[quote]What codecs do I need? Where do I get them? The Dynamic dreams work fine, the others tell me I need a codec. HELP!!!![/quote] Please see this page for answers to your codec question.
[quote]It was mentioned earlier in another comment that you were getting direct support for ATI AGP cards in XP. Are you doing the same with nVidida AGP in XP?[/quote] Good question! We have observed adequate performance with NVIDIA out of the gate, but are still asking them to tune their drivers. Stay tuned.
[quote]Desktop Collage dream, which has been sort of updated now, but fails in most areas, including stopping working after 10mins [/quote] This has been fixed now. Please redownload from WinCustomize.
[quote]So no word on when those of us who do not live in the centre of the universe called the us, are going to be able to use Bootskin? Mind you what can you expect when we have been waiting 18mths plus for a fix for an purchased app. that has yet to materialise, why do we even bother giving you our money.[/quote] What fix are you referring to?
[quote]And on a sidenote, why is the icon for email the same as the one for the controlpanel in the aero midnight iconset? Doesn't really make sense.[/quote] We know about this and will update it in the future.
[quote]ohh i see now blahhh that sucks thanks anyways i was really hoping it was going to be a free version too[/quote] There will be a Bootskin (non-Pro, i.e. Free version) out in the near future. Currently it is available to our Object Desktop customers.
[quote]So any news as to when Bootskin will work for those who dont live in usa[/quote] We are working on this today and will hopefully have a fix soon.
[quote]DX9 is installed, and I have a number of codecs installed using that Decoder Checkup Utility. My perfered codec is the Intervideo Video Decoder. After selecting that and restarting my PC, still nothing. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you for the help![/quote] La Forge, Please try selecting the Microsoft MPEG Decoder instead of your Intervideo.
[quote]I just went to the Explore tab in the latest Impulse beta and selected the Free programs. There lies LogonStudio Vista. I hit the "Add to account" button and it asked for my e-mail address. Then I hit the "Register" button. The response was a screen informing me that "The product you are requesting is not available for free registration." Something seems amiss. Magus [/quote] We will look into this today.
[quote]Is it supposed to be just a static picture, with no animation? If so, what's the point?[/quote] Is the animation important to you? Most users like having a custom image and just find the animation gets in the way.
[quote]Yet another update......still not working...try fixing it once and for all, and don't release programs until they are fully functioning, particulary when people pay good money for same. I acturally paid to extend my subscription into 2010 to get just this unworkable program...what an absolute fool I was.[/quote] Ian, We will make Bootskin work for all users as quickly as possible. There have been a few different issues (not just one) we have been addres
[quote]3. I don't use "website guides" to disable OS functions which have been deemed "unecessary" by some gamer. [/quote] Monk - right on. One of the issues that keeps poping up is due to the fact that users are disabeling Windows automatic root certificate update. Is this a standard practice in gaming forums that recommend tuning for performance? Basically to disable anything that says "automatic update"? It sounds like that is the case. So, in resp
[quote]there was an error while applying,thats what bootskin pro keeps coming up with on any of the themes I try to apply in the app 1.00.035 on impulse the version reads 1.00.037?[/quote] Skibadee, If you are on a non-English Windows client we are aware of the issue and working on it to hopefully publish a fix for tomorrow.
[quote]ThemeManager issue with applying the Blind has been resolved...Thank you very much[/quote] Glad to hear it! You are most welcome. Enjoy the Aero Midnight theme.
[quote]Flawless install. Everything running beautifully here.[/quote] Great to hear PJDark. What version of Windows XP/Vista are you using?
[quote]I just updated to Bootskin Pro 1.00.037 and I'm still getting the error message....Vista Home Premium x64: US English... UAC off.\ Also tried running as administrator... no go there either.[/quote] Are you using a non-English version of Windows? There is a known issue with non-English Vista versions that we are working to repair tomorrow.
[quote]I submitted a support ticket with Stardock support but I have yet to hear back.[/quote] I will talk to support in the morning for you La Forge.
[quote]I purchased OD 2008 Ultimate (upgrade ver) I installed all the apps included Soundpackager using IMPULSE. Soundpackager installed and activated just fine, but when I updated to ver 1.1.0.025 now it is asking for activation again. Also IMUPULSE reads ver 1.1.0.25 is installed but when I check the ver in Soundpackager welcome screen, it reads ver 1.0.0.0. What gives? I tried to activate by using my OD ULTIMATE serial and I get this messsage: Maximun activations reached. I don't get it. I
[quote]Hi. I keep reading these threads and I can't find anyone who is having my problem. I am running on XP, and my Impulse says that Deskscapes is available, but when I click it it is not compatible with my operating system. I do have the latest impulse (at least I think I do) and I do have the Theme Manager. Does anyone have any suggestions? Jason[/quote] Jason, Please try going into the blue orb (top left, click on it, it is big and .. well .. blue) and click on preference
[quote]It seems Theme Manager was updated on 11/20 - and that release fixed the issue I had with trying to apply the Windowsblind portion of Suites and Themes - hope it worked for others as well. Thanks for the quick response Stardock![/quote] Glad to hear this worked for you! You are welcome and enjoy Aero Midnight and Object Desktop! :-)
[quote]Thanks for all of your help and sorry your are so swamped. I clicked "yes" and dreams that came with DeskScapes work fine, and no high cpu usage. At least for now my nVidia GeForce 7300GT AGP 8X card with 512Mb and DirectX9.0c seem to be fine. Here is a shot of task manager performance.[/quote] That is great news! Thank you very much for providing us with that feedback! Enjoy Deskscapes!
[quote]I have the same problem with registration being invalid after data refresh. OD Ultimate subscriber on Vista Ultimate x64 here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter[/quote] Peter, Please contact support@stardock.com about your issue. We need sensative account information to solve your problem. Thanks.
[quote]@Stardock/Zargon; I don't think we're suppose to have the "Edit Application (Admin)" link in the right click menu are we?[/quote] We were testing with your account. Nice eyes! You have been demoted. ;-)
[quote]I hate to bring bad news, but.... Just incase it's not a temporary or intentional thing: I lost Bootskin Pro entirely now. (Object Desktop Ultimate subscriber)[/quote] I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your first sentence.. ;-) Thanks. I also appreciate you bringing it to our attention. You should see it now. This happened when we were adding Bootskin Pro to the Object Desktop (non-Ultimate) accounts.
[quote]However Bootskin Pro did not show as needing an update so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled I got the same version again 1.00.027[/quote] Do you see 1.00.035
