I have OD and a few months ago I tried to use either BootXP or LogonStudio Vista. I'm thinking that I didn't have problems with the logon screens, but when I tried to use BootXP on my Vista system I ended up having to do system restore. In fact, Vista just automatically did it because I couldn't start up. So I uninstalled both BootXP and LogonStudio Vista. Now I have tried to go back to using LSV --- but when I try to open the program, i get an error:



But once I click ok, the program does...

H, so I install the new update (IP 3.99) and lo and behold, there is no longer an icon packager icon in the control panel running under a limited account. It was fine before 3.99So, in other words, icons will only change under an acocunt with admin rights thus far. My icon packages did move to the all users folder though.Any ideas on what can be done? I may just go back to the older version.Thanks.

Well I believe this is another case of my hitting keys before reading. DOH. 

I did a clean up and I'm thinking I managed to delete something I needed.  I know, how could that ever happen.  

The following is what I get when I try to run SoundPackager.  I know, pictures tell the story way much easier.   



 



I can't remember how to get to the actual error report or I would post that.

I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled using ...

In the past, I described some possible Exposé- and Concentrate-like effects that could be added in an update to WindowFX, especially for Vista. (See http://forums.stardock.com/166992.) Now, I'd like to broach the subject of an update for Virtual Desktops, which perhaps dovetails nicely with WindowFX effects.

Consider the following screenshot from a program called Yodm3d forVista (courtesy of the How-To Geek) -- It's similar to what you might find on a Linux or Mac OSX box:


Or how about C...

When I run A virus scan with AVG It reconises that The following Files Have been changed...

Shell32
Wsock32
Kernell32
User32
Ntoskrnl32

I figure that this is the doing of certain Software that is part of object desktop,....But of course I want to be safe and make shure that it is object desktop and not a virus.

Thank you.

According to both SDC and Impulse, I currently have version 3.99 installed. The history section on SDC states there is a new user Interface involved but I'm still seeing the old interface. In the Help - About section of IP, it states I have 3.00 and in the Help - History section, the last build mentioned is 3.20. I've tried using both the Iconpackager.exe and Iconpackager64.exe but both give me the same interface. My OS is Vista Ultimate 64.

I bought a Object Desktop last year that has since run out. I thought the deal was that I could get updates to my software until my subscription ran out but it seems I can no longer download Windowblinds 6 at all and I am limited to downloading a shareware version of WindowBlinds 4.

Anyone know how this is suppose to work, when my subscription ends do I no longer have the ability to download the latest update available at the time my subscription ended???

I just re-formatted my system and ...
i don't know what happened, but they won't load anymore.  dreamscenes work fine, deskcapes won't display at all.  i have uninstalled/reinstalled as well.  using the latest beta version.

any ideas?

As near as I can tell with mostly casual check but it appears my Vista pc won't sleep with Dreams running.  I suppose that is understandable considering what it does, but I would like to use Dreams yet still have the ability to have it go to sleep when I'm not using it.
Perhaps its simply a tweaking of the power settings?  Otherwise I may have to stop using Dreams

I was just wondering if anyone knew where i can go to find out what all the sounds that are available to customize mean. Like What CCselect and APPGP fault? I know most of them but I dont know what the rest are so I never apply sounds to those events? I dont even know if those events happen offten and I am missing out on an opportinity to have a even more complete sound package? Any Ideas Of how to find out. I know It varrys from user to user sometimes but just the ones entered by Windows.
