Ok, so I removed all trace (incl settings!) of Stardock products and started again. ObjectDesktop dies very fast, same fault as before - gets as far as drawing this window: Fences 4 - individual install, went flawlessly. Works fine. It appears I can use individual programs, just not the Object Desktop manager. I have no extra information in that regard. Pe
[quote who="sdRohan" reply="4" id="3899517"]Well, something is killing it, however, that could take time to find and resolve.

Someone else will know.
