Just as I thought...threaten their wallet and results will be had! When I told them I wanted my money back, I was immediately put through to tech-support where a weblink was emailed to me. I don't know if I'd be so smug - you haven't solved the cause of the problem. To me it looks like you've b

Reply to ObjectDock + Windows XP 64bit... No System Tray icons? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

You need to install Stardock Central. It provides the support files for the system tray stuff. Once it's installed make sure that both checkboxes under Settings->General->Enable MCP... are ticked, then reboot. If it still doesn't work, it's probably related to what's being reported in this thread: https://www.wincustomize.com/browser/forums.aspx?AID=118332 <img src="http://images.stardock.com

In addition to Jafo's suggestion above, has anyone tried my suggestion (#11) in this thread? https://www.wincustomize.com/browser/forums.aspx?AID=68121 I don't have the problem so it's completely untested (but logical IMHO) & I'm not going to try it on my machine but if you have a problem, what have you got to lose? <img src="http://images.stardoc

Reply to Star Dock Central Problem in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

This is really puzzling... I don't know what you've tried already, or what other threads you've read. but may I suggest the following: Make sure you're logged in with admin rights. Uninstall SDC - check in the Windows' "Set program Access & Defaults" that it's gone from there. Then check using TaskManager that no copies of SDMCP.EXE are running (kill them if so). Delete any startup entries for SDMCP.EXE you might have i

Judging by a quite a few threads in the (not so distant) past, McAfee seems to be the source of a lot of problems with various apps (and DX widgets) that need to access the internet - and it seems to be regardless of whether the warning appears (and is allowed) or not. A definite check would be to try it with McAfee disabled (or uninstalled) and see what happens... <img src="http://images.sta

Ok, if I read this right, Australia is the same as Europe. DC. Which you can get DC to AC converters, I think you may have this confused! All our mains outlets are AC 240V,50Hz although I've heard that Australia may eventually follow the European standard of 230VAC,50Hz. The wall sockets

Reply to A question for the Aussies in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

It's pretty much the same as (most of) Europe 240VAC/50Hz. If it's a reasonably modern computer power pack it should run on pretty much anything between 100V-250V. It'll be listed on the pack itself somewhere... The main thing he'll need is a plug adapter because we have unique 'angled-flat-prong' types / \ that no-one else (except maybe NZ) uses! | HTH. <img src

Have you tried 'Settings->Internet->Refresh XML Data'? Though I'm not sure if this works for SDC itself or just the installed apps... Or maybe change servers?

An uninstall of SDC and reinstall should do the job He claims he's done this and it didn't help! I can't think why - it's always worked for me. Is it some permission problem maybe on the \program files\common files folder? <img src="http://i
