Theme Manager 3.0 (Published at 11am)
Deskscapes 2.5 (with XP support published at 1pm)
Bootskin Pro 1.0 (published at 6:30pm)
WindowBlinds 6.3 (published on 11/18/2008)
When will you be coming out with a WinXP 64bit addition cause I do not want to downgrade to vista when my system run 10x faster then vista ?¿?
Stardock has dropped support for XP x64. No further development will be done on this platform. I would suggest updating to 64 bit Vista or Windows 7.
Been looking for instructions on how to install Deskscapes! Thanks!

Just do it through Impulse.
What's the need for the link to the Candida test, alexis0fdreams? *edit: Thanx, Mod!
IDK
Service Pack 2 of XP or Vista? System Reqs for Object Desktop can be found here:

Just click on "System Requirements".
My apologies if this has already been discussed in this thread, but I'm not going to have much time anytime soon to go through the whole thing...
I can only get a few programs from the Object Desktop package to install. I am certain I'm only trying the ones that are compatible with my OS (Windows 7 64 bit).
The ones that do install seem to work perfectly and I'm enjoying them (Fences Pro, LoginStudio, Icon Packager).
The ones that don't install, in every case it goes through most of the install routine, then hangs with the "Installing" indicator in the status column, the "working" icon turning, and there is no apparent way to get it to stop (I have left it running overnight with the same result). I can "X" out of Impulse after a few tries, and after that, the program sometimes appears as "installed," but will not run. Any attempt to remove the "broken" program--using either Impulse or Control Panel--results in the uninstall also hanging. The only way to get rid of it seems to be to do a system restore. I have tried this with Windowblinds 7, Sound Packager, and Rightclick Menu.
The first time I tried to install Windowblinds 7, my virus program, Threatfire, did trigger when it tried to install x86.exe...I instructed it to ignore and allow the install to proceed. I have since tried these installs both with and without Threatfire running, with no apparent difference.
My system specs, if it matters:
Intel Core 2 Duo
nVidia GTX 260M
6GB RAM
boeckman: please contact support@stardock.com so we can get more information about your setup.
Zargon. With regards to Theme Manager not closing correctly I have tracked the problem down to trying to load Deskscapes. When loading Descapes all I get is the torch searching and Descapes does not load any dreams. After closing Theme Manager the process is still working in the background using about 50% of the CPU. I have Intel E6750 installed. Could this be because I have a lot of dream files installed. They are installed in the default location, Documents\Stardock\Dreams.

Hi there. I purchased Object Desktop last year when I had Windows XP 32-bit. Now I shifted to Windows 7 64-bit and Impulse does not allow me to restore my archives saying they were not compiled for this OS. On the other hand I don't have access to my existing purchases from the Impulse Store because my subscription has expired.
Isn't there a means for me to have my purchased versions compatible with my current OS without having to buy it over again?
If you click on "My Account" towards the top left of this page, right underneath "Welcome sursubbu", then click on the "Registrations" tab (furthest on the right), do you see your software listed with 2 download links (one is Impulse and one is the Object Desktop exe)? Not sure if that would work after expiration but thought it would be worth a shot. Also not sure exactly when the various components of OD became Win7 compatible.
I just upgraded from WinXP to Win7x64. I am sad to lose WindowsFX because I lived by the use of live Window Tiles. I used it constantly. Will this functionality be recreated in another part of Object Desktop? PLEASE...
I also used IconX. Have these functions moved to another part of OD?
Also, I installed RightClick and noticed I could not find the menu when I right clicked the desktop. I played around and found that if I right click the desktop and get the Windows menu, then right click the taskbar (with the Windows menu still up), I get the RightClick menu. I have yet to get the RighClick menu to work with clipboard though.
A new WindowFX is currently under development. It will not have all the features of the XP version, but it should have window tiles.
Many thank!
