WB4 expired? and I am current subscriber?

yes it was and im pretty angry too.
Well dont you have an options part of the windowblinds program?
There you can change the options of the shell

You may want to check out the WB development newsgroup. Do you have the latest WB beta release? I think WB RC1 was released with instructions to update to it since the previous versions expire April 1.

where do i find the WB development newsgroup?

Use your newsreader to go to news.stardock.com. The various newsgoups are at that server address. Stardock's site used to have a link that would open your default newsreader and go to the newsgroups but I can't find it at the moment.

David...it's a plot against people with 2 heads......[I'm a King Islander, myself]...
Exactly how did losing WB 'stuff' your drives?
BTW...WB has nothing to do with your 'shell'. THAT is Explorer.exe [normally, or perhaps LiteSTEP.exe, like me].
WB simply provides a skin interface for the Windows.

If you need more 'local' help...I'm in Melbourne...just grab my email...

Same here... If I look in my Component Manager it says there is a 3.99a build available, but after I've downloaded it when I try to install it I get a "use Stardock Central yada yada" message. Funny thing though, when I fire up SC my login fails AND there's no version there higher than 3.90 listed. I REALLY thought I'd waited long enough to go ahead & buy OD, but so far I'm WAY less than impressed. I bought a (half-assed) Toon-XP to go with my new OD. No cursors, no logins... wow, really worth paying for, eh? I noticed that the new "for sale" suite has all those goodies. Lemme tell all you admins something, I'll NEVER buy another product from any of the above mentioned rip-off artists. It seems to me like NOBODY has a phucking clue. I'm a very unhappy camper.

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PEOPLE!!!

Grrrrrrr.......

Phydeaux_3, sounds like you've got an old version of Stardock Central. Some of the older betas gave me trouble with not updating the list. Download this version:

http://storage.stardock.com/files/stardockcentralrc1.exe

(I think it's still there, I dl'd it a few days ago, fixed up all my update problems)

Toon-XP was released early in the WB4 betas, so that is why it probably didn't have some of the newer goodies. Just a thot.

My WB said it expired also. No big deal, just downloaded the new version. As I haven't put SDCentral on my machine Componet Manager did a great job downloading and installing it. If you have SDCentral on your machine you will get that use sdc. Well use it then. Used it on my other machine and it downloaded it and installed it without a problem.

Phydeaux_3...watch your language.

Personal attack/insult will get you exiled.

Thanks Aschell The link you supplied to SDC RC1 fixed my WB4 update thanks Heaps:)

Phydeaux_3 it sounds like your aiming to recieve the final strike, as you were advised certain words won't help or get you anywhere but calm and collective will.

Take a break occupy yourself for a while and come back when you have a clear head

Do these people realize they're using alpha and beta software?

I would put a notice all over everything were I stardock, that says "HEY, IF YOU'RE NOT ADVANCED ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT BETAS MIGHT EXPIRE, AND ALPHAS AND BETAS MAY HAVE BUGS, PLEASE GO AWAY."

No, stark...cos then you'd get some clever 'dick' making snide comments ad nauseum....[naming no names]...

some people just want full (bug free etc) products at the snap of their fingers not considering what kind of work and effort goes into it. only way to avoid it is to not release Beta etc and just keep quiet until its finished, but i myself and many others like to keep constantly up to date on releases knowing at the end of it all there is going to be a fully working bug free product that you've had the pleasure of testing. My main Beta at the moment is AOL 8, yes it has bugs and sometimes unreliable but thats the chances i take knowing my imput in Q&A's im given from them is going to make it almost exactly the way i want it.

Main point is either wait or agree the chances and quit whining when you know what unfinished things are going to be like.

AOL 8 has already been released here, yes? I didn't know it was a beta still.

Has it?? i'll look into that, the cheek of it *sheesh*
