My Colors Issues

Hi,

Seabass here. So I have been digging through the forums reading the issues with the MyColors suites. I thought I would go for a change here and tell you what I know instead of asking all the time.

In almost every case when someone writes in with registration issues or downloading issues support is able to log into the account and proceed normally with no troubles. We are not at the location of the servers nor have privileged access to the downloads. Just to be sure I have done this on four machines at home as well.

So here is what we have been trying for everyone. We tell people to disable security software and some of the registrations issues go away. Downloading issues we ask that you uninstall, restart, reinstall and that clears some issues. We also tell people to update to 6.01 WindowBlinds so that there is no conflict with the theme managers (or to uninstall WB5 if you don't have 6).

However you might notice I am saying "some" for each of those fixes. If you are having the problems that are listed here please try out what I just mentioned.

So what we know is that these issues are occurring our on the customer computers and not our test computers. So all this brings me to my askance for help.

Please let me know the following in the same format I have listed here:

Operating System:
Video Card:
What MyColors Theme you are trying to apply:
Any security software you are currently using:

Any other skinning software of Stardock’s you have loaded (WindowBlinds most important to mention) and what version:

What version of mycolors you are running:

After that please let us know of any additional info you might have. Unlike most problems we just test like crazy until a solution is found. Since this seems to be taking place at home we need any info you can provide. We just want to have the best product out there possible for our customers.

In the interest of keeping this thread short and concise please keep it just to this subject.


Thank you in advance for all your help guys!

Seabass

I still cannot download my sins theme. I also have the authentication issues. For some reason, it worked after a lot of clicking. Now I have the sins wallpaper, but it keeps telling me that the download has failed. I cannot download or use the key for my free theme.

here's the system info mycolors gave me:

Windows XP (Personal) Build: 2600 Service Pack 2

Wblind.dll 01/22/2008 12:27:58 452424
Wbsrv.dll Unknown
Thememgr.exe 02/01/2008 16:53:34 595192
Wbload.exe 01/22/2008 12:28:00 379640
Wbload.dll 08/13/2007 18:11:18 59056
Screen.exe Unknown

I have AVG free, but uninstalling it did not fix the issue. I have windows firewall disabled. Also, I'm behind a trendnet router, but enabling DMZ does not seem to have fixed the issue.

Wooricflair please go into MyColors then select the settings tab. There hit the Check for Updates button. The update should download and install right away. Just to be safe restart your machine. If you still have troubles with the download please start at ticket with us at support@stardock.com. Please also referance this thread.

Tanks for the tip, but updating has not fixed the issues. Instead of instantly saying that the download has failed, it now says Download Waiting or Queued for 20 seconds then goes back to Download Failed. I still cannot edit/add registrations.

Seabass, mycolors is doing the same as what's happening to wooricflair. I have opened up a ticket, the ID is RGQ-758858. I've been looking forward to this theme for the last couple days and I'm hoping that this can be resolved real soon. Thanks
