Brian and Jason have a lot more experience with games than most people, too, which makes it interesting to hear what they have to say. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Mike

Yeah, archiving is great, and I wished more digital downloading services did it. You can just throw those onto a cd/dvd and preserve your software forever. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] CursorFX and ObjectDock are two applications our marketing department for years has chosen to keep separate from the Object Desktop package. As an Object Desktop subscriber, you are eligible for discounts, however... Mike

[quote]does not have keys for any non-Stardock games...There is something wrong[/quote] Actually, this is as intended.

This feature requires an account with admin access. Unfortunately when that kind of thing happens, there's really no other way around it. You might be able to trick it into running ObjectDock as one of your admin users, but that would require some third-party app intervention. One of my favorite apps, psexec, is capable of that: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx Mike

Serial numbers for products you've purchased (when needed) will actually be kept within your Impulse account for fraud prevention purposes. If you need to access your serial number to any product you own, just launch Impulse ( http://impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup_full.exe ), click the question mark at the top right, and click "Register a product with Impulse." From here, you can right click any product and are able to copy your serial number (which you can then paste using Ctrl+V at

Yep, at this point you can only use Stardock Central to restore archives. See this thread for a detailed guide: https://forums.stardock.com/369437 Mike

There are gift cards available that can be used as mastercard/visa cards (prepaid credit cards). You should have no trouble using something like this in our store. If you do use this route, you will want to be sure the information the financial institution has associated with that card matches up with your own information (name, billing address, etc). Mike

I've found the in-game tutorial to be good[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] At some point after I watched this in its entirety, I found it to be very beneficial. Mike Edit: hmmm... was I really idling in this thread that long??

Do you have icons hidden? Right click the desktop -> View, and be sure "Show desktop icons" is enabled. Otherwise, right click on the desktop, click "Customize Desktop", click the "Web" button and be sure everything is unchecked here. Mike p.s. I'll save Neil the need to blow his own horn -- DeskScapes is great . [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Manu: Yes, this will be available in French. As long as your OS is in French, you should be good. The system is broken at the moment, but the Impulse team is working on that. Mike

[quote]Did you guys see what M$ and Remedy said about Alan Wake? LOL[/quote] Yeah, too bad about that one. I was really looking forward to playing that on the PC. While there most certainly are games that are a better fit for consoles/controllers (arcade, shmup, certain platformers, or anything making use of proprietary controllers, of course), I do all my dedicated gaming on my PC. Sure, the keyboard and mouse are multi-purpose, but in most games, it really helps hav

If it's a video dream you're concerned about, you can just use "Stretch" or "Fit" option located under the "Background Settings" section. Mike
