From now on I will only used pirated versions of this software, you will never see another penny from me again. Never!! Also I will tell others where to get it for free.

Have a nice day

Even though I'm a subscriber, I myself this morning was introduced with ads and download limitations as well.


I had the same experience last week. I emailed support and received a prompt reply, but the problem had fixed itself a shortly before that.

Patience is mandatory!

Welllll, I was fence sitting -- I really don't need much from your site, though I own a complete copy of Object desktop & renew faithfully, (...and by the way stardock, I am still waiting for your sales to tell me why I can't download a copy of something I purchased along w/inital subscription... 2 yrs ago CustSupport said they'd investigate & get back to me, but no hurry -- I am the patient type I am ), but payday is Friday and good ol' preser has moved me to buy a sub. to Wincustomize, so he has done some good!

Great site improvements, BTW. Makes me wish I could find more things I could use... but that's another story.

BTW, how do you guys get the quote-box? I have a visual handicap, and it really helps.
I hope you guys can read this, the "preview" option in the advanced editor has black letters on black field. I tried setting the font color to green, but it didn't help...

Thanks, but I'm reading this in Stardock Central, so under "View" there is no "Text size", (unless I'm missing it...wouldn't be the first time  ). I just use nvidia's magnifyer, splitting my desktop to two 21" monitors. When I mouse-wheel, everything grows bigger excepting the "Reply * Quote" in the right corner. Oddly enough, I've never visited the site in Firefox or IE, because I'm lazy and would doubtless have to log-in manually...   .

Thanks, it was only $5 or $8, so I've not really followed-up... and I really like Stardock - with the right skin my PC so much easier to use (I'm legally blind) - I simply figured that the time spent by an employee to track down the problem would be in excess of the value. Having once owned my own business, I can relate to cash flows...  

I might resend the info abt the purchase, but after 1.5 yrs, I frankly don't see the point. I only mentioned it as a point of humor. If anyone took it as a serious indictment I deeply appologize.

That's why it's better to just get ObjectDesktop for $50, it's a way better value. Buying the components separately would easily run over $150.

Some people aren't bright, and some people don't notice things. When you paid for your account, did you bother to sign in?

I purchased stardocks object desktop pack, and I was wanting to download unlimited things but thought I had a limit... well, truth be told, all I needed to do was actually sign into the site and walla! Instant downloading pleasure!

...

But...

I'd see no point in helping you, you ungrateful cretin. "I'm going to report this!" And you didn't even try to figure anything out, or ask for help. Learn how to use the internet.
