Reply to Upates to Software in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hey all, I am now a casualty from between the Impulse days and recently renewed my OD registration and found I could no longer use impulse to check for updates of installed apps. after going back and forth with the SD people I had to go and manually download everything I want to use or manually check in my account to see if any thing is newer than what I now have installed. What a pain in my...tookus, backside, Arse..Ect...Ect.! If the past going from SDC to Impulse is any indication

Sound Packager 1.20 in SoundPackager Stardock Forums

Well I have searched for a week now and have had no luck finding any posts on why the latest version of Sound Packer does not run with Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

Reply to Theme Manage Problem - Suites Wont Apply in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Theme manager still has issue's applying themes or Suites. It fails to actually dowload the WB, Icons, Cursors, wallpaper or anything associated with the theme or the suite, mostly with suites. Mainly because My Colors are all inclusive Themes, and the free ones download via Impulse once you have a Registered version of My Colors installed again via Impulse. My main issue is I applied the Free Glass Burgundy Theme and after awhile I wanted a change, so I reverted to Vista default skins and fo

windowblinds in Vista Support Stardock Forums

I am running Vista Ultimate 64 and cannot find were the Skins are stored, By the way if you run Vista and are having troubles running winblinds, use Impulse and un-install windowblinds then reinstall the latest version and it should ask for reboot. I have all my skins and they all work fine. anyway I am trying to locate the skins directory were they are stored.
