Thanks for the replies !! So, if I put 5536 on my pc do i just unload all OD progs ... and this will return me to the plain windows xp ? I intend to dual boot with vista on my slave hd.. and xp on the master .. Mike
HI guys and gals !! I was just wondering ~ Is the new vista 5536 build fully compatable with the OBJECT DESKTOP apps.... i.e. Cursor xp, iconpackager , windowblinds , winFX etc.. ~ and, should I install vista would I expect to have any issues with it ? Mike &nbs
Thanks for the concern cl!! I appreciate it - I really do !! Mike
@ Corky O : Many thanks for the info,mate !! I have run off a hard copy of your tutorial, just to make sure that I don't mess things up !! Thanks once again !! Mike
HI GUYS and Gals !! First of all , I want to say that the New-Look Forums are Great !! ~ Very Shortly, I will be doing a complete PC makeover : I am going to do Reformat/Reinstall of XP,and I would like a couple of hints/suggestions on painlessly reinstalling all of my Object Desktop..I use the Full, and Paid for , Object Desktop ,and I have a LOT of skins and themes, Cursor Xp and IconPackager which I would really not like to lose.... So what is
OK...! Thanks for that,mate ! Much Obliged !! Oh well, as Paganini said " Its time for a bit of fiddling ! "
Thanks for the info,guys ! It is very much appreciated !! I would like to keep my options open , therefore, at this point I have just one more question : I really like IE7b3 ( am I the only one?) ~~ can I run Firefox and IE7 at the same time, so that I do have an onscreen choice when I boot up,etc ?
HI THERE, Everyone ! I am considering installing Firefox soon, but I am a bit wary....what I would like to know is ~ I have the Full Object Desktop and Windowblinds , and I also use Desktop Sidebar and IE7b3 ... If I install FF would I expect a lot of incompatability issues or would it install painlessly ; The reason I ask this is that I have spent almost a year getting my PC running nicely and I really would not like to go thru' the agonies of a comple
OOOOOO .... WEEEEEEE ......OOOOOOO ! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Congrats.gif
wow . . . I can't wait for this !! Is there a date set, yet ? ? I do hope, to echo Citizen nctarheel's comment about the Vista Compatability issues,that this will be addressed . . Oh... Btw . . Brad - you need to edit the title of the thread,mate .."OBJECT DEKSTOP ?" (Probably easily done in all the excitement.. hehehe) M
HI there guys! Is it possible to uninstall completely then reinstall Object Dock ? If so , can someone point me in the right direction - I have made a right mess with my themes and icons and would like to start again from new,If possible . . Thanks, Mike
As a fairly new to pc modder and skinner , all I can add to this is that as far as I am concerned " you pay your money-you take your chance" , and as far as the DESKTOP SIDEBAR is concerned , MS themselves are using it as the Official Benchmark for their Vista Sidebar .. and you cannot get a better reference then that . . . Loads of panels,loads of skins,and lots of style - and yes, Lots of clocks - if you want them - and a really good community in the
Hello Everybody ! Just a quickie . . I am thinking about putting FIREFOX 1.5 on my PC, and i am a little worried about whether there would be any program conflicts between my Object Desktop (full version), Windowblinds,and Object Dock and CursorXp- - - I also use DESKTOP SIDEBAR . . I do not want to be editing registries and other fiddly bits within my pc . . and also will it be a clean uninstall thru'ADD/REMOVE if I do not w
I ONLY run Desktop Sidebar - nothing else . . as for the graphic card not being seated , i will have to get back to you , as I am disabled, I have to get my PC doc in to check this out , also the power supply . . BTW I have been using Desktop Sidebar long before I installed Object Desktop and never had any probs. . Neil . .thanks for your reply- Night Train and yraq thanx, too . .now 5 am uk time so logging off for now . . I will get back to you
... I await your solutions with an ever-increasing baited breath . . as I am now losing confidence with Object Desktop - I really like this prog , but I am beginning to feel that the whole programme is being sold as TAINTED GOODS - and I'm sure that it isn't - Wakey wakey ! I'm sort of getting desperate for a cure.... ! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/

sorry guys about the font but it was the only way to get attention ! Sincere apologies to all.

HELLO ! Just a couple of things to keep us all awake !

Hello . ! Being a Stardock 'newbie', my first impressions of the Stardock Object Desktop were quite surprising . . I've only had it for a few days and now I am changing all my desktop . .On an hourly basis! I know nothing about the actual designing of these things . . but I can't wait to get started...Once I've plucked up the courage ! ! ! So . . just a couple of queries . . .hopefully not too difficult for the "Wizz-kids" among you .
