Jason, I suggest trying to work with Neil on this one, he is a WB developer and would be your best bet to sort it. For my part, I would probably try running a single monitor set-up for a day with WB installed and applied to see if it has anything to do with the dual monitor set-up (and associated drivers).

With serial number you mean the OD one? This would be the one to use (Object Desktop serial number) - assuming this is the one currently in use, which would be the one associated with any archives you make now or in the future. If you go to the Stardo

Activation should not be an issue as long as one of the two following conditions are met: 1 - You have an active online connection and your account has not reached the maximum activations, at which point you would simply contact Stardock and request they reset your activation account. 2 - You contact Stardock support via e-mail and inform them that you need to activate a product without an active internet connection, and provide them with the product serial number and e-mail a

Disregard anything I say....sorry.
A warning message may be in order for Stardock products. WindowBlinds free standing has a warning of sorts where the installer presents a text message, and an 'unload WindowBlinds' button during install process. Adobe tells you to unload any open Adobe products to avoid the need to reboot. This may be a good direction for all software companies to go. The old school approach (
Recommend you reinstall WB and use system restore to attempt sorting. Failing that, try uninstalling all graphics drivers listed in "Add or Remove Programs" > open Device Manager > right-click the video adapter listing > uninstall > reboot > wait for Windows to install the default "vanilla" drivers and see if your system is still displaying corrupt graphics. If graphics are not corrupted, proceed to installing the proper drivers for your system/graphics adapter. <img src="http
No recommendations for a 600 Watt, but here is a good Antec 550 Watt (SLI Ready, and a single 120 mm fan for minimal noise) http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22552 I swear by Antec power supplies, and the one here has user controllable outputs. They also make two other 550 Watt models in the same TruePower 2.0 series, one with standard dual fans, and the other with the single 120 mm fan and n

Sure are a lot of them out there. Nice resource for those people looking! I will be waiting for the real thing, though I have previously used Kol's WB skin on and off (which was nicely done before it was pulled by request from MS).
Here is a mini tutorial I wrote for working with the ObjectDock file structure, including the proper placement of files http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82930 I also wrote a few mini tutorials for ObjectDock Plus. You can find those links on my page by clicking my name.

It is doubtful that either WindowBlinds or IconPackager is making your system slow, unless perhaps you have an older graphics card, or on-board graphics adapter and are running a WB skin that has a lot of transparency and/or animations in the skin. CursorXP may slow the system down slightly if the cursors have a lot of animation. The easiest way to determine whether or not Stardock software is making your system slower than it would be otherwise, is to simpy restore the d

Well, the articles are a bit confusing with all the naming of technologies, but here is a bite on some Intel 64-bit plans http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/03/17/intel_plots_4mb_l2_64bit/ A bit dated (March 2006).
Oops, here is the article I read http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6047044.html
Intel is currently working on the "Conroe" chip family and they have successfully put "quad-core" on the die. There will be a desktop chip, notebook chip, and a server chip. These are due out 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2007, and all have some level of advanced power management incorporated into the chip (similar to the Pentium "M" technology). We should see more documentation on this family (probably around Vista release, or so). <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink
I believe there is a "Optimization" step in the building of a Microsoft (or any good software) product, which focuses on providing the best support base for consumers and company alike. It is still quite early to make any concrete statements on what current mainstream machines will and will not run Vista with full functionality.
Note - I forgot to say "Hit Enter" after typing " regsvr32.exe hal.dll " in #3 above.
dj, Your boot.ini looks ok. Mine is similar, but slightly different: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect My guess would be that something got messed up on the 80 GB drive that you use to hold important files - probably happened when Vista interacted with the drive. It may be tha
If you can get to the run command line either in normal startup mode, or safe mode, you can perform a clean boot and add processes until you narrow down the issue.

If you saved your theme, you can simply stop the "ObjectDock.exe" process, and then clear the cache (tutorial here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?AID=82461 ). Note - you will delete the "ObjectDockPlus" folder found in the Stardock cache folder. Restart ObjectDock Plus (which will load with the default settings), and then use the ObjectDock settings (configuration panel) to load the saved theme from the
Master678, Let's start with which program you installed, and what procedures you used to uninstall. One of my first questions would be: "Did you restore the Windows XP default "Luna" theme previous to uninstalling"?
