Reply to WindowBlinds 7.9x (WB 8) Beta Issue Thread in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Same problem as doctorx. Installed, rebooted and got "Windowblinds does not appear to be correctly installed on your machine. Would you like to try to fix this issue now?" If I click Yes, still the same problem. Uninstalled, rebooted, turned off AV (ESET 6), reinstalled, rebooted, still no go. Service is running and wbcore.exe exists. Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.9 Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 8.1 <br /

Reply to Fences 2 Beta Bug Reporting in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Bug: I cannot move folder portals if I have set "Show Labels" to "Never" while I can move fences. I just put the cursor near the top margin of a fence and it changes into the four-arrow move cursor. With folder portals, the cursor doesn't change.

Reply to WindowFX 5 Beta Feedback Thread in WindowFX Stardock Forums

Thank you very much for this amazing new version. I love WinFX before and I love it even more now. All the animations are running great with no hiccups. However, I noticed some nuances that could be improved. * If I have "Make windows under the active window darken..." checked, whenever I open/restore a window, it appears in its opened/restored state briefly and then disappears before the animation starts and completes normally. This becomes annoying after a while as it detracts from

Reply to Windowblinds & Directory Opus V9 or V10 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Here's a temp fix that works great. 1. Reboot into Safe Mode so that you can edit WindowBlinds' files. 2. Backup 'wblind.dll' or 'wblind64.dll' for 64-bit Windows. (By default, the files are in 'C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds') 3. Depending on your Windows, open either 'wblind.dll' or 'wblind64.dll' in a hex editor and look for 'DOPUS.EXE'. 4. When you find it, edit it to something l

Reply to Fences Pro Updated to v1.1 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

An alternative is to uninstall Fences from Impulse (Choose to keep your settings and backups when asked) and then install the new version. The downside is you have to reboot 2 times (when uninstalling and re-installing). The new version doesn't have problems with archiving though.

Reply to WindowFX 4 Beta Has Arrived! in WinCustomize News Stardock Forums

Thanks Neil, I got it! I didn't realize the flick is like the one on a touch screen. I had been trying to drag the window and throw it around when all I needed to do was make a flick using the cursor in place of a finger as I would on a touch screen. Thanks very much for a great app! It's all the more reason for renewing my OD subscription when the time comes around in January.

Reply to WindowFX 4 Beta Has Arrived! in WinCustomize News Stardock Forums

OK, I've got v3.99 (v4.0 RC) installed and everything's working great except Windows Flick. I have all options off except Windows Flick and movement momentum. The default options for flicks are set ("Fill 50% of left screen on left flick", etc.) Then, I tried flicking an explorer window left, right, top and bottom but nothing seems to happen. Flicking means dragging a window and then throwing it around the screen, right? I'm positive that WFX is enabled and

Reply to Deskscapes causes Windows 7 64 bit Graphics GPU to lock in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[EDIT] Thanks for your quick reply Neil! And I'm happy to say that I was wrong. I posted the reply only by looking at the frequency monitors and without testing in-game first. You are right! The issue has been solved! I just tested by running a game benchmark. Thanks very much for taking the time to fix it! I've had to live with static wallpapers for like 2 months and you know how it must feel for someone who have tasted DeskScapes. Thanks again for the

Reply to ATI 5870 – Installation of the “Beast” in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, there is no direct way in Afterburner to force clocks. I can do it by setting "EnableUnofficialOverclocking" to 1 in the Afterburner config file but PowerPlay gets disabled. I want to use Rivatuner but it doesn't support 5xxx cards directly so I'm sticking with the next best thing for now.

Reply to ATI 5870 – Installation of the “Beast” in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I've got two profiles in Afterburner but I'm using an MSI BIOS with an XFX card to get past clock limitations. The advantage with this is the driver downclocks when the card is idle. However it creates a problem with DS3 like I said. If I use the original XFX BIOS and edit Afterburner's config file to overvolt and overclock, it works fine but the card always runs at full clocks whether 2D or 3D or idle so I have to switch profiles all the time. There is indeed the option to set 2D and

Reply to ATI 5870 – Installation of the “Beast” in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

IslandDog, I want to warn you about something. I think DeskScapes 3 may have a problem with Radeon cards. I'm using a Radeon HD 5850, running the latest 10.2 drivers and the latest DS3 (v3.10). To reproduce the problem I had, set your desktop to the "Planktonic" dream in DS3, run a game (I used RE5) and benchmark it. Now, disable DS3 altogether and set a static wallpaper from Windows Explorer just to be sure. Then, run the same game and benchmark it. You'll see the scores are much higher with

I didn't even know there was such a thing as ODNT Launchpad. So I think it's missing from my Impulse too, or is it the same thing as Impulse Dock? If it is, it can be added to your account free of charge from here: https://store.stardock.com/product.aspx?productid=ESD-SDD-W738
