Reply to [MOD] Distant Stars - Rebellion Alpha 0.13 Released! [17/06/13] in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Heya, adore the mod. Can I ask which versions of the various GFX improvement submods are integrated into DS? Browsing some screens from the currently working version of Bailknight's in particular look a bit more impressive than what I'm seeing in game. I run the mod on High/Highest after patching the exe for LargeAddressAware and while everything is lovely some of the screenshots I've seen are positively stunning.

Potential fix for Out of memory Minidumps in Technical Sins Forums

As many people are aware, Sins and its various expansions have a nasty habit of minidumping once total memory usage exceeds 2GiB, which happens frequently with various combinations of mods and high detail graphics settings. Someone at techpowerup (FordGT90Concept) created a utility to patch executable files to make them largeaddressaware (which is to say able to address more than 2GiB of memory) and a seperate forum post there indicates some success with Sins in particular. I haven't

False alarm - Tech Support tell me the activation servers had a glitch this morning, tried again and it's working fine now.

Windows Blinds 5.51 Activation Error in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hi hi, My computer's been fairly unstable lately, so I've been reinstalling my OS fairly frequently (playing with Vista until I discovered Creative's drivers are atrocious at the mo) but when I tried to reinstall WB, I get an activation error. It was working perfectly when I tried it last week. I logged into my Stardock account and noticed that the serial number there is actually a little different from the one I have noted from the original purchase e-mail, but neither of them appear to w

Reply to XP64, WB 5.01.006 - No Explorer (taskbar, desktop icons) in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Nothing special appeared in SDC, but then I'm not using it this time. So far, everything's working fine. Wonder what the problem with the newer version could be.

The only thing that seems different is Wbload.exe, but the difference is remarkable. It just works now, I don't know how else to put it.

Reply to XP64, WB 5.01.006 - No Explorer (taskbar, desktop icons) in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Okay - I'm fairly certain the problem was with the new version of WB5 I downloaded through SDC. Windows was reinstalled and exactly the same problem occurred when I installed WB through SDC. Booted up in safemode and installed the version I downloaded when I bought it and the whole system works just fine. Utterly baffled as to why the new version breaks my computer, but something to watch out for. Here's the new System Info, WindowBlinds 5.0

Reply to XP64, WB 5.01.006 - No Explorer (taskbar, desktop icons) in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Argh, Hi and thanks for your help. I'm afraid the event log is gone - the offending PC is having XP64 reinstalled (sans all hotfixes). It occurred to me that it worked fine before I installed the 'Cumulative Security Update, 14th April,' and while I'm not sure how that could break WB I'm hopeful that it will work. If not, I'll be back in an hour or so with a copy of the event log. I'm slightly worried that I've used up most of my activations over

XP64, WB 5.01.006 - No Explorer (taskbar, desktop icons) in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi everyone, I just reinstalled XP64 (my hard-drive was dangerously bloated), updated WB through SDC and installed it as usual. When the computer rebooted I had a WB wallpaper, but no start-menu, no system tray, no taskbar and no desktop icons. Task manager says explorer isn't running, and I can launch pretty much every program on the PC from 'New Task' EXCEPT explorer.exe - when I try to load it, CPU load increases for a few seconds but
