I couldn't get the toolbar to uninstall by clicking on the "Y" button and clicking uninstall, so I had to remove it manually This is where my concern lies. Uninstalling manually may or may not have created an issue with IE. If you want to try things other than a repair, you might try the following basic first steps for tro
Did you hide your icons via "Right-click desktop > Arrange Icon By > deselect "Show Desktop Icons"? If so, just reselect the "Show Desktop Icons". The other easy fix is to install TweakUI from this page (about halfway down the right side of page) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx After installing, start TweakUI > select "Desktop" > pla
Note - if you decide to do a repair as indicated above, I would recommend uninstalling Windows XP Service Pack 2 before attempting a repair which is described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875350/en-us The reason being that with SP2 installed, the repair procedure may throw a message saying something like "Set-up has detected a newer version of Windows installed", which may prevent it from completing (or even beginning)
Unless anyone has a better idea, you can do a repair (reinstall) of Windows XP as instructed here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315341/ I would recommend Method #2, but either will do. Beware that Microsoft indicates that it is possible for some data loss and/or loss of some program settings when performing this. You can read more by using the links at the bottom of the page to prepare before performing the repair. <img s
Click the "Apply" button in the screenshot and then reboot your machine. If the silver default "Windows XP" is not applied when you restart, open the Display Properties again > click the "Themes" tab > select "Windows XP" in the drop-down list (if already selected, just open the drop-down and click on Windows XP to invoke the "Apply" button) > click "Apply". If all is well, you will be looking at the default Windows XP "Blue Luna" shell theme. Simply click the "Appear
I must have missed something while away for a while, but I no longer have a "Insert Image" button available in the comment section. In fact, it looks like I have been demoted to normal subscriber, with no moderator buttons in any comment sections.
Has there been any improvements in WB 5 handling older WB 4 skins? I should report that the new Painter 9.5 (Corel) is showing a minor issue when resizing the main workspace window when running WB 4 skins under WB 5 (tested with StealthOS using both the original and alpha versions, and verified WB 4 skin reproduction with Mini OS). This may be an issue in Painter 9.5 to some degree where the right side of the workspace has a thin tan/white line inside of the "Luna" blue shell
If #9 fails, here is the download page for Windows Script 5.6 for XP and 2000 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en Your script engine may have become corrupted somehow. This is the current script used by IE 6 under XP and 2000, so is safe to install. <img src="http://images3.stardock.c
Okay, Have you gone into Internet Options and reset the following: 1 - Programs tab > Reset Web setting button > Yes to confirm 2 - Advanced tab > Restore Defaults button > Apply Also, you may try looking in the "Programs tab > Manage Add-ons button > disable any listings for the Yahoo toolbar shown.
Tried that, it didn't work. Next basic question: How about System Restore to before installing the optimizer update?
Happy B-Day, Fairyy!
What happens if you use "Start > All Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults > Select the "Microsoft Windows" radio button > click "OK" > attempt using IE? If this works, then you can obviously go back into the "Set Program Access and Defaults" and use the "Custom" category to modify any settings for your system.
Stardock> desktop> desktop X Something is definitely wrong there. It should install (by default) to: "C:\Program Files\Stardock" folder, so the program folder address would be - "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock". If you decide to mess with it later, uninstall > reboot > clear the cache > delete all "
SO, if you have a laptop with say an IDE hardrive and you buy an OEM, do you need cables to attach it or can you use what is already in place? Remember to remove the "Jumper/Adapter" from the back of the old drive, and connect it to the new drive pins (paying attention to how it is connected on the old drive pins). It should be easy to identif
You can do one at a time, the same as with OD free. If you click my name, you will see a bunch of mini tutorials I did for Stardock products, which includes a few for working with ObjectDock Plus. This one shows how to work with the ObjectDock file structures, and where to install the files for your themes. http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82930 <img src="h
Make sure to save any dock files you want to use for themes in "Plus" version > unload and uninstall the free version > reboot > clear the cache folder (instructions here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?AID=82461 ) > install OD+ > set up your new theme.
WHich format...FAT32 or NTFS? Suggest using NTFS if available, due to the cluster size being smaller, and therefore the operations on the disk will be more efficient. Should I install SP3 and SP4? </TABL
Did I miss the release announcement?
Mormegil (Paul), I am sure the final product will be well worth the wait. Outside of the missing "Network Connections" folder icon in the main Apogee folder, I see no major issues. Perhaps if the Vista compressed icon format is creating an issue, you might release just XP formats, and update to Vista for the official release of that OS (if that is what the hold up is). Again, love the work. <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 ALIG

First, start Stardock Central > use the "Tools \ Register Products" > enter your Object Desktop serial number (if not already entered for you) > click the "Update" button. This will allow you to download the full version of WB5 if, as Snidley indicated, you are current. Note - make sure that the "Work Offline" under the File menu is not selected, otherwise you won't see anything but installed full versions and shareware versions offered for the paid products.</
This is just a polite request for an update on any information on what the future for Apogee may be. I reported one small issue I noticed in my package, where the "Network Connections" folder icon is missing from the main "Apogee" folder, and the "Administrative Tools" folder icon is being applied instead. The preview image on the Stardock site (when clicked on to see the larger view, has the "Network Connections" folder shown, so it should be there). It&nb
Tried to post last night to no avail....... Perhaps a dumb question, but have you tried uninstalling via device manager and rebooting to allow XP to reload the drivers? Failing that, you might see if uninstalling/reinstalling the Roxio program will work, if you have either a disc or a restore partition that allows reinstallation of the prepackaged software. <img src="http://images3.star
I do not think it is available as a stand alone program on CD, only as part of Object Desktop. Your best bet, and what I do, is to install WB4 (after uninstalling WB5 of course) and create an archive in Stardock Central. You can then burn the archive (which is a ".zip" file found in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\BACKUP" folder) to disc. This archive can then be manually placed back in the same folder later, and you can restore the archive via "File > Restore Archive"
