Success, Yeah! Object Desktop CD with Window Binds 6 Enhaced arrived. I uninstalled WB 6 Beta from Stardock Central and unchecked that box: 'show prerelease' so I won't go through this again. Then installed Window Binds 6 Enhaced setup.exe directly from the CD. There was none of that moving junk this time. It must have finally been all moved. stardock is installed on D:\program files as C:\ is only Windows on a 36GB SCSI
More ammunition for staying away from Verizon/Comcast Head to Head: Verizon DSL vs. Comcast Cable at: http://www.scotsnewsletter.com/56.htm
I have called Verizon and Comcast every other month for eight years, they have no intention to make it available. So I also don't use Comcast for TV, I could but it's the against my grain. Rabbit ears for me. I could go Direct PC and that's it. I live in the country and wouldn't have it any other way. But my farm is up for sale and have no intention of getting the satellite connection until I move to Virginia. Where I will also need it with a 1/2 mile driveway of of a 1/2 mile priv
Well I archived WB6 with Stardock Central, took many hours. Then when I tried to restore from archive it showed WB6 Beta? Anyway I thought I would try it before ordering the Object Desktop CD with WB6 on it. Same problem as before, got stuck in this moving loop going no where. What's up with that? I let it run 3 hours before stopping the wbconfig process. I haven't tried the uninstall, I guess I'll uninstall Object Desktop and order a new CD. Cannot get the WB6 Cd as I have OB
vStyler: I had the same thing, only I had 73 items. For 15 hours and no progress!
Onestar: I had the same problem friday night 10/12 see my post as I didn't see yours. My WB5.5 was part of OD and was installed in D: that is why I couldn't understand the move. computer is really messed up now and am considering uninstall OD completely. I'll be watching your post until I decide what I want to do. Peter
Philly: sorry I didn't get back sooner. Ive been using FF. I just did uninstall Google toolbar at work and was able to download, read articles and go this forum without a problem. So when you surmised that GTB was the problem, i believe you were right on. thanks, peter
Mike: Thanks for the prompt reply. I guess my main problem is that I cannot remove WB6 at this point. Probably because it was only 95% installed. If I use Add/Remove in Control panel and remove Object Desktop will that work?? I ordered the CD for OD and never thought about doing the same for WB6 didn't think it would be that much of a problem.
Philly: Well I do have similar Addons at both locations. Mainly IESpell, GetRight, Adobe PDF (5.0 at home 8.1 at work), Google Toolbar, and Mcafee Site Advisor. I have a lot of other stuff at work Webex etc, but the worst connection was at home so I might install Firefox there and uninstall IE7. I have already done that at work once when the phising filter came out it drove me crazy until I turned it off. I have different Virus scanners and firewalls. Trend Micro Enterprise at work a
Philly: Definitely not a work isse. Probably should have never suggested it because it was such a long shot anyway. I found the problem this weekend. I forwarded the WinCustomize news letter home (Dial-up connection through www.bwave.com ISP)over the weekend I went to that article. It immediately choked with the same error. I tried to go to this forum and the page didn't even load before it choked. This tells me it is an IE7 issue. So this morning at work I opened that a
I am the IT person. As I said we are on a WAN of which we have no control. What is happening doesn't seem to me like a blockage from them that is why I am here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
This morning I got the Stardock News letter and i clicked on the article in the e-mail: this week in Skinning Week 1. by the time the web page loaded I got that error. I wasn't even downloading anything just trying to read the article.
No I am not the boss. However they have said they were blocking mp3, porn, web mail. I wouldn't think wincustomize qualifies. I have no trouble downloading wallpaper from National Geographic either. Besides they actually block the site and tell you so. With wincustomize it does that after I have downloaded one or two or sometimes on the first. but it doesnt say "Forbidden", just page not found.
From inside a WAN at work (DSL) I have considerable trouble staying connected to Wincustomize.com. I keep getting: "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site https://www.wincustomize.com/skins... Operation Aborted" and when I click on OK it closes showing Page Cannot be Opened. Windows XP Pro SP2 and IE 7.0. Is this due to our company WAN not allowing connection? They block all kinds of media downloads, but I usually don't have a problem with zip files. I like to download
