Mine says unregistered and was installed from the Component Manager. I have a feeling that something went awry but am not sure if it is the installer not doing what it should or DesktopX not reading what it should from what the installer set up.

Sounds like a virus to me. The name is too similar to cmd.exe. Has to have been designed to be passed over on a quick scan through the taskmanager by eye. Have you tried running it through dependency walker. That should show what it's doing (or trying to). Also could try running the sysinternals tools at www.sysinternals.com and see if it's writing to disk or modifying registry etc. If you don't want to risk your PC more than it has been already send me a copy and I'll have a look on my sp

Simpsons, King of the Hill and Futurama when they are on. Only Simpsons remains at the moment and that has been swatted aside for Wimbledon.

I also enjoyed Battle of the Planets, Dungeons and Dragons, Transformers and Flintstones among others. Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (and something else I can't remember) used to be on at 6:00am

Quoted from the Docs mentioned earlier: "Select the ‘Windows XP’ option from the list of skins available, and then select ‘*Use WindowBlinds Skin*’ from the available styles.

Some ISP's seem to have blocked email from Stardock due to some idiot reporting them for spam. This may be a case of this. If you can pop into stardock chat (irc.stardock.com) or post on the newsgroups (news.stardock.com) they may be able to check into this possibility.

What's wrong with the : 'I say! That's not very sporting. You're not paying cricket old chap.' approach? 'Most young ruffians will run away in fright after a good stiff talking to.' /me goes back to the 20's where you could leave your house open at night without a care. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBrowser!"
