Windows Vista can't run Object Dock

Mar 23, 2009 2:34 AM by pipowafu Discussion: ObjectDock

I don't know if there are post of this kind already if so it would be a pleasure if you could provide me a link to that post. But anyway i have finally bought me a copy of Vista... erm Home Basic. First download from Stardock is Object Dock freeware... since it isn't very specific if it works exclusively for Vista Premium and up, i tried installing it. However when i try to run it, window says Object Dock stopped working. and so on. I reset the PC and re run OD but still, it stopped working. Am i having incompatibility issues here? if so how can i resolve it?

Post Script. Logon Vista isn't working as well..... [e digicons]v_v[/e] [e digicons]:S[/e]

Can't run windowblinds

Aug 15, 2007 5:35 AM by pipowafu Discussion: Skinning

I have installed the public version of WB on a new machine. However, everytime i run it, i get the message saying it is being blocked by an anti-spyware program......additionally, it provided me the option to run additional process which i did, but unfortunately, WB still doesn't work. So what i did was to uninstall AVG antispy and reinstalled windowblinds public. well guess what, i still get the same message....and i still choose the option to run additional processes and still, WB doesn't work. Is there something wrong with my machine? or what....any assistance would be very much appreciated Thank you so much guys

problem with a video device driver - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

Feb 16, 2007 4:44 AM by pipowafu Discussion: Personal Computing

Problem with a Video Device Driver <--click the link

I know I should have posted this in the Video Cards subtopic of this forums category but I get quicker responses here in the General area. So mods, if you would insist on transfering this topic to a more appropriate location, you may do so.

Anyway, just a few days ago i started experiencing this really annoying problem, (I guess whenever my screensaver starts up - im using Bliss screensaver). My screen freezes up. and then i have to wait for a minute or to for my PC to restart automatically. And when i log in i get a window saying "Windows has recovered from a fatal error...." the usual send error report buttons are present and Microsoft returns an error message saying there is a problem with my display driver... could anybody help me with this. I am using NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 as my display hardware. Should i update the driver? I already disabled Graphics acceleration and uncheck "Enable write combining." as per microsoft's suggested solution but i really would like to make full use of my PC's hardware acceleration feature, for obvious reasons (I am using windowblinds per pixel but I stopped using it when this problem started to pester me). Help me please. This has never happened before with my older PC.

Feb 9, 2007 8:28 AM by pipowafu Discussion: Personal Computing

Is there a way to make clear type as the default font rendering of my PC? (Im using XP which has cleartype disabled by default) OK so I already have set it in my own user account but everytime i log out or when I cold boot my computer, the fonts in the logon screen looks horrible when not rendered using cleartype... What can I do?

Running Two Anti Virus Programs at the same time

Feb 2, 2007 8:22 AM by pipowafu Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Any advice from the experts? I have Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition and AVG installed in my PC. Should i run both simultaneously or should I run only one of them? If you recommend the latter case, which of the two anti-virus programs I have should i keep active? Thank you so much.

SkinStudio Trouble with Maximize Caption Bar

help please

Aug 26, 2006 3:03 AM by pipowafu Discussion: Community

Ok so i know this isn't the right section to post this thread but i reckon this concern will attract those who are willing to help. It has been ignored in th Windowblinds Section :D

Something is wrong. I am attempting to create my first ever perpixel skin. everything is going so well with the skin but something is not right with the maximized window caption. when i apply the skin to test it, and when i maximize, say the "My Documents" window, the max caption bar can't be seen. all i see is the title text. even the window buttons are gone. Everything is fine with the rest of the window, the only problem is that max caption bar. What should I do?

I studied every single per pixel skin that i have, disected the max caption bar section in the UIS2 code and followed "verbatim" the specifications made with other skins. (Naturally i would be using Skinstudio to do that)However, it still doesn't resolve my problem. Please Help me...somebody, anybody... Thank you.
By the way I am using the free version of skinstudio and i do believe that it has the same function as that of the Professional version.

My 3 Windowblinds Wishes

Aug 17, 2006 3:29 AM by pipowafu Discussion: WindowBlinds

I wish that:

the blur effect can also be done with Transparent window borders(you see, it can be done with the transparent start menu). Wouldn't it be a great feature..

the oversized start button that looks great when the taskbar is at the bottom, would look the same way when the taskbar is at the top

the transparent window buttons' glow effect, would be as dramatic and subtle as that with those non-transparent window buttons (the way they do with WB4.6)

----------o0O

O0o---------

and finally, i wish that these most revered programmers from Stardock would have immortality so they can bring to all people of all digital ages their great talents and gifts....
