Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Technical FAQ in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Bolshak: have you tried clicking the blue menu button on the top left from within Impulse, going to Preferences, then the Folders section. From there, enable the option "Prompt for install directory" and change the archive and temporary file location to a drive you know has enough space. Mike

Also, what kind of dream(s) are you running? Keep in mind using a video dream (that has to decode on the fly) will sometimes utilize more CPU if your videocard is incapable of handling the processing itself. Mike

Reply to Cursor FX problem in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Would you be able to possibly post a screenshot of the problem? (you can use an imagehosting site to get URL and then use the insert/edit image button here). Have you tried uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling to see if that helped? Which OS are you running this on? Mike

Reply to Download bigger than expected?? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Wizard1956 : What if you uninstalled DeskScapes and then reinstalled from scratch? This would have a different approach because in incremental versions of a given app/game, only the files that changed are downloaded. It's more likely for a full redownload to go successfully. Mike

[quote]But Office XP will work on Windows 7, you shouldn't be punished for upgrading your operating system.[/quote] No one is being punished for keeping an older app on an older OS, rather rewarded for upgrading to a newer version of the app for use on the newer OS. If all the newer major versions of Object Desktop applications offered were compatibility with the newer OS, Stardock would not be in business long. [quote]new Object Desktop package.

Reply to Fences Pro - Dragging to fence when filters on in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

We've had a feature request submitted that allows you to change the ordering of rules. With such a feature you should be allowed to drag your exe file into another fence, but at the moment, you unfortunately cannot. The enhancement software is available under "My Software", whereas games are available under "My Games." Is there anything in particular you're not seeing? To see Fences Pro, you will need to enable "Show Pre-release versions" from the blue menu in the top left of

Reply to Oh mighty JU computer pros, please help me in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Are you not getting any beeping at all from the onboard speaker? It should have a "no video" beep code. I am inclined to think there might be some kind of power issue and/or an issue with the mb. If you have everything plugged in and connected properly, there's really no reason why it shouldn't work. I have had a similar problem when I attempted using one of those crappy off-brand PSUs some years ago. Threw in another one, and it was fine. Mike

Reply to Wallpaper Won't Change on Windows 7 in MyColors Stardock Forums

I don't believe MyColors will apply wallpapers on Win7 Starter Edition because the ability to change the wallpaper has been deliberately removed by Microsoft in order to make this version more affordable. If you are able to change the wallpapers using MyColors, more power to you, but to my knowledge, this will not work. Mike

Reply to tabbed dock and dock in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

To set up running tasks: Task grouping is when it has a number at the bottom left of an icon on the dock and indicates there is more than one instance of that task open. This feature does not give you additional control over sorting out an arbitrary number of instances of a task... they are all just filed under the same icon. To give a folder shortcut

Reply to No Internet on upgraded PC in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Although Zubaz's suggestion regarding Impulse Anywhere is your best bet, have you tried right clicking on an app within Impulse and choosing download and archive to see if that was able to go through successfully? Regarding your lack of internet, would you be even unable to use something like a MiFi for internet? http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=products_mifi It's certainly not stellar speed, but it provides internet connectivity, which can sometimes be
