Same here on Windowx XP Pro, have Plus!, SP1 and DesktopX and it runs without a hitch.

microsoft plus is a series of small programs, not something that runs continuously. i don't see how it could cause a conflict unless you had a problem with one thing in particular.

One hopes you actually installed the proggy, not simply copied the folders across....

I believe if you still have the original account info and serial when you first bought it...you can just download it again from stardock

To be honest i dont. i do have the software from online but dont have a serial...whats that serial thingy..my old pc didnt need it. my brother gave me the pc with all that in the pc. is the serial like the upc barcode or something??

The serial is something that stardock sends you when you buy the program. Ask your brother for it. If not then you are stuck because you have to install it for it work right.

no...have you tried contacting stardock, explaining your situation and giving them the original purchasing details?

https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/downloads.asp There is also a trial version that has most of the features of the Enhanced version except the following:

* Enhanced IconX configuration
* Run Premium objects and themes
* Export objects as widgets

cant i use someone elses serial


Asking for a serial no will get you exiled.

If you own DX you can get the serial no by entering your e-mail here https://www.stardock.com/support.asp

I wonder how many people still think copying a folder installs a program of this caliber and deleting the folder uninstalls it. I have known people that 'uninstalled' Norton by deleting the folder. Ever tried to re-install it then or upgrade to a newer version (not speaking of the neat messages when starting windows...) ?

However, Jalwaak I think if You want to use DesktopX, You will have to buy it and install it the right way.

c242 - possibly prior Mac users would have an excuse for thinking such heresy about how easy it might be to install/remove something? On the other hand, I've even known people just copy the desktop shortcut and wonder why their progam doesn't work on the new machine

Had that with a friend and a game. It fitted a nice handy diskette (NFS 3).

copying a folder installs a program of this caliber and deleting the folder uninstalls it.

I have a number of proggies that I do just that with....and it works just fine....[assuming you know what you are doing].

Main one is ZtreeWin.....a 32bit revision/improvement to XtreeGold....and one heck of a handy proggy, too....
