I submitted a support ticket with Stardock support but I have yet to hear back. In the meantime, has anyone else seen what I have been experiencing with Deskscapes 2.5? Attempting to start *any* dream results in the Display Properties box hanging for a second, and then it goes back to normal with no dream applied. I'm running XP SP3 with a nVidia Quadro FX 570M. See previous posts of mine for further details. Thank you.

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

Jason,

Please try going into the blue orb (top left, click on it, it is big and .. well .. blue) and click on preferences.  From there you will see the "Reset Data" button.  Click on that to force an XML update to your Impulse client.

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 purchased OD ULTIMATE just a few days ago. I sent an email to tech support, got a reply that I send them the activation string. I did that I received another activation string, saved it as sig.bin and placed in the soundpackger folder, ran the app again and it keeps asking me for activation! All other applications are activated. I read somewhere here on this forum that the latest update for SP has a bug in the code and a new patch or update was promised for today.

This update to Soundpackager has been published.  Uses should no longer see any activation issues.

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.

Flawless install. Everything running beautifully here.

Great to hear PJDark.  What version of Windows XP/Vista are you using?

No, I'm running an English version of Vista Home Premium x64 SP1... set to Australian English language/US keyboard.

Thank you for your reply. I did as you said and am still getting the exact same problem.

I think the BootSkin Pro issue is with non US versions rather than non english. The international issue is that it claims to have installed a bootskin, but it doesn't work. Getting an error message is most likely some other issue.

In a previous post you claimed to have a US english version? If you've used some hacktool to change the system locale to australian or US english, I suggest you undo that hack, they don't work properly. That's probably the reason why it doesn't work.

Starkers lives in Oz, so he won't have used a Hacktool to change his Locale, he'll have set it when he installed Vista, as I did when I set mine to UK English Locale/Keyboard.

I'm waiting to see if the fix today resolves things for us non-US residents Starkers.

I'm sorry, my post was unclear. I wasn't referring to the general localization, but the system language settings. There are tools that hack Vista Home versions to use Ultimate MUI files, those do NOT do what a real Vista Ultimate does. I just wanted to point out that such hacks could cause issues that Stardock really has no obligation to fix. I'm not pointing fingers, just trying to help.

So no word on when those of us who do not live in the centre of the universe called the us, are going to be able to use Bootskin?

Mind you what can you expect when we have been waiting 18mths plus for a fix for an purchased app. that has yet to materialise, why do we even bother giving you our money.

Just to clarify here... my locale is set to Australia, my keyboard is set to US... and no hack, I'm not that clever.  

My boo-boo.... at the time I was thinking 'system' not locale, hence the keyboard setting came up as it is part of the PC/system.  Durrrr!

Anyhow, mickeko, no worries and thanks for the helpful thought.

I submitted a support ticket with Stardock support but I have yet to hear back. In the meantime, has anyone else seen what I have been experiencing with Deskscapes 2.5? Attempting to start *any* dream results in the Display Properties box hanging for a second, and then it goes back to normal with no dream applied. I'm running XP SP3 with a nVidia Quadro FX 570M.

Yes but a second push of the apply button usually does the trick. 512mb Nvidia Quadro FX4500, XP SP3

 

Second item which I haven't seen in all the reports.......

I updated my VISTA SP1 setup for Soundpackager, Theme Manager, Windowblinds & Deskscapes 2.5.

Deskscapes 2.5 still works....at least the one I have already assigned.....when I go into the Personalize > Desktop Background dialog....DESKSCAPES is no longer in the list......the current one only shows as C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData.....so I don't have any way to change to a new dream........

 

edit: uninstall > reboot > reinstall > reboot and DeskScapes is back

I've been getting an issue with DeskScapes on XP SP3 with a GeForce 8500GT & latest drivers. Any dream I apply will work for a while then will freeze and start to ghost whatever was on the screen before. Restarting explorer.exe seems to fix the problem temporarily.

Hi Zargon, I appreciate the attention you've given my issue. Since talking to technical support, I've Reset the data and reloaded,Uninstalled Impulse and reinstalled it, and updated It. and still Impulse won't let me download deskscapes. Is there a workaround where I can get the download without Impulse? I don't know what else to do. Jason
