Stardock has some nerve placing purchase links inside Object Desktop!!
I already paid for Object Desktop
Tuesday, March 27, 2007 by xgman | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
I saw today that Stardock changed the Dreams folder in Stardock Central OD to "Purchase" I take offense to this since I already paid for OD and do not intend to be nickel and dimed within a program that I already paid for. This is just cheap and petty for Stardock to resort to. Just my opinion.

I just checked mine and DeskScapes, Dreams. and DreamMaker all have an 'install' button, but nothing that says 'purchase'.
hmmm...
Oh! I'm special, too!

I see them in the "purchased" section of the Object Desktop suite . . but it's PART of ODNT, so I have it. 
Wish I had Vista Ultimate so I could use it. . .

To get rid of the "purchase" button in OD, uninstall DeskScape and then reinstall it through OD.
The "purchase" button will now be an "install" button.

I had the purchase problem as well, but in the most recent version of Stardock Central, I believe this is fixed.

OK, finally after several uninstalls and reinstalls of SD and Deskscape it updated, What a pane. Sorry for all the ranting. Now if Nvidia would fix the vista drivers, but that's a whole different rant.

Ahhhh..Persistance pays off in the end, a most useful way to expend energy other than picking on poor SD...everybody tries that first instead of looking at the problem itself..

xgman, sorry that you had problems. However, please realize that Dreams are extremely new and it takes time to work out all the bugs. Another thing to take note of- it's beta. If you aren't showing pre-releases you won't see it at all. Betas aren't perfect. Matter of fact, you can usually be assured that there will be bugs since they are, well, in beta.
