First thing I tried when I installed the Win 7 beta was WindowBlinds (this was before 6.4, which checks for it). Let's just say it wasn't pretty. A Windows 7 version is in the works, and will be released as soon as possible.
This is a known issue with WindowBlinds 5.X and the latest Live Messenger. The only fix is to upgrade to the latest version of WindowBlinds (any 6.X version) or remove WindowBlinds 5.x. As this is not presentin the latest version, it will most likely not be patched in 5.x
XP 64 bit is not supported on versions of WindowBlinds higher than 6.2. You can e-mail [email protected] to get an archive of this version to use on XP x64
Nachtuil: What's not working? What exactly is going on?
The icons you have on one Desktop will show on all of them, and deleting from one will remove from all. Virtual Desktops is about window management really. You can launch an application on one and switch to another an launch other applications. Here's the feature list from the site: FAST switching between up to 25 virtual desktops using the mouse or hotkeys. Filters the taskbar to only display the applications open on that virtual

Especially make sure you have the latest version. If I remember correctly there were issues with an older version of WindowBlinds when Firefox 3 was first released like this, and updating may help.
[quote who="tigerlady" reply="8" id="2088732"]... When I try to use the free version of Cursor FX my cursor completely disappears.

If so, try uninstalling CursorFX, rebooting, and reinstalling from a newly downloaded installer. If it happens for one specific curs
Stardock Central will work for you if you're installing from archives (which is sounds like you are), but if one has a current Object Desktop subscription, Impulse is the only way to get the latest updates.

I've spoken with the developer about this, and it appears Fences disables Active Desktop intentionally. They are apparently incompatible and there are no plans to have Fences work with Active Desktop.
ObjectDock is not completely 64 bit compatible. Most likely launching Computer Management in 64 bit versions of Windows is launching a 64 bit application, which does not work when launching from the dock, which is running in 32 bit mode.
With DesktopX you can create sidebar gadgets: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/ You can also download Sidebar gadgets from WinCustomize here: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=63 I'm not aware of any functionality for the sidebar from any of our applications (less DesktopX)
The free MyColors themes that are included with Object Desktop are added to your account automatically throughout the year of your Object Desktop Subscription. You can buy any of the other themes at a discount by following the discount link for subscribers on the page.
For feedback for the fences beta, you can e-mail fencesbeta at stardok.com. Not sure why these 2 apps won't work together. I assume it has something to do with them working in the same desktop space. IconX isn't actively developed anymore, so most likely this will have to be a future Fences update (if it's possible to fix)
Cavan1 is absolutely right here. Happens with any of our apps that use alpha blending, be it in a skin, gadget, cursor or whatever.

Cookies for WinCustomize should be from wincustomize.com, so if you can't afford to lose all your cookies then clearing the ones for it(wincustomize.com) should do the trick.
Alot of the ObjectDock configuration gets left behind so if you do have to do an uninstall/reinstall you don't lose your dock settings. Clearing this out will leave you withthe default settings. Also, ObjectDock not being really supported on 64 bit platforms could cause issues as well.
BootSkin XP hasn't been touched in a long time. Pretty much if it works for you, great, if not, then we suggest you simply uninstall it.
I'll talk with our development team and see what I can find out about the future of this app.
Ultimately, if we could, we would just give the answer, but we really don't have a difinitive one. Another thing that will commonly present this issue is not having the WindowBlinds service installed correctly, which running the below file (right click and run as admin on Vista) will often resolve: http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/reinstall_wb_service.bat

Should be few to no problems skinning Office '07 apps with the latest version (6.4). Only big issue I cna think of off the top of my head is skisn with left alligned min/max/close buttons have the office orb overlap them. Other than that, working great!

Yeah, what Neil said in his post pretty much sums it up. BootSkin Pro currently works specifically with Windows Vista, and will not work with Windows 7 until updated.
You can also log in here: https://www.stardock.com/accounts/accountsetup.asp?SDID=1&Hide=True and under the "Logon Info" tab change your e-mail address to the updated one.
We've had reports of failed uploads, specifically in regards to the 28 MB cutoff that CarGuy1 was talking about, but have been unable to reproduce them.
