H'i Tell me( hand on heart people) Has anyone got these programs to work as they should do! I waited a long time for my old computer to die then, with a bit more horsepower,i could get my hands on Objectdesktop. Something that i had longed for, beatiful state of the art desktops,make your own design,super icons lots of goodies to make windows much improved.How wrong can you be! After parting with $60 dollers,i find only three work Theme manager just about works,Icon packager works when it feels like it Skinstudio works but with such obscure help fies what are supposed to do with it? Then when i run through the forums and see what trouble everyone else has,the only help i got from stardock central was ( download it it must be a corrupt file) Been there, done it,got the electric bill.I feel really let down.However thanks to all who tried to help. Perhaps i'll try to get it working,but have run out of ideas!

I just got XP, and everything is happy (I had the DX probby too). NOT A SINGLE CRASH YET!!!! Also havnt needed to reboot yet, and with 98se I had to do so ~40 times a day. The $89 was well spent. Will never regret it!

Citizen David Parfitt ... comparing the 2 OSs.....ME and XP....you have opposite ends of the functional scale.

ME is arguably the worst operating system ever devised by MS....if it were still being developed it 'might' almost be safe to release in a few years...

XP on the other hand is usually argued as either better than, or as good as Win 2000....one or the other being the best MS OS ever.

I found thar 2000 had issues with device drivers, where XP did not....so for me XP is best.

Your best bet is to install XP...though you will need a bit more ram.....256 isn't really sufficient....

hate it too and it was a long time before I switched over to XP from Win9x, but that hate only stems from its butt-ugly gui and ODNT does quite a good job killing it


You don't need ODNT to change the way XP looks. First thing I do after a new install is reset the look of everything to classic.

everything to classic.

XP vs. 2000....XP does a better job running older Win9x and MS-Dos apps.
