I don't think those files are ours to give... This will be why no-one's sent them to you. Besides, the versions may or may-not match what you have and possible cause a whole new raft of troubles.

Sounds like he's paranoid about WB breaking his PC so by putting on a RAM drive it will be easy to erase if there's problems. I do hope he realises that the install will be erased when the computer is turned off! That in itself may cause problems on next reboot when Windows finds registry entries that suddenly point to nowhere :-0 ! As Neil said, there's some files that get put into C:\Windows\SystemXX (and elsewhere). Althought I've never l

I am using the stardock central exe that you download from from the site today if that is where it comes from. Yes, that's where it comes from. Did you let SDC update itself after installing it? i.e is it at the latest version? I experienced some previous betas that didn't put the sdmcp fi

can't do anything other than bring up Task Manager and reboot. FWIW, Ctrl+Esc will get your start menu up and from there you can start OD and disable the 'hide taskbar' option if you want to troubleshoot the problem. I have all icons hidden (incl. Recycle using TweakUI) and taskbar hidden f

Not symetrical? Bugging out? Looking weird? Could you explain the problem a little better? FWIW, I find that I often have to tweak the background.ini file offsets & positions to get the background to display completely - i.e it is quite often off the edge of the screen. I'll try to do some screen shot

I can't imagine why WB would even try to skin OD+ ! I don't use WB so it's never going to be a problem for me, but OD+ has it's own means of customising the look - is it somehow intgrated with WB? <img src="http://images.st

Now if i apply any other theme the pc starts to shutter. This is usually related to video overlay settings when alphablending is used by some app other than ObjDock (Windowblinds?). <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Po

I bought OD Plus for this, only to find out it isn't possible. If you have OD Plus all you do is make 2 docks - I've been running it this way for ever! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Posted via WinCustomize Browser

Yeah, I guess Apple has a copyright on software that can do what you want without spending 4 hours configuring it. OK, some questions then: how do you (for example) change the look of the separators in the Mac Bar? Or the background? Or the zoomed icon size? Or is it more accurate to say y

But I'm with you about auto resizing.... What for? It's not like you're constantly adding/removing icons all the time (at least I'm not!). Then, once you've got the icons you want, size the dock accordingly - what's the big deal ? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Ew.gif" border=0 ALIGN=

Do you have mcpcore.dll and sdmcp.exe in 'c:\program files\common files\stardock' ? They sometimes go missing when SDC updates. These files need to be there for the systray to work. If you don't have copies anywhere else you may need to reinstall SDC to get them back.

When I apply a bootscreen, why do the previews look awesome, but when my machine actually boots, they look VERY pixely. Bootscreen images are only 640x480 pixels x 16 colours. I'd say whoever made those particular bootscreens may not be showing 'honest' previews... <img src="http://images.stard

No added/custom docklets. It's been such a long time since I've done a fresh install of OD, but ISTR it installs a couple of docklets by default (weather & clock?). You don't mention whether you already removed these... I don't have GC2 either, but have you tried the 'Temporarily Disable Do

With all due respect to Citizen seldomseen , it's under the Dock Settings->Tabs & Styles option but you have to click on one of the tabs to cause the background options to appear.

This does happen from time to time since OD appears to spawn some apps within it's own 'environment'. From my limited investigation, it looks like it's dependant on the app being run also - eg SDC gets spawned in its own environment even though it's launched from OD. I think it would be a good idea if OD could have a setting to permit spawning apps in their own environment, although I wonder what impact this would have on system resources, p

Now im aware that there are many docklets that do this by themselves, but i cant put them into my system tray dock, Why not? There are several SysStats battery meter docklets that work fine in the system tray. The only thing is that it inserts a separator that doesn't seem to be deletable (I only jus

Re installing docklets, it should be documented in the material you download - if not, pester the author to do it! Usually you need to create a sub-dir under the docklets directory in the name of the docklet and install the files into there. SysStats has it's own heirarchy under docklets which you need to honour when you download/install SysStats docklets. <img src="http://images.s

've seen this on previous builds somtimes and it's usually associated with a dialog from RC which has popped up asking if you want to save changes. If it pops up behind another app it's often not noticed. Trouble is you need to find it before the 'shutting down' dialog countdown finishes! Once you save the changes it's all good again. Haven't seen this at all with the latest build however... <a href="../resources.
