NEW PC - -
I need a little help from some very kind people ...
Saturday, October 4, 2008 by mike b1954 | Discussion: Windows Vista
Ok Guys ... Sweet and simple replies would be appreciated here ... so here goes !!
Following a freak lightning strike a few houses away from me , a few days ago ,
my PC decided it was not going to work for me anymore ... 
This was a total wipeout ... both my drives were medium rare .... and the mobo was fried solid .. and that was with a top of the range surge protector too ... 
However , as they say , every cloud has a silver lining , and it is with this in mind , I decided to buy a brand spanking new
Acer Aspire M6240 ... 
I could not afford the full Vista Ultimate package so I opted for VISTA HOME PREMIUM ... 
I intend to get the upgrade to Utimate in a few weeks ....
<><><><><>
Which leads me to my question ..
I already subscribe to Object Desktop ... and Wincustomise ... what do I have to do to get up and running
with it all once more ... 
Regards ,
Mike
PS.. Possible Karma Avalanche warning ... hehe !!

go to my settings top of main page, go to the registrations section, in it will have links to all your purchased stuff. you can reinstall from there .. or install impulse and fill in your registration stuff and it will list all your purchased stuff to re DLD from there

When I got my new system I was directed to download Impulse and install all from there. Worked like a dream. Hope whoever stole it is enjoying all of my stuff!

Thanks HG and Tim !!
Should I have any probs I will use this thread ... Might come in handy for other people too ...
Incidentally , Tim ..
I was sick as a dog when the old pc blew ... The wierd thing is that I had just begun archiving all my C:// drive bits onto the backup disk (D://) when it went down ... so consequently I lost all my sidebar stuff .. ya know WIP etc.... clocks , sidebars, bitmaps,pix , everything ... 
I tell you , that Ouzo certainly tasted good and lessened the pain for sure ...
It will be a little time before I get my sidebar running as it should again ...
Right then .. let battle commence ...

Using either SDC or Impulse, you just have to put your registered email addess in, and all your purchases will show up.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you around lately. Feeling better, I hope?
I'm glad to see you up and running again. It took me a little while to get used to the Vista way of doing things, but I like it.
