MyColors stopping Windows update running on Vista!

from Stardock Forums

As an Impulse affiliate and Stardock supporter this worries me a great deal. It seems like on some Windows Vista systems, MyColors can stop Windows update from working from the control panel. I've got one friend/customer who can reproduce this issue. When MyColors is disabled, her Windows update works fine, when it's enabled, it fails.

It's also been reported in this thread on Microsofts forum

Here's a screenshot from an affected machine:-

I hope someone from Stardock can look into this as a matter of urgency.

She just needs to install the latest version of MyColors.

There was an issue with an update to Windows Update that Microsoft pushed out on Windows Vista machines which we resolved a couple of days later.

Ah yes, an update sorted it out, even though she promised me she'd updated Mycolors today :)

Thanks for your very swift help!

What specifically are you unable to open?

What OS are you running and what had you installed on it?
