Drive Scan in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Is Drive Scan no longer available ? I've been looking for it on the Stardock website but so far have only found screenshots, no download.

Can't Download DeskScapes 3 in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I'm using Impulse to download DeskScapes 3 but all I get is the "Preparing download" message with no actual download. Why ? I renewed my Object Desktop subscription on the 8th of November this year; please don't tell me I now need to pay again...........

Reply to CPU usage in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

The problem has returned and I've narrowed down the cause. There's some kind of conflict with the Second Life Emerald viewer - not the regular viewer which seems ok but the 3rd party Emerald one. The problem starts when Emerald is fired up and WB is running. But after that the problem continues even when emerald is shut down. The only way to stop it is to unload WB, though as I said before it returns as soon as WB is loaded again. Re-installing WB only cures the problem until Emerald

CPU usage in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Windowblinds 7 Windows 7 x64 Ultimate AMD Athlon Dual Core Processors Today I noticed that CPU usage was running at about 50% even when I wasn't actually doing anything. It turned out this was Windows Explorer basically using one entire processor to do nothing that was apparent. I let it run for over an hour just in case it ran itself out, but it didn't, it just kept chugging along. Eventually I narrowed the cause down to Windowblinds. That is, if I unlo

Reply to Working for Windows 7 YET ? in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Well, I uninstalled IP5 and things are worse now. Many of my icons are now just blank. As an example, of the 6 icons in my Quick Launch bar, only 2 are ok and they're both Windows functions (Show Desktop and Switch Windows). The other 4 (Firefox, Thunderbird, Windows Explorer and Workshelf) are all blank rectangles.

I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and just downloaded IP5. All seems more or less ok except for Workshelf where most icons have turned into white squares. Odd.

Reply to Bootskin not changing boot skin in BootSkin Stardock Forums

[quote]Did you try the other versions?WWW Link[/quote] [B]DON'T USE THE VERSIONS CONTAINED IN THIS LINK.[/B] I followed the advice given in Zubaz' thread. Each version caused Windows to crash at bootup. I was able to retrieve the situation only by booting in Safe Mode.

Thx, but no thx. I prefer to have the CPU time.

Reply to Glossamer in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I don't think so Night Train. The windowblinds animations configuration refers to a different set of animations. It's a fact that even with Winblinds config set to ignore current skin animations, Glossamer still eats up CPU time.

Glossamer in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It's one of Boxxi's best skins but the animations use a whopping 35% of CPU resource, making it utterly impractical. Is there an easy way to disable animations ?

Reply to WinCustomize wont supply skins later than June in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

No. I've no problems at the WC site. It's only when I use the WC browser. Sorry, I should have made that clear. [Message Edited]

WinCustomize wont supply skins later than June in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

My account should be active until December but all the skins I see via WinCustomize are dated no later then June this year. Very odd..... Any ideas ?

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It's not that. I just remembered, the first download was done via Wincustomize Browser, the 2nd (good) one via IE 6. But I just tried the Win browser again and it worked this time. Sigh....... All's well that ends well.

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I didn't know that. I didn't login for first download but did for the 2nd. Could that be the difference ??

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well that's damned odd. I just downloaded again and got a perfect file. If it weren't for Sloegin's comment I'd have to conclude it was just one of those things.

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Did you download from the "suites" section ? Check out Sloegin's statement in the ZippoXP comment. He seems to have had exactly the same problem. Strange.....

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

IF Pixtudio uploaded a new, corrupted, version then perhaps they've the same version on their own site without realising. Safest to leave it until this is sorted out. The downloaded file on my HD is about 2.4k in size btw.

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Also, why is file size given as "10170155bytes" and not "10Mb" or "10170k" as I'd normally expect ? Essencay, you downloaded Friday. I suspect the file may have been altered since.

Reply to Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Judging from the ZippoXP Comments, I'm not the only one that's had problems. Essencay, when did you download your file ?

Zippo in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Beware the Zippo.exe file in the Suites section. Windows XP thinks it's a DOS program. When executed it resulted in an error (it made my printer churn out page after blank page), and worst of all it then refused to be deleted, even after a reboot and even in safe mode. and if you think the fault must lie in my system, well perhaps, but check out the file size. It's given as 10Mb, which it isn't.
