Problems with Theme Manager

from Stardock Forums
Hello! I purchased object desktop, and I have an issue with Theme Manager. Very rarely it would apply the suite properly. Most of the time It either does not change the Window Blinds portion (taskbar would have the previous skin or go to windows classic skin), or hangs at the applying skins portions. It does not actually freeze, but I waited for 30 minutes, and it still displayed the applying theme screen. After a reinstall I got it to work for a bit, but then it started happening again. If I go strait into window blinds, it applies the theme fine. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

As a temporary workaround, is there anyway to import a suite directly into windowblinds instead of theme manager. I can Add wga and zip files to it, but not suite


Finally, not related to the above questions, how many computers can I install object desktop?


Thank You very much in advance!

you'll have to check each EULA (each app with ODNT appears to have one) to make sure, but the first few I checked showed:

YOU MAY:
1. Install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer.
2. Install a second copy of the SOFTWARE on a second computer only if you are
the main user of this computer (home computer or laptop for example).
3. Install the SOFTWARE on another computer only if you change of main
workstation. In such a case you must uninstall the software from the old
computer.
4. Use the SOFTWARE via a network, only if you have purchased an adequate number
of licenses. The number of users must not exceed the number of licenses you have
purchased.
5. Make a copy of the SOFTWARE for archival purposes only.

How would I access WB Configuration?


If I go strait into window blinds, it applies the theme fine.


That is WB config, on left click system info and copy and paste it here.

WBconfig is the screen that previews your installed WB skins.

Theme Manager Version 2.50.045


I'm using the same version on Vista Ultimate and have the same issue with applying WB's, all other elements of a suite will apply just fine but the WB remains unchanged, though I can apply it manually via WBConfig without a problem. It's not really that much of an issue/inconvenience for me, but if a fix can be found it would be appreciated.
