Stardock Central Loging

Go to Tools > Edit Stardock.Net Account > and enter the email address and password you would use to log on to the regular Galciv forums. If it is the proper login/pass sometimes you just need to retype the pass and it will work after that. Hope this helps

I think the problem was that I had an old version, now I have the latest, but the new problem I have is with the forum. When using sdcentral discussion only 4 threads show up unlike when I go to the galciv website where all the threads are there and up to date. Any suggestions?

About the post above, for some reason the Wincustomize discussion forum updates fine, so why not the GalCiv forum?

I'm getting the same error message as Ancient Warrior. It might be a version problem. What's the latest version of Stardock Central?

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem, I believe, as Ancient Warrior is now. I can't get SDC to show new threads in the GalCiv forums. Basically, when I first installed it, it grabbed all the current threads. And when I Check For Updates or Refresh, it will refresh posts that have been added to those initial threads. But it won't show me new threads that are posted (with the exception that when I created a new thread using SDC, I saw that).

I tried totally uninstalling SDC and cleaning out its registry entries and then reinstalling it. When I reinstalled, it grabbed all the threads that were current then (and so I thought it had been fixed), but once again it's not seeing any new threads. Now, as posts have dropped off (I guess) on all the initial threads it grabbed, I only have 3 threads left that it can see.

I'm really hoping this won't affect my ability to download GalCiv early Wednesday morning....I know I was able to download one of the little Freeware programs just fine after I first installed it, so I'm hoping. Regardless, it's pretty weird and I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one affected, at least.

Hopefully you guys can figure this one out, though.

Reset List on the discussion tab should wipe out the damaged forum entries and redownload them. This may also be necessary when new forums are added (that, in fact, seems to be what happened here: adding the GC Strategies forum stopped the GalCiv Forum from updating).

Sweet! That did the trick. Thank you very much, Arturus!

As the first post I get the same message. I purchased Drengin and Object desktop and the registration info shows up fine under Edit Accounts. I just seem to not being able to update through SDC. Drengin manager and Object Desktop Component Manager work fine for updates. The suggestion Edit Stardock.net account is no option because it doesn't show up at all under Tools > Edit Accounts.
Any suggestions?

Your version is too old and its not auto-updating (there was a bug). Install http://storage.stardock.com/files/stardockcentral098a.exe on top of it and you should have the Stardock.net logon option.

Nakor's post left out some essential information. The level of SDC that had the bug in the self-updating code was around 0.92. The link he provided is for level 0.98. Download from his link and run it and the self-updating problem will be corrected.

Be sure to verify what level of SDC you have. If your level is not at least 0.98b.136 then you are back level.

To find your version click on "Help" on the top menu bar, then click on, "About Stardock Central". The dialog that pops up will tell you the version you have.

THANK YOU, GUYS, THOSE THREE SUGGESTIONS WERE GREAT and it works fine now. It seems I DL version 0.90 because that pops up when I start the Drengin Game manager under NEWS. If you DL that version you get the problems I experienced. Sorry that my question popped up under Galciv, but there was a post already concerning this problem. Your help once again proves the greatness of the galciv community. Only a couple of days more and I will need to find an excuse for my pailness caused by only playing Galciv days and days and not seeing the sun anymore Charles.
