Impulsively Tired
all I was was to be animated
Sunday, November 2, 2008 by Bichur | Discussion: Stardock Support General
So....
I made (or.. apparently tried to make) a post last night on the Impulse Forums.... can't find it anywhere.
I don't know if it's because:
1) the forums have been going 'BOOM' quite a bit this weekend (at least for me).
or
2) TrendMicro doesn't like IMPULSEivness:
Going to the Impulse forums using Impulse or any browser... I'm bombarded with warnings...
I had read for the animations on the Halloween skin I needed 6.30.100
SDC shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available
Impulse shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available
Impulse's Dock says there's an update - which is not available using the dock apparently
The question(s) I had posted included:
1) what version of netframework is needed for Impulse? Currently I have NFW 1.1 & 2.0... but I don't know if I need 3.0 or 3.5 & whether it can be installed alongside the other 2 or does one, the other or both need to be removed.
2) how can you tell if Impulse is updating itself with no status bar?
3) why does Impulse keep popping out a message telling me it's decided to work offline since it can't connect to the servers, yet I can use Impulse to go to the forums, chat, etc (at least chat doesn't give me warnings)
4) why does Impulse always say I'm not logged in?
5) how can I get it to log in? I tried to manually log in using the change my log in procedures but it can't connect to the servers
6) I have earthlink dialup w/accelerator - TrendMicro 2007 w/firewall - proxy is set to localhost 8080 which seems to work on everything else (SDC included)
7) will WB6.30.100 ever be available on SDC? I have no probs with SDC - it opens and IDs updates within a minute
I'm willing to work with Impulse, but dammit Capn uh dunna think uh ken hold er

Software Distribution Service 3.0

KB943460 - uninstall it and don't let MS update install it again until you check Impulse.
