A rap across the knuckles? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I haven't had much use from my Stardock products recently as I've been reorganising my puter after intalling a new HD and losing everything from my previous drive. Today, however, I decided to make some desktop changes and create a suite with various skins I'd downloaded, but alas. To my horror I discovered that my backup files were not complete and I had no cursors, icons, desktopx themes or object dock items to place in the relevant progs. Oh woe,

greed religion and desire for supremacy are most often the causes of war. A better distribution of world resources would help alleviate the occurrence of war and international aggression - and for those who still want to beat their chests to display macho-ness, give 'em a stick instead of a gun as up close and personal violence deflates their bravado somewhat. Also, if the politicians and zealots had to take up arms in the front line, world peac

Tasmania - a little island at the bottom of Australia. Some mainlanders call it the arse end of the country, but that's just not true. When I'm not at my puter and Wincustomize, oblivious to my surroundings, I like it here alot. So Lantec, how do you get so much percentage out of life and will you share the secret with the rest of us? Would be handy for us W.C. addicts who need to get out somtimes. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/sm

DREAD is the key word here - and this monstrosity should be dreaded, from both ends of the barrel. Obviously this was designed to inflict as much damage as possible in the shortest time, and when the greatest damage is to human life, dread should be paramount to the user as well as to those looking down its barrel. Just ask anyone with a conscience how it feels to take a life, and the honest answer is bloody awful. There is no glory in it, and certa

If only? If firearms were only ever used to act purely in self defence, an angered shot would never be fired. Sadly, most shots are fired in aggression, to inflict rather than defend. I hate guns

Reply to Theme Manager free, weirdness in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You're right DZ, I had that problem after downloading the Alienware version, so uninstalled it and reverted back to the 2.20 from Stardock. However, whilst it works o.k now, the original install wouldn't download or apply suites. Maybe the problem lies in the data transfer and "hang-time" etc, as my second attempt went smoothly and theme manager now performs all functions.

A mate recently gave me a 160 gig HD to help with the extra storage space required by my step-daughter for her schooling - great, no problems, or so I thought. Got the new HD installed and loaded with Windows XP Pro with little problem. Migrated everything from the old drive, no problem and everything seemed honky dory. However, wiping and removing the old 40 gig drive proved to be my biggest PC mistake. Once I had done this, none of the pa

Don't you just hate it - you hear a "must have" on radio or TV and miss hearing the artists name and song title. Music store attendants were not at all impressed when trying to give some clue as to what I'm after - can't hum in tune, let alone sing. " Please sir, leave the store or I'll call the police." Anyhow, just got Savoy Brown: " Getting To The P

My business wasn't with an online merchant but a reputable department store, and my only online activity as to register my product to access driver upgrades and software update, etc. As always, I opted out of all promotional offers, and still got product information from elsewhere. It makes you wonder if online registration is worth it, hey! Traversing the www can be like playing hopscotch in a minefield <img src="http://images.stardock.com
