Trouble moving downloads to Fx
Sunday, November 18, 2007 by sparklplenty | Discussion: WindowFX
I have downloaded several FX transitions but cannot figure out how to move them to FX where I can use them. When I try opening them I get the message that it is a file that I do not have a associated program. But when I move them manually to the FX folder transitions, they do not display either. Can anyone tell me how to successfully get the transitions into my FX program?

I am trying to apply the 'elevator' transition. I have XP 2003 home edition. After I download the transition, I open it and there is tra etc. files, which I cannot open because I don't "have the associated program". I have tried moving them to the FX folder, but it doesn't work.

-sigh-
Elevator door? https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=85&libid=30
Unzip and drop the files in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowFX\Scripts (make sure it's not in a sub library.
Then in WinFX in the transition section select the transition you just installed.
