WC is the only one I use, I still have a weird issue with avg running my cpu to 100% in the Stardock forums,so I can't spend any time there. NBD. Impulse is looking good,just never anybody in the forums.IE7 mostly, but I'm trying FF3 b5 and it is FAST.

I hope this is the right thread to post this: 2 or three days ago I downloaded My Colors from Impulse but after install all I got was Aero restore,not knowing at the time that Quest came with it.Thinking a purchase was required for any themes, I uninstalled My Colors.(I'm not cheap,just unemployed,lol) Anyway, today I was cleaning up and in Program Files/Stardock/My Colors I found a folder named ERROR containing an empty folder,a config.file and the wallpaper I had on at the time of install.

I had one of those entries,don't remember which ,over three weeks ago. The other four I got after installing SP1 .I've only had AVG since 1/15 so I'm not sure but I think it's more of a notification than an alert. I know my system is clean. I've got Vista w/ defender and at least four other means of scanning for malware. I only have WB and ObjectDock btw, not ODNT (sigh),maybe next year. I agree with Philly0381, I wouldn't worry too much about it, but contacting AVG may provide answers. Maybe i

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner but someone unplugged the forums soon after I saw your post. Murphy's law will prevail.Ive cleared cookies with IE7 tools,SuperAnti-spy and ccleaner as well,deleted IE temp files, deep scanned for spyware and viruses,nothing helped. Odd thing is I can go to the forums at WC or Impulse and everything is normal. This is WAY over my head ;p .As I told support,my main concern is for others who may not notice it happening,if indeed it does ,and damage something.As for m

Just went and checked. Now Wizard1956 is appearing as signed in and no ads. I only saw them in the forums anyway and I can't go there. Still 100% CPU as soon as I access the forums. Vista Home Basic w/SP1, been using AVG free w/no problems. This HP was new 11/21/07. Also my first pc,about to say the hell with it and unpack my x-box and ps2. ;p I'll contact Stardock support Monday, so they are aware of it.Thanks so much for your reply, I'll keep checking back to see if those of you with far more

I have been using SDC since 1/15/08 but only for downloads and updates. However,today I thought I'd check out the forums there. BAD idea! It seems I can use anything on the site but the forums. As soon as I go to "Discussions" my cpu instantly hammers to 100% (from 2-7%) I checked the task manager and found the process avgrssvc.exe running at 91-93% Does my anti-virus think there is an infectio

Oops, my goof. Are we talking only about the WC site? I've got no problem with them here,only at SDC.Wishing everyone a great weekend!

I'm not only getting ads at SDC. The status bar says I'm logged in, My WB6 is registered as is my WC sub. However, it still says I am a guest,which would explain the ads. I only use SDC for updates anyway,so I can tough it out 'til Impulse is ready, which sounds like a major step forward. I get lost at SDC to easily,anyway.lol X-(

The problem was present long before SP1 so I've ruled that out. No crashes since my last post,then this. Nothing but Sidebar,WB6, IE7 and Yahoo! messenger running at the time. Crashed when switching between windows. It's not bogging down,it just quits. Cpu and mem are both well below 50%,and it restarts every time without closing any windows (insert smiley of me scratching head) and life goes on. I'm sure that a solution will be found once Stardock has enough data to work with. P.S. My UAC i

A System Restore and a System Recovery are two separate actions. A recovery reformats and re-installs all originally installed programs. (And can be done on an HP from the boot menu without a disc. "F11" - if you haven't deleted the partition) and you must re-load your backed up data. A restore rolls back your system to a prior point in time. You will only lose anything saved after that restore point.Check your help and support section for more details. (Not that I'm advocating reading the instr

After several days of testing I've decided to add windows sidebar to my "don't use" list,along with the WC Browser and TM. I can't take the chance of permanent damage.If I had the money or the time maybe I could do more with this cheap-assed computer,but caring for a family member 24/7 after his stroke leaves my wife and I with little of either.I was looking for answers and all I got were more questions.There's no help here. End Of Reports...I'll go away now.Good Luck,all.

Last three times yahoo messenger was only thing running besides WB and sidebar. Sorry I got off topic. I'll save that for another thread. Only common denominator is that the curser is in mot

An update: Shut down Object Dock at 5:20. At5;30 pm, local 'net went down for an hour. Didn't get to try much til 10;30pm At 11;57 Explorer quit under same conditions as before but with no object dock. Three minutes later, same thing, same way but I also had Java running.At 11;20 pm I turned the [B]Sidebar [/B]OFF and no OD. It has three gadgets, the weather channel, a cpu/mem meter and a system info which I've had on it since day one. Tried till 2;am and it didn't quit once! I've been trying s

You can apply the theme then go to windowblind config and under skin options select "rebuild list" and the windowblind and wallpaper will stay in the windowblind list and can be applied using WB. Did it with all my themes, works great,try it out.If all you have is WB it's actually much faster to apply and remove.
