Vista 64-bit compatibility

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 by PhiBetaScum | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Will all of the Stardock software eventually run in Vista 64-bit? Will Thememanager continue to be a part of the package? Will My Colors run in Vista 64-bit in the future? I know for sure that My Colors, CursorFX, and Object Dock Ultimate will only run on my XP Media Center Edition partition right now, but I'm unsure about some of the others. I hope all future software will run in 64-bit as well as 32-bit operating systems.

CursorFX and Object Dock Plus work fine on Vista 64bit. Only MyColors of that list does not work on 64bit and that is due out sometime this summer we think. Are you working with the latest versions? If you want more detials on specific programs click on stardock.com and then programs and each has its own page. If you have any further questions just let us know!

I know each product page has its own system requirements, but some explicitly say 32- and 64-bit while others just say "vista." Could you give us a brief rundown of which major components are supported on 64-bit vista, Seabass? Of particular interest to me are Iconpackager, Windowblinds, DesktopX, and Deskscapes.

fake edit: is Impulse 64-bit compatible?

I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit, so far the only program that has not ran is MyColors. Impulse is running for me.

liquidXenon: IconPackager, WindowBlinds and DeskScapes are explicitly 64-bit Vista compatible. DesktopX is functional in many respects, though certain features will not work, primarily the systray/taskbar support.

We have since updated the features page. You can now look under each program in this list for an update to "What works with What". Let me know if you have any questions.
