Impulse not showing updates plus more problems
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 by Scrofulous1 | Discussion: Object Desktop
The following applies to my Vista machine only.
Seeing WB 6.1 was available, I opened Impulse. I have used it b4 to update products, and Impulse itself. No updates showed, so I used right click on each program to verify installation. It reports that ObjectDock +, Windowblinds, DesktopX and Rightclock are not installed correctly, and require updating. I have Object Dock Ultimate.
If Impulse is not reporting that there are required updates (and I know that for at least Windowblinds there is an update available), how do I update the products or get Impulse to work? I used to have Stardock Central but uninstalled it when I switched to Impulse.
Existing issues were loading Windowblinds on startup disables Desktop Window Manager, and I have to use a bat filed provided by Stardock to enable DWM every time I start my PC. Loading standard Vista resolves this but it reoccurs when I load WB. Uninstalling WB and a clean install using Stardock Central did not resolve. Desktop X will not autoload even though the appropriate box is ticked. Now the Impulse issue.
I have used Stardock products for years, but slowly they are becoming too unreliable (for me) to continue their use on my Vista machine. If any assistance can be provided I would be grateful.
