updated without a hitch

Images............, IIIMAGES PLEASE!!!!

..or i wont update   

Was gonna say that myself. Pics 4 proof.

I wonder why the standalone setup file is so much larger (at 23 Mb) than the one for version 6.02 (at 17 Mb)? There doesn't seem to be that much more stuff in it.

Updated thru Impulse...no problems. Seems that everyone reporting this issue updated thru SDC. Just an observation.

Update- Tried this yet again. Same issue. Rebooted, but then let it install through sdc (although the files/folder was there anyway) After 2nd install, rebooted, wbconfig in sys tray was able to start...but.... All of my darned skins were lost! I had 4 total after all of that.

Well after a few tries I got WB6.1 to run. I ran the update from Impulse and that didn't go exactly as planned. I told it that I wanna reboot later, which I usually do with any programs or updates that needs a reboot. So after manually reboot, WB tells me I gotta reboot again. Did that. Same thing happens. I tell it to go to Process mode or something and it doesn't work. I uninstalled it, reboot, installed WB6.1, and it runs. Then rebooted once more to make sure everything runs and is loaded/installed correctly and it seems to be smooth sailing from there. Now I have another problem... but that's for a different product altogether so I'll post that elsewhere. I can't comment on the new features in 6.1 but so far so good. Now if I can just get Windows to load my wallpaper correctly... (I want my Horo background dang it!)

my advise on this latest update is to stear well clear of it.i experienced most of the above problems,but in the end had to do a restore to get W/Bs to work again.Not very impressed with SDC at the moment.

New Start button feature on my current WIP. Great Job Neil

This was not a fun upgrade. I did the upgrade through SDC, and I lost wbconfig. I figured that had to be some kind of bug, so I checked this post and found out I wasn't alone. I opened SDC again and saw that it showed that WB wasn't even installed, so I installed it, then rebooted. When the WB configuration window opened after rebooting, I'd apparently lost all of my skins, only 4 were showing. I was just about beside myself, because I had so many skins, and I didn't want to spend hours reinstalling them. So I decided to take a chance and I uninstalled WB, rebooted, then reinstalled WB. The good news is that this install was much different from the first, it took a lot longer and seemed to be doing everything it needed to do. Then I rebooted again, the configuration window came up, and voila, all of my skins were now visible. But none of them would load right...I still basically had Windows Classic showing, no matter what I did and which skin I tried applying. I had a moment of wondering if this upgrade was making WB useful for only Vista (I am a stubborn gal who's holding onto XP until I have no choice), so decided to do a System Restore and roll everything back. I only had a System Checkpoint to choose from, so I told System Restore to roll back to that checkpoint. When it rebooted, it told me it couldn't restore anything because there had been no changes to my computer. But suddenly WB was working just fine. I opened SDC and saw that I did indeed have the most recent version installed. So breathed a sigh of relief, and it looks like everything is okay. But boy oh boy, this upgrade was a MESS to get through. Other people who see this thread before upgrading might want to wait until the bugs are worked out.

Do you have Norton antivirus? Norton has to be turned off for the system restore to work. The new Norton protects itself and doesn't allow any changes to be made. If you have Norton let me know through this thread and I'll write how to turn it off in case you need to use system restore again.

Well, I spoke too soon! When I went to change to a different skin, it crashed my computer! So, I have gone back to the previous version of WB 6...and, will not try to update again until Stardock fixes whatever is wrong here.
