[quote who="Bichur" reply="9" id="2377238"]maybe doing a " sfc /scannow " or equivalent or a repair?[/quote] Well, sfc did make "repairs", but it reset the themes for Logon Studio and BootSkin. It also broke the Windows theme engine. Which version of Fences am I running now? Well, the installer now ran, but it won't take affect. [e digicons]>:([/e] [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] Somewhere, it stopped the install after requesting a reboot.

BTW: It turns out that there is a work around for those that run into this issue. When I turned CursorFX off and then back on, it works correctly for a while. I do have to repeat that every so often, but in the mean time... [e digicons]:S[/e]

[quote who="mickeko" reply="9" id="2365088"]If you right click on the Documents link on the start menu and choose properties you have a tab named "location" (or something like that, I'm using a swedish vista, so it's "Plats" for me ), from there you can reassign the location of it as you see fit.[/quote] Actually, I prefer to have multiple locations so all programs see the folder. The hard link solution I found allows that. But it doesn't explain why Object Dock can't fin

[quote who="Shirley" reply="6" id="2368903"].NET 2.0 is required on XP where it is not installed by default. It should already be installed on Vista, as up through version 3 is included with it. If you get prompted to install on Vista, or on an XP system where .NET is installed already, most likely .NET is corrupt on the system and needs to be repaired.[/quote] So how would I do that?

The affected cursors are the I-beam in the XML editor text fields and all cursors over an object in the main window with the select tool selected. Could you work with the Inkscape people to implement a fix? I verified that CursorFX is involved by turning it off.

Please see the image at right. I am running Vista 64-bit SP1. I presumably already have .NET 3.5. I tried to install 2.0 just in case, but ran into problems. First the link in the dialog is for 32-bit OSes. Second, the 64-bit .NET 2.0 SP1 version out there doesn't install on Vista

[quote who="Ausvet" reply="3" id="2320072"]I would uninstall/cclean/reboot/reinstall object dock after making backups of all its folders first - unhide all folders - in programdata, program folders etc. Set its preferences locations etc with the new install then copy stuff back to rebuild your previous folder hierarchy.[/quote] Well, I tried that--twice. I still get that dialog. I can now access the images, but the dialog still appears.

Actually, Impulse might not be needed. All you need is forum software with the option to send e-mails upon thread activity. Mods and Admins might check a option to send an e-mail on any forum activity. These system don't require you to publicize your e-mail address.

All I did was resize and move the partition down. The drive letter is the same (although Windows got confused there and that might not have helped, that is fixed). ObjectDock seems to be checking some sort of physical location rather than drive letter. The image folder in question is the one inside My Documents. For me, that has always been a seperate partition rather than on my boot partition. I run Windows Vista 64-bit SP2. Can someone help? If I

One other detail: For programs that are availble as both freeware and paidware (like CursorFX), please make the free version full featured for 30-days or so. Without that, I have no way to decide if it is worthwhile paying extra for what I don't even get to try out now. You make the sale with demonstrations, not handicapped software.

Intellipoint does appear to be a workaround, but not without problems. It doesn't reverse the buttons at the driver level. As a result, until my desktop is mostly loaded, I have a right-handed mouse in my left hand. It can be troublesome knowing which button to use in the meantime. Same problem happens during shutdown. If there is a dialog that pops up like a program won't respond, I might get the wrong button. I did figure out how to use the WinCustomize

Check for updates to themes, not just programs. This might require themes (including things like icon sets for Object Dock) to include info that allows the update software to find the theme on WinCustomize. APNG/MNG support -- These PNG variants offer built-in animation. This would allow Windows, at least with something that helps it thumbnail the file, to preview the animation. It also would allow animated previews on WinCustomize (see next item). <li

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="5" id="2303317"]While I don't know if OD2.0 will fix this,at least one other user eliminated the problem by using a proper left-handed mouse, or his Setpoint software. It was in THIS thread...or you could start a new thread and ask other left handers what they do. It's just a thought. Good Luck.[/quote]Well, I am trying IntelliPoint. It's a MS mouse, so... I haven't wanted to install IntelliPoint for a while as I considered it redundant.

Ditto here. I have a MS mouse, but haven't liked IntelliPoint in a while as it does the button switch at a level where the software gets closed before anything else, leaving me with a right handed mouse in my left hand. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

So is someone coming up with a fix? I used RocketDock for a while with XP. My main problems with it were that it had fewer widgets (but organized the download site better than WinCustomize) and was VERY sensitive to drags. Other than that, I consider them to be very similar.
