, and no high cpu usage. At least for now my nVidia GeForce 7300GT AGP 8X card with 512Mb and DirectX9.0c seem to be fine. Here is a shot of task manager performance.[/quote] That is great news! Thank you very much for providing us with that feedback! Enjoy Deskscapes!
[quote]I have the same problem with registration being invalid after data refresh. OD Ultimate subscriber on Vista Ultimate x64 here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter[/quote] Peter, Please contact [email protected] about your issue. We need sensative account information to solve your problem. Thanks.
[quote]@Stardock/Zargon; I don't think we're suppose to have the "Edit Application (Admin)" link in the right click menu are we?[/quote] We were testing with your account. Nice eyes! You have been demoted. ;-)
[quote]I hate to bring bad news, but.... Just incase it's not a temporary or intentional thing: I lost Bootskin Pro entirely now. (Object Desktop Ultimate subscriber)[/quote] I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your first sentence.. ;-) Thanks. I also appreciate you bringing it to our attention. You should see it now. This happened when we were adding Bootskin Pro to the Object Desktop (non-Ultimate) accounts.
[quote]However Bootskin Pro did not show as needing an update so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled I got the same version again 1.00.027[/quote] Do you see 1.00.035
[quote]No luck on the standalone notebook, either. I get the same problem running at 1440 x 900. Also, for what it's worth, I disable my desktop icons to get the .Dream running. After minimizing a full-screen window, the .Dream is gone and replaced with a solid-color desktop. Any ideas? [/quote] Just re-apply. This is an issue with the fact that we are sharing the dialog for desktop properties. Sometimes settings left over can get applied inadvertantly. <p
[quote]Any word on this "update"? I'm actually a beta tester for ATI drivers and they are not even aware of anything being done when I checked with them.[/quote] We are working directly with some of the developers at ATI. There are many different parts of the development and BETA testing teams. We have a driver in our possession that we are BETA testing that resolves the CPU utilization issue.
Bootskin Pro update. There is a new version of Bootskin Pro that fixes the problem on English clients. (1.00.035) We had two issues that were confusing the issue, one was an international issue. We are still working on the non-English issue and hope to have resolution shortly. Also, Bootskin Pro was not showing up for Object Desktop (non-Utlimate) users. It should be showing up shortly.
If you were having problems applying Aero Midnight skin, please update Theme Manager and try again.

There was a redirect for the main download that was broken. It has been fixed, you can now download from http://www.impulsedriven.com/
[quote]Installed updated bootskin pro, and unfortunately it still doesn't work properly for me. It says the skin is installed but I only get the default aurora (the still image, not the progressbar thing) image when booting.[/quote] That is how it will work. Microsoft hides the boot animation when a boot skin is applied.
[quote]If you can not get the suite to install with my colors or theme manager. change .suite to .zip and extract, then apply the skins as wanted. Remember to Zip the WB folder up and change .zip to.wba then apply the WB theme.. Example Aero Midnight.suite would be changed to Aero Midnite.zip[/quote] We think we have a fix for this issue. Please hold off if you can for the new version of Theme Manager to be published shortly.
If you are running Deskscapes, please follow the FAQ guidelines . Also, please remember that Deskscapes is a graphically rich application like a game and therefore requires the latest video drivers. If you have not done so in a while, please update your video drivers to the latest version before applying. Some users have reported high CPU utilization using
