Here's the latest on this bug... I finally got a support tech to send it up for inspection by the development team. I'm hoping that path gets me somewhere!

For those who are interested, it appears that installing CursorXP over the top of CursorFX was the problem that created most of the Windows Explorer crashes.... that and a small mouse utility called Kat mouse. After uninstalling all traces of both programs, I reinstalled CursorFX, and didn't suffer a single crash for nearly a week, and then the only reason I think I have had any crashes again is because I reinstalled Katmouse agaiin. But with the very infrequent crashes and the immense usefuln
Is there any good reason why the Inspired My Colors themes have to be made up of encrypted components? I can see good reason for that strategy for licensed products, but cannot see it for Inspired themes. I would dearly like to put a few things to together as part of an "improved" or expanded theme for use on my own desktop that are from other themes, but Theme Manager will not allow it. Can you please fix this?
Has nobody had this happen to them?
Would it hurt Stardock if they created a version of My Colors that can be skinned by Windowblinds? I have an XP machine and expect to have it for some time to come because I hate Vista Aero Themes. My Colors is a locked in version of Aero-like theme I can't abide. And it macthes nothing elses on my machine. Could you please make it posible to skin it in XP or Vista? Thanks.
Oh ya! And what's this nVidia icon doiing under the Communties tab? What business does that have being there?
Here are my comments on Impulse build 2.90.166. I'm on dialup. The content updates at startup are slow and even occassionally bring Impulse to a stop. When I first used the Communities Tab, I could not find any of the icons that worked. It wasn't until I left for awhile to take a leak before I found out that one of them really does work! It's just that the downloads are so slow that it's like watching grass grow or a pot to boil.&n
Zubaz... along the same vein, if your subscription runs out before you reenew, do you have to pay the new subscribers price to renew?
My vote goes for the third (wood) option. That wall behind it kind of grabs me. I hope the ened product has something like it.
When my dialup connection went down in the middle of a page load, I got quite the collage of html elements. It would be nice if there were some way to reload the page.
How about Creamware for my 2 point vote and fruitloops for 1 point vote? Any other votes? In any case, I think we need a few more voters on this. Is there some way we could get the Wincustomize people to write up an article to appear on the front page?
What's with this karma number I keep seeing under members avatars?
I have a Dual AMD processor in my machine, and the sp3 install went on without a hitch. I have an Asus motherboard and drivers. Guess they got it right. Haven't noticed any significant changes in the way XP operates, but I have noticed a snappier start menu. Sometimes in closes back up before I have a chance to select an item. I'm going to reset the hover time for a longer period in Tweak UI and see if that helps.
Oh sorry Bebi! I forgot to thank you for your help on this one. That link proved most helpful. Thanks a bunch! :D However, I would still rather not have the rest of the skin sitting on my hard drive taking up valuable space. ;p

Zubaz, 1. Great! Nice to hear that it won't break my piggy bank to re-up. :D 2. But still no idea when our first theme will arrive? :SNIFF!: 3. Not even a hint? :SNIFF!::SNIFF!:
Once the deed is done, does anyone know for sure that he can be contacted to tell him about this honor? Still, I think this is a wonderful idea, even if he never gets to know.
I spoke too soon. Alas, un-installing Katmouse merely reduced the frequency of crashes. Still looking for the answer to this sticky problem.
Questions: 1. I haven't seen anywhere what it will cost to resubscribe to Object Desktop Ultimate. 2. When do we get our first free My Colors theme. I'm assuming that the two giveaways (Quest & Diamond) that come with My Colors aren't included in that category, as it would give the supposed benefits of a subscription to those who have not subscribed. 3. Now that Icon Packager 4 has been released, what are Stardock's plans for their next great 2008 release?
In case anyone is interested, I think I found the source of my Explorer crashes. For some years now, I have been running a small mouse utility called KatMouse. It evidently conflicts with CursorFX (and CursorXP, but less so). Once I un-installed the applet, the crashes ceased.
Never got a response on this one, so I'm going to bump this back to the top. I don't think anyone understood what I was talking about. Here is the problem I am having: [IMG]http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1103/4704943/9806958/313997875.jpg[/IMG] This icon set (and others I have tried) has an icon for the desktop, but it's never applied. Anyone else having a similar experience?
OK. Now the crash problems are back again. I had uninstalled Cursor FX until a new Theme Manager could be relesed, but got impatient and decided that I would reinstall it again. Now I'm having frequent Explorer crashes again as I described at that top of this thread. Has the cause of this problem been isolated yet? Anything being done to correct it? I am running the latest version downloaded from Stardock Central on WinXP. Currently I have the Argos cursor installed, but have had
Frogboy, Once installed by My Colors, will we be able to use Object Desktop to make color and font changes, recombine icon, cursor, object dock, and other packages into a customized version of the theme in Theme Manager?
Points: 1. When do ODNT subs get their first free My Colors Suite? Will we have a choice of skins to choose from, or will we have to take what they'll give us? 2. I would rather prefer a suite without the My colorss app to apply it. Please listen to our pleas on this. When you already have a whole menu of programs to mess with your desktop, My Colors is pointless redundancy. 3. I also agree that the price is a little too hefty. Can't we compromise with somthing
I'm not seeeing the new Theme Manager in either Impulse or Stardock Central, and I have beta option set, too. What gives?
