When I was going to apply the latest update to the WinCustomize Browser, I had a headspace-and-timing error and made it so that the WinCustomize Browser won't show me an update until the next one is available. Where can I now find the latest update?

What do I want in a dream? I could probably tell you most of it, but a lot of the dream would not be "family-friendly."

OK, here's weird one. I'm on Vista Home Premium (32-bit), with an ATI Radeon HD2400 Video Card w/256MB of RAM. The System itself uses an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor. I have 3GB of RAM for the system itself. I use a pair of LCD Screens, one a 19-inch, and the other a 20-inch widescreen. Anyway, I got WB6.01.20 installed and working -- except for the configuration screen, which is mostly black; it shows barely enough to allow me to shoose skins. WB6 does in fact skin the comp
[quote]Download and install the most recent SDC from here . Install it right over your current version. After it installs and you run it, it will upgrade. All should be well at that point.[/quote] Sorry it took a while to get back, but yes! Worked like a charm. Thanks Sir Zubaz!
Here's another interesting twist on this problem. The last time I was able to use SDC, it installed an update to itself without asking whether or not I wanted an update; it downloaded and installed the update immediately upon opening SDC. And that's the last time I could open it, regardless of whether I used my ObjectDock shortcut, the one on the Start Menu, or going to the Stardock folder itself and trying to load it directly. Each time, it asks me to use "loader.exe." There is no s
I have been having that problem since I updated yesterday. It seems to happen every time I try to scroll through any drop-down list in Sound Packager quickly (by clicking just above the down arrow in the drop-down box or rapidly clicking on the down arrow itself), instead of slowly and carefully.
I do have UAC turned off; while I [I]can [/I]turn on CursorXP, my problem is that within about 10 minutes or so of turning it on, the cursor gets jumpy. I'll try move the cursor, and it will take a little to actually catch up with with my request (sometimes as long as a full second). Once that behavior starts, it doesn't stop until I disable CursorXP, restart Vista, then turn CursorXP back on. "Regular" cursors don't do that. I may not have a computer with the highest specs in the wo
Any workarounds?
I updated my video adapter from an ATI Radeon 7000 AGP 64MB card to an ATI Xtasy AGP 128 MB (made by VisionTek). Since then, the cursor (whether a Windows Default or CursorXP) disappears under some parts of programs (such as Object Dock, some context menus, some right-click menus, etc.). I can still in some cases see the sursor well enough to tell where it is, and in others the area where it is changes color (depending upon the skin I'm using). I have updated my drivers, the
Is there any way to create a shortcut (on my desktop or toolbar, for example) that goes straight to Package Builder without having to start Icon Packager first?
OK, fine, but something that also needs to be fixed a bit is Icon Packager -- particularly its annoying tendencies to not change some icons, the lack of the ability to add new Control Panel icons to Package Builder, and the screwy tendency for Package Builder to scramble the icons when you are building a package but have to save it when it is partially-built for whatever reason.
Here's something that works -- I discovered it accidentally. Unzip the .ip into the same directory, then delete the original .ip file. (Or, like I do, zip it with WinRAR or the zipping program of your choice just in case things don't work right.) This has fixed the problem with every icon set I have -- with the exception of the frickin' PDF icon, which is something I still can't figure out...
Just open iconpackager, go to icons and cursors, then files, then scroll down and fine the problem icons and you can change them to the appropriate icon. I consistently have the problem with .pdf's, but it's easy enough to make the change. Well, yes, and I usually do, but I shouldn't have to. In addi
There are four icon types with which I tend to have a lot of problems (in order): ZIP, PDF, TIF and RAR. The problem I have with these is that even if a package author has included icons for these types of files, about half the time those file type icons still don't skin on my computer (ZIP and TIF tend to display the package author's default icon, while PDF and RAR files tend to display the default icons for those two programs). Rebuild Icon Cache,
Thanks! I think I'll try the Registry edit; it's simpler and I'm not a newbie to Registry edits. Oh, and BTW, I apologize for the accidental double post.
CursorXP was actually the first part of Object Desktop I bought, about 2 years ago or so. I now have one subdirectory in Program Files with almost all of my Object Desktop stuff -- and another for Cursor XP. If I move the CursorXP directory to the Object Desktop Folder, will it hurt anything? Or perhaps should I reinstall CursorXP, placing it in the Object Desktop subdirectory?
The answer to this is probably very simple, but I can't find it. How does one add new file types and program types to Icon Packager?
Since I installed v.3.1, the Preview area no longer gives a count of icons in the package anymore. Is this just a problem with my Icon Package installation, or is anyone else having this problem? If so, is there a resolution to that problem (short of reinstalling)?
It seems a lot of people are having problems with WB5. I'm thinking it might be best to wait a while before I upgrade to give Stardock time to get more of these problems ironed out. Is there anyone having good experiences with WB5? Or are there more bad experiences than good ones?
And DO NOT delete them from explorer...or you'll have lots of fun, like I did last night (on accident of course). What sort of fun do you end up having? I do that all the time, without problems.
OK, I have what looks like a fix (at least it worked for me, anyway). First of all (do this first!) go to the downloads section of Microsoft's site and download the Windows Scripting Engine. Save it to somewhere you can find it. Then uninstall hotfix KB896688 (go into Add/Remove Programs, make sure the "Show Updates" checkbox is checked). This may temporarily disable your internet connection (it did for mine), which is why you want to download the W
Yeah, the damn patches have locked me out of my bank's web site, my credit cards site, Windows Update, and System Restore. I even uninstalled them, one at a time, but the damage is apparently already done. I can't even email Microsoft for help, because their little applet for email support does not work -- again, because of their buggy patches! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" bor
