Reply to Need My Activation Reset in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I’m still waiting for someone to answer my email regarding activation of DA and TA. If I try and activate I get the error and when I close the box my monitor shuts down for second then turns back on. I don’t see a display driver error but that’s obviously what it is. I’ve tried it 4 times and it’s done it every time.

Well it helped but it still crashes the display driver after a few minutes.

Your right, I just downloaded the 169.25 drivers I never installed them. So far so good no crashes yet, thanks.

Reply to TA crashes before the first turn in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm running the latest nvidia release 169.25 drivers. The monitor is a 21" viewsonic connected with BNC cables so the OS doesn't see the monitor. No problems with GC11 DL or DA, or any other games for that matter. Disabling windows defender let me play a few turns but the display driver still quit responding after a few minutes with the same last 5 debug entries.

Reply to WB6 is going to be a hard sell for Vista. in Vista Support Stardock Forums

I tried to clean up and installing again with no change. It still has numerous display bugs most are random like blank menus and explorer windows, some static like a thumbs plus transparent title bar even with WB set to ignore the app. I’ve tried re-installing TP no change. I don’t understand if it’s set to not skin TP why it’s affecting it at all. I must add that TP and WB have always had conflicts for me even with older versions of both apps and on several different computers. Setting

you mean ALL of the 18 cent a day they charge? I meant whether it’s worth the hassle not the money. I expect it to function as well as Aero. How does the aero UI manage not to conflict with so many programs? I’ve been using WB since version 3 so I am disappointed that it’s not better now but I haven’t given up. Hopefully they will iron out enough bugs to make it better than aero. What apps are using

WB6 is going to be a hard sell for Vista. in Vista Support Stardock Forums

WindowBlinds was a major improvement over the bland UI in XP so we put up with a lot of display anomalies and conflicts. However it really only offers variety over Vista’s Aero. After installing WB6 in Vista64 there were the usual dozen or so apps that I had to tell WB6 to ignore to prevent problems. And what sucks with that in vista is some of these apps now use standard windows 98 UI, a huge step back. It would not let an anti-spam module from Eset load and completely erased the titl

Reply to "out of memory"-crash. (DA 1.6 beta 4) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm experiencing the same "out of memory" issue, and no it's not Alzheimer's, It started after the build before last but before that there was the nvidia driver bug that would lock up temporarily, but that was fixed by nvidia’s next release but now it’s back with a vengeance. Now it ether locks up and I have to Alt Tab, that;s when I see the “out of memory” error, or DA just shuts down about every 15 minutes. I get a little warning this time, when the ship explosions become a white box

Reply to Can't access wincustomize website.... in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

It's been several days since I've been able to download anything as well. I flushed the dns and was able to ping "images.stardock.com" but no luck with "www.wincustomize.com" It did this once before and resolved itself after a couple of weeks. So I'll wait another week before I go down there and crack some heads

Well that's why I run several apps that prevent such things. I have YET in 3+ years to be hijacked. That may have more to do with your surfing habits and luck than your security programs. Point was browser hijackers are the number one reason people stop using IE. The latest variants are very hard to get
