Reply to I won one! in Community WinCustomize Forums

Due to your original post regarding this, I renewed my program and as such also have two license keys that I do not need. Should you get a ton of requests, let me know and I will send the key to you to distribute as you see fit. I also would like to note that this software is akin to Object Desktop in that it needs to be renewed yearly but generally the renewal is about $13.00 if you wait for the right deal. [e digicons]

Doc, since I use this software, I think a correction is needed. Advanced System Care comes with the Antivirus. There are not two separate programs, just one. If you all ready have virus protection, then the Anti Virus will install in compatibility mode as you choose that when you are installing. Just to clear things up so there is no confusion.

[quote who="starkers" reply="1" id="3189316"]Do you have Ghostery installed? If so that may be the source of your problem. I have the same issue and merely disabling it/white listing WC does not help. I found the only way to be able to comment on skins is the completely uninstall Ghostery, which leaves you open to a host of trackers and unwanted popups, etc. As much as as I would like to be able to comment on skins, I value my internet safety/privacy eve

Reply to gamestop Impulse update got rid of "My software" in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I would say find an older version of Impulse, install it, uninstall all of your Object desktop software and reinstall them through the SDC software or download from the store. You can find an older version here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Impulse-Download-102198.html But as stated, install it while you are offline and then uninstall all of the OD software.

[quote who="LizMarr" reply="7" id="3187373"]I have nearly no icons on my desktop. I am from the IT Tech era where memory was so precious that every icon on the desktop took away from the productivity of the machine. We taught the users to get their programs by clicking the start menu, and we helped them to customize that so it would have their most needed icons in the same place. (you should see my Start menu - organized to a "T") I'm not sure anyone here would remember the days when some

Liz, I tried Fences and like you, was having a great deal of consternation managing the fences and I used it mainly to hide the icons on my desktop when I was working on a wall so I could get a better view of it (I tend to keep a lot of crap on my Desktop for easy access) I once had a program that would hide the icons with a single click on an icon in the taskbar plus it would allow you to change the color of the text labels under the icons. I did not know if it would work on Win7 but went hu

Reply to WindowFX 5 Update in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well, excuse me for being an idiot and wanting to know if I have the latest version of the software that I paid for installed on my machine. It seems like a simple request is met with hostility and frankly I am tired of it. Not only this unknown update but my CFX is hosed as well until that update is fixed. I love Stardocks stuff but the constant problems with updating is getting old. Perhaps a version # and date of the DLL that is being replaced would go a long way to clear up any confusion.

All right. I will admit, I am totally confused. I did not install this program until last night. I downloaded it from the store and installed. SDC says I have version 5.0 but what I downloaded last night says 5.1. The version I downloaded after seeing this post looks identical to the one I downloaded last night, it also says version 5.1. So, what do I have installed?[e digicons]x_x[/e]

Reply to CursorFX 2.11 Update Available in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Needless to say, this issue was highly confusing to straighten out on my machine particularly due to the name change from CFX Plus to CFX. I had to remove both and then do the reinstall. Why doesn't Stardocks software ever do a clean uninstall? Incidentally, I did have to manually uninstall CFX Plus.

Well, since SDC said it was still an available update, I told it to install it again, only this time it told me to reboot after installing. I did, but on restart WB wasn't loaded and Explorer locked up hard. Once Explorer unlocked,I tried to open the Cursor FX but could only open from the control panel applet, I opened SDC and it still shows the update to Cursor FX Plus. Since I have the 2.11 downloaded from the store, I think I will uninstall and redo it. [e digicons]X([/e] [e dig
