Reply to bootskin vista? What's the point? in BootSkin WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Shirley" reply="2" id="2123673"] I have been able to do this since before there was a bootskin vista or bootskin pro simply using msconfig and changing some file permissions. I would love to know how you did this.[/quote] Check out neowin.

Part of OD, the ripped off feeling, because I renewed in July because of the promiss of a bootskin app only to find after getting around to trying it out that it is as I said lame. A disclamer of what it lacks in ability should be made more clear so people can avoid this thing. Also having permissions problems with other object desktop apps working in the admin acc but not in others. Vista is perhaps the end of desktop cutomization, haven't tried OB in win 7 yet.

bootskin vista? What's the point? in BootSkin Stardock Forums

Seems all bootskin vista is capable of doing is applying a static image. I have been able to do this since before there was a bootskin vista or bootskin pro simply using msconfig and changing some file permissions. Is this all that is available with vista bootskins? If so this application seems a tad lame and I feel a little dissapointed and well riped off. Was hopping for something a little more spectacular.

Reply to Here's what my Windows Blinds is doing...have you seen this before? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I have it as well. It is because of one of the latest vista updates, perhaps xp as well. Another issue is on my vista 64 bit system there are three users. My stardock apps (object desktop) run as your pic for the admin user but not for the others, and yes I have tried setting permissions for all users, and installing latest versions, but to no avail. If anyone has any help on either of these issues please reply. Also of note firefox (latest version as well) will also not run anymore, but minefie
