Reply to Last Week's Poll : Vista Impressions in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well, none of the poll options gives my own take, so : I will buy it, but not until the software I use (regularly) positively requires it, which is precisely what I did with XP, although XP's (compared to 98SE) robustness and reliability shortened that timescale somewhat. Like others have said, there ain't much wrong with XP for me, so, if it ain't bust... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

I just read this in the bottom info-pane of SDC while downloading WB... WindowBlinds is the first utility of its kind. It extends Windows XP to have a fully skinnable user including the taskbar and explorer shellstyles. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.gif" border

Yeehah! Finally - it works... Thanks kepinel, and whoever in tech-support compiled that exe, and to all others who offered suggestions. ...and it looks like my latest uninstall/reinstall solved the black menus problem. So far.

Sigh... I'm really getting to the end of my tether now. I received an email on Tuesday from TravisG (tech support), suggesting I uninstall and reinstall everything, and verify everything by using odnt_zapper, which he gave me a link for. I did this, and after ensuring there was nothing left, I reinstalled SDC, DX, WB, IP, and TM, rebooted and tried to load one of the troublesome DX themes. Same problem, only now I seem to have inherited the "black menu

Or....possibly, if every 'shop' did likewise the hint might just sink in that it's not too clever to seek assistance for something which was self-inflicted through user stupidity and the intent to steal. Absolutely, and our own approach is to spend a bit of time to inform the (usually) unwitting user

Mate, if you really are naive enough to think that the majority of computer users, especially since the advent of broadband internet, have never used any form of pirated software, you need to open your eyes. ...and btw, you were the one making assumptions based on no factual evidence, about an individual; me. I made a comment, directed at no-one in particular, that the majority do in fact have some form of pirated softwa

...or the majority of computer owners are thieves. That's exactly what I'm saying, never mind "implying". I've worked in computer build/repair shops for over 10 years, and owned my own shop for nearly three years now, and the only people who have a legitimate copy of Windows are those who bought their

...perhaps they should make the missing files available to registered users Indeed. That would be the logical thing to do, although I'm amazed it's never yet been offered, as this problem is obviously not just a recent issue. I emailed support four days ago, but no response yet... I'll wait

Same here, no problems. Using FF 1.5.0.3. Not using the Bookmarks toolbar. Using the Nautipolis theme. If Zubas's tip doesn't help, try updating everything; FF, extensions and themes.

I agree, but what baffles me is why I don't even have any of the three files in question on my hard disk, when I have the full version(s) of the following installed? : Window Blinds 5.01.006 Icon Packager 3.10.103 Theme Manager 2.24.040 DesktopX 3.10.042 Desktop Gadgets 1.00.004 Stardock Central 2.33.402 (build 130) As far as I can tell, the three files come with, or as part of, either DesktopX or Stardock

Well, this is most odd... I've read numerous reports of this very same problem, by many different people, but there seems to be several ways to fix it, none of which fixes mine... The three files most people refer to as being possible culprits; mcpcore.dll, MCPStub.dll, and sdmcp.exe, are all conspicuous by their absence from my system, so how can I replace what isn't e

No joy... I uninstalled SDC, and reinstalled after disabling the anti-virus, but it still happens. Is there any way of contacting someone in the dev team? Is there even a search engine for these forums? This seems like a helluva clunky way to trouble-shoot what should be a fairly minor issue... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Posted via WinCustomize Browser/Stardock C
