Reply to DWM failure with WB ..... Resolved in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

well, it seems WB can't be installed onto any drive other than the system drive after all. i wanted to install it on a secondary platter drive instead of my SSD. yrag suggested installing it on the SSD and DWM is enabled as it should be. why oh why can we not install WB and its skins on a secondary drive? please, neil :) it would make a great Christmas gift. anyway, i want to express my gratitude to all who made suggestions. they were greatly appreciated. now, where&#3

DWM failure with WB ..... Resolved in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Here we go again, folks. Any help you may provide will be greatly appreciated. As I stated in another thread, I installed a larger capacity SSD over the weekend and instead of cloning the 120 over to the new one, i did a fresh install of Windows 7 and all my apps. I'm having a problem with WB that I was having with it before and it's quite aggravating. On a cold boot or a restart, DWM is disabled.....every time! I can either use Tweak 7 or open WB Config and hit the "APPLY" button to

Invalid Product? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I finally got around to installing a larger SSD this morning and instead of cloning the old 120 to the new one, i elected to do a fresh install of Winders and all my apps. Well, it seems most things installed just fine but when it comes to installing and using my premium skins form the Stardock Store, i get an INVALID PRODUCT error when entering my email addy and the 'serial number' to activate the skin. This applies to Windowblinds skins, since I have yet to get to the Dreams and IP

Reply to Game forum threads ??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

ok, paul, you're right. it isn't the first time. maybe it's the third. anyway, when one wants to peruse the 'recent posts' area, he/she is rewarded with posts originating from areas other than the wincustomize forum. maybe they aren't 'gaming related' but are instead 'miscellaneous' (wait a sec. i have to go check the spelling on that) but hey sure as heck aren't related to anything here on wc. granted, threads about what one had for lunch yesterday

paul (jafo), this is the first time i've disagreed with you. there is no reason nor excuse for threads about gaming to be here on wc. this is a skinning site, not a gaming site.i know i'm tired of having to sort through the threads to find ones related to skinning. yes, some skinners are also gamers. let those folks post on the individual sites.

why an HX1000? why not? i have one. i also have an HX 850 sitting on the shelf. i know what an hx1000 will run. i'm not a fool. as someone posted earlier, that amd proc has been a disappointment. get the intel. i have the 2600K but there's nothing wring with the 2500K. i sell quite a few rigs that use the 2500K. i prefer the Corsair Vengeance memory but there's nothing wrong with G-Skill. i think Corsair customer service is better than G-Skill's but others may feel jus

quick thoughts: scrap that power supply and get something more stable, maybe a corsair hx750, hx850, or hx1000. an asus or gigabyte mobo would be better and less expensive. the asus p8z68-v is quite good. look at the corsair vengeance or g-skill ripjaw memory. they're only 9 or 10 bucks more. about that cpu, why get the 2600 instead of the 2600K? spend the extra 20 and get the good stuff.
