Not quite sure what you're asking. When you say "edit" an animated wallpaper - If you mean actually go into DreamMaker and make changes to an existing animated wallpaper and then save those changes, any user that loads the changed dream will then see those changes. If you mean just going into DeskScapes Configuration and selecting a different dream, or apply a DeskScapes Configuration filter to a dream, those settings will only apply to the currently logged in user.

Can you find it if you load the skin, go into WB config / Colours tab / Change System Colours button? Sometimes I just spot the color there that I want to change.

I don't stop eating any of it, I pay attention and eat less of it. [e digicons];)[/e] Pretty much everything that has been said here agrees with my experience. I also have to watch carbs and be very light with sugar, seem to be ok with meat. The one thing that I did have to stop completely, mainly because it makes such a huge difference, is soda pop (full sugar load variety). I have several things that I love and have occasionally, always good for a couple of pounds

Hmm, so I see. If you're looking for specific name or creator, you could try just search "All" and going through those. If you are looking for clocks, you could search on "Clock" and it'll pull everything with "clock" in the name (from everywhere). You can also mess with the "Filter" and "Category" buttons on the right.

Nope, not a stupid question. [e digicons];)[/e] On the WC site menu mouseover "Explore" button at top. List should pop up. You want "Desktop X Objects". If it's not showing, click on "View Gallery List" towards the bottom of the list and it'll be on the page that comes up. You can add it to your "Explore" list by selecting "Customize" at the bottom of that list.

When I made the "Reminds me of the cigarette companies..." remark I didn't intend or expect the 2nd part to be taken literally. I have no idea what happened after that as I just posted it and turned off my machine and moved on, fully expecting the thread to go on about its merry way the way most of those types do. If that turned out to be a major mistake, then I do apologize for that. As far as locking/deleting posts, I have to admit I'm wondering what the heck has h

For what it's worth I just now restored an archive of SoundPackager I made about a year ago and it went fine. I know that doesn't mean a lot other than at least on some level Impulse archives are still restoring to XP which is good to know - I thought maybe an MS XP patch had gotten in the way. That's about as far as I'm willing to go, I don't want to muck around with my WB install and that wouldn't necessarily be helpful either. Probably time to start a ticket with Suppor

Sorry Daiwa I was hoping that would get it. That's the methodology I've used before to uninstall/reinstall/rollback/restore various SD software and it's worked. Only other thing I can think of is to try one of the registry cleaners like CCCleaner after uninstall if you're so inclined (I don't use them myself). I find myself wondering if the restore function has gone sideways, I'm not anxious to test it. Einstein: I would certainly run a full virus scan and a solid di

Ya I tried it from the initial receipt (usually just get it there), tried it from the confirmation email, tried it from the registration page. Just in case there was some quirk in the address somewhere (easier than comparing them all).

Thanks 2of3, but the link that's broken is the link Stardock provides to download after the skin is bought through WC. It's already been paid for. It's happened before, Stardock gets it fixed. I just posted this in case one of the mods here wants to give somebody specific at Stardock a nudge or make a comment on the skin or whatever. Just didn't want to sit here and watch it snowball.

I'd let it reboot once after you applied the default XP skin and before you uninstall WB - let it boot once without loading WB at all, doesn't look like you did that. No guarantees, might want to wait and see what everybody else says. Reboot after uninstalling, looks like you did that Reboot after restoring, looks like you did that One other thought - might try the "Reboots" as cold starts using the "Turn Off" option instead of the "ReStart Option" (but let Impul
