Turns out I had a bad OS install. Re-installed WinXP, and everything now works fine. Thanks for your assistance.

Only firewall is Windows. It does not affect download - I received SDCZip.dll w/o problem. Have tried to d/l and install apps with Object Desktop with and without Counterspy running. No difference. The insall ALWAYS says unable to locate SDCZip.dll on my computer. Don't know if this matters but the system details are: eVGA nForce 780 SLI MB, one eVGA 8800GT video card, three SATA hard drives in RAID 0 setup using motherboard RAID controller, SoundBlaster x-FI, and Intel 6700 quad core CPU, 2G

AVG Free and CounterSpy, however, I have tried using the Stardock Central Object Desktop app with and without CounterSpy running - it makes no difference. AVG runs all the time.

I ended up completely uninstalling Stardock Central, then rebooted, re-downloaded it, and reinstalled it. Interestingly, it did install, BUT it gave the same message that it was unable to load SDCZip.dll. So, I assume, if it isn't finding SDCZip.dll when it installs, then it will not be able to open it when another application (ie Windowblinds) is downloaded. This really looks to be a bug in the Stardock installation file. Is there anyway to download, install, and register the individual app

I forgot to mention, I'm running Windowa XP.

I just purchased the object desktop package and attempted to install WindowBlinds. Every time I try to install it using StarDock Central It fails and I get the following message - "There was an error installing WindowBlinds 6. SDCZIP.DLL was not found on your computer. Please reinstall Stardock Central to correct this problem." I have reinstalled Stardock repeatedly and it makes no difference. As for SDCZIP.dll it is, in fact, on the computer in the follwoing directories: C:\Pr
