Um the recycle works fine for me and havent had telnet (outside my router) for decades anyway. My sole issuews are startmenu and systray bypasing startmenu by not even having it on object bar... and use the windows key when needed instead. on systray, it puts the open apps in systray, but none of the classic systray icons (unlike the 32bit systray that puts most of them in a box in a docklet. &nb

Well for me.. 2.0 might very well be the value I am hoping it could be. however if the free version is still crippled...that may cchange things. I never bother trying software that is crippled in some way that makes it unlikely to determine value. Time limit crippling is fine..that does affect functionality only how long u can use it. Disabling a major part of the product makes it unlikely to buy because one has to trust that it wi

I bet it depends on context. Im still runing Windows 3.1 games on my Vista 64... and yes they were mostly games.. but still work perferctly. Excluding games I still have a handfull of apps Im still using running, and have never failed me. Others failed in terms of directx or similar (some would succeed with tricks of changes to files it used. Others woudl require hacks or replacement over time. My oldest favorite is classic Startrek (Jaworsk

Ive been using VistaStartmenu almost since i started using stardock... It does the job, though i would still prefer a complete replacement of the 'windows' start menu' still. As far as 64bit veruss 32bit.. On my 64bit quadcore vista64 system with 6gig, I have a huge amount of 32bit and older applications running and much of it with no customization at all... I even have some old windows 3.1 still... and even older stuff

Same here till the fix stuff. As it is, 3rd party nonstardock startmenu's can be used instead to give one the same capability. Stardock cant claim it cant be done, there are dozens of alternatives and I use one of them now as a startmenu alternative.

For me I wont consider paying for object dock at all till I see the stuff working and that includes whatever I use for weather. So far, the free version is cool but some elements are not quite there.. and until they do it right my boss's company wont bother getting them to do a 'dell dock' like corporate version for them.... like stardock did for DELL. Shame, seems Stardock isnt wanting additional income. <

No, not neccessarily. To run on 64bit its not a requirement that it be in 64bit. Properly written code will work on 64bit even if its windows 3.1 applications. I should know Im actually still running both games & apps from those days.. including some I wrote myself. But then my stuff has always worked on every platform since the begginning. Agreed that if I have a 64bit app I

Plus obama ignores the reality of how israel not only was founded by international agreement but that Israel as a country bought most of the land they call israel and won via war the rest and via that its Israels. And that for whatever reason many ignore the reality that Israel is a nuclear capable country and can return nukes on any country that destroys them .. Ie; even if israel is wiped out, the country that does it wiil be wiped out ove

NOte on my above rant... I myself can run write and create a 64bit startmenu alternative and am about 60% complete while using alternatives so any talk that it cant be done is bogus. There are a lot of 32bit apps that work fine on 64bit ... (well written code usually can be).. As it is, yes the startmenu alternatives are missing some stuff I still want... but its ok for now. Reality is I might give up on stardock and look at either it

Lets hope they continue doing improvements. As it is, tehre are alternatives to the 'startmenu' and even the systray problems of objectdock. I decided to either dump objectdock or find alternatives for at least the above two Found vistatartmenu that gives me a very nice alternative and works..and im using the icon that objectdock had for startmenu. IM now lookign for systray alterantives to add aas a docklet Note Im vista 64 and would rather dump obj

well...im doing a workaround as I expected. Im using the objectdock icon.. to run 'vistastartmenu' which gives me some of that startbar like usage. and so far seems good enough. Ie; meaning that u dont ahve to wait on startdock to do the start btn yourself... Shame on stardock, they could easily get it done based on what this guy did... Btw my system is 64bit Vista home Premium. No problems except systray now. (so far).<

The above about hacking od to make it work... Ok, yes its wrong... but when a application in fact doesnt work...then all the issues are moot. if a application is stated as not compatible but somebody comes up with a work aaround...then so be it. The law wont protect non-working aspects of existing product. Ie if one person creates something but the something is not working ...but somebody else makes it work. Thats ok. <p

well reading all these notes about the startmenu issue..makes me think .. Im now considering uninstalling objectdeck and going back to regular old taskbar. I love startdock and related but if they cant do this, then its not worth the time or effort. Reason is that there is enough functionality needed from that to continue using the old taskbar. SHame... but will at least look at alternatives... but I hear they too cant do startmenu

well for me... until some of these things are fixed...the existing way is still better. Yes I want objectdock to fully work on vista64. Until the start menut and other items are working i have to keep both objectdock and taskbar going. Another is that i use various pgms where u pop them up via systray, (ie not run another instance). I cant do that with objectdock... Oh well, so close yet so far.</
