Wow, didn't mean to create such a stir. vStyler, thanks I can't wait to pick this skin up. Lightstar, good for you. My reasons are my own and I don't need your permission or approval to have them. I now return you to your regularly scheduled skin release programming.....

Wow, that looked like a shout out. I feel almost obligated to pop-in here now.. I simply found where the javascript was barfing, however I think I also said numerous times in the previous discussion that Flash had NOTHING to do with the problem you were experiencing with the ratings. It was poorly written javascript, and nothing more. The only blame Flash has in the whole situation is that the javascript was checking for the existence of the Flash plug-in. I'm no fan of flash either but if we

I know it's frustrating but it's that chunk of javascript that I pasted that is causing the rating plugin to fail. It only involves flash insofar as it is checking to see if flash is available. It's just bad code that is causing a completely unrelated function to fail. So a tad bit more digging and the strange resource Url that points to the problematic js code seems to be created by this lutility: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/combres.aspx So -- it does seems t

It's a jQuery plugin, if disabling flash in IE8 is disabling the control then maybe the bug is in IE. This may come as a surprise but IE is not what you'd call a "good" browser. If I disable scripting on the site using NoScript in FF the control goes away, no big surprise. However, if the control were flash based I would have to enable the movie every time I visit the site because I have flash disabled no matter what. There is NO flash in the rating control. If you don't believe me do

I've seen this behavior with Windows' built in compressed folders utility, so it looks like something to do with files being extracted from a compressed state to the desktop. If I had to guess, Fences is trying to move the file as soon as it hits the desktop, but since the file probably isn't complete it is either locked or the next time a chunk of data is written to the file it *pops* back to the desktop. On my wife's laptop I could actually see the file go from the desktop, into the

I have the same problem, Vista 64 to XP SP3. I haven't tested whether it works after rebooting but I had configured the Master PC first and then configured the secondary and I could never get it to work. Even though the Troubleshooting wizard told me it could successfully connect to the Secondary machine. Stardock, any ideas?

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="4" id="2182303"]Maybe uninstall Impulse and reinstall?[/quote] Yup, that's what I ended up doing. It *seems* to be working now, the endless spinner is no more and I can see the new Ankh MyColors theme so it is apparently connecting and doing its thing successfully. I'm still getting XML version errors as well as server connection errors in the log file but those may not be germane to the real problem. Thanks again to everyone who offer

For the past 3 days, maybe more I don't run Impulse all that often, whenever I try and run impulse it never manages to "retrieve latest information". The spinner in the top right of the Impulse window just spins endlessly. Since I'm posting this from the same machine and I can get to the internet and play online games etc, I'm assuming my connection is fine. WHen I go to the Impulse help menu and try the Diagnose connection issues link I get what looks to me like a successful result:

This is another perfect example of threads that deserve to be rated down.. That would be a nice feature. :) I now return you to your regularly scheduled whining session...

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry about the fact that there's an IT guy that actually said your RAM was infected. Someone needs to explain to him the difference between volatile and non-volatile memory. Anyway, on to the problems. If your computer is in fact infected as it sounds very much like it is. Then all of your security tools are worthless. Most new viruses and malware, honestly the malware is typically far worse than a virus, immediately disable security tools and some

Maybe there's already a way to do this but will Impulse support a way to import ALL of your registrations into the app in one shot? I re-install windows alot and I really get tired of having to click through all of the different options to enter all of my registration codes. Looking good, can't wait to try it out!

Well, I should I think but I don't.. I bought Sirius and Slider XP on 12-22 and I didn't see any mention of the Winter Wonderland Suite until I got the December Stardock Newsletter today strangely enough. Do those purchases not qualify for the suite? Let me know cause I know my wife would love that suite. Thanks!

Not posting the details here. Anyone who can handle it PM me and I'll reply with all the details. I'm thinking a report RIP button on every posting would sure make this process easier. If it's good enough for a site the size of Deviant Art I don't see why it can't work here. BTW, I first reported this on Oct. 7th then followed up on the 11th. Still no response.

Tried getting it installed but I need to use GParted to partition my C drive RAID array in order to make enough room for it. At this point I can't figure out how to get GParted to recognize my RAID controllers. I'll keep at it but I don't hold much hope for it.
