I renewed 2 days ago and I am still getting expired account messages in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have even submitted a support ticket immediately to StarDock and they have not even bothered to reply. Should I contact my credit card company or should I see if they will answer the telephone?

I emailed them Late Friday evening and heard nothing from them, but I did update my Ticket with this forum thread. Their support is horrifically slow, No weekend support and no word from them early Tuesday morning. Perhaps Stardock has gotten too big and simply dont have the time to devote to their customers like they once did? I went ahead and purchased Nextep Xtreme. I emailed their support with a question and received a reply within the hour. The owner reall

Ahh, I see, thank you! Stardock really should make that easier to understand. EDIT: Well, that did not work, the website wants to add $19.99 for the package you told me about (No ODNT discount) and it is adding another $14.99 for the 2.0 upgrade, this time I get the ODNT discount. They are trying to charge me $34.98 total for that stupid thing. Their support on weekends it worthless, I am fed up with this mess, I am going to download Nexus dock now, if I

If I understand you correctly, I am supposed to purchase 1.0 and Beta 2.0 first with my ODNT discount, then, I must purchase the 2.0 upgrade also? If Stardock expects me to pay twice, I'll just buy the Winstep Nexus dock ultimate.

Im glad I read this post, I have been trying to purchase ObjectDock Plus all weekend but their website is screwed up, I am going to give Nexus Dock a try instead.

I know that I can't get the upgrade price of $9.99, however I am entitled to a $5 discount, making the final price $14.99. That is the part of their website that does not work.

Reply to How Can I Download the Latest Full Version of ObjectDock Plus? in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Impulse is bloated garbage from Stardock, I have disliked it since the day it was released. Stardock Central is far better and if all you have is a few Stardock products, they should not shove Impulse down our throats.

Is there a reduced price for current Object Desktop subscribers? If so, I can't figure it out on their ordering page.

Reply to WinCustomize Subscriptions Now Your Portal To Free Stardock Design Skins! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Very dissapointed! I have been a WC customer for over 4 years and a OD customer much longer, but, there is only so much I can afford to pay being on a fixed income. IMHO, they should have given us a choice. I personally do not want premium skins. I was paying $20 for 2 years, thats $10 per year, now it is $30 per year. Sorry WC, I am now dropping my subscription. I will just use the website instead, since I am currently an Object Desktop Subscriber. I value my OD subscription, an

BIOS Problem? in BootSkin Stardock Forums

I just replaced the MB on my computer with an identical MB from MSI which has the latest bios, unfortunately bootskin quit working and I get the BSOD. Is there a bios setting that may allow this to work? I have phoenix bios and a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, AMD Athalon 64 X2 Duel Core 3800+ and 2 GB Ram. Is there another program that I can use to change my bootskin? Is there a chance that Stardock will ever decide to fix the problem? I have tried all 3 versions on the

I just replaced the MB on my computer with an identical MB from MSI which has the latest bios, unfortunately it quit working for me too, I am running SP 2, so I know that SP2 is not the reason for it not working, must be the bios! That is very upsetting. Is there a bios setting that may allow this to work? I have phoenix bios and a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, AMD Athalon 64 X2 Duel Core 3800+ and 2 GB Ram.

I just discontinued my cable! It was $45 a month and I could achieve download speeds of 100k bytes/sec and upload was capped at 10k bytes /sec (sux). I ordered dsl last week, and until my dsl was active i went to dialup (oh dear god, it really sux bad). My dsl provider provides 3 speed options which price out at $35, $45, $135 per month.....I chose the middle option because download speed is at T1.....I am now getting over 200k+ bytes /sec download and 30k bytes /sec upload....This rocks!

Reply to How did you meet your spouse or SO in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was working as a nuclear physicist at the jet propulsion lab in arizona. I was working late nights on a groundbreaking method for splitting atoms on a subatomic level using a laserlike device to bombard positively charged particles with plutonium ions. It was getting late and I was hungry, so I phoned for some pizza, when the pizza arrived, i was suprised to see a lovely young woman with eyes that wouldn't quit starring at me. She smiled at me and I suggested she could help me eat some pizza.
