Impulse Update

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 by DaveBax | Discussion: Stardock Support General

 I have been using Impulse from the very beginning of the builds and have never had a problem. I can’t remember a week that went by without at lease one Impulse update. I haven’t had one in over 3 weeks now and also I’m always signed in as soon as Impulse starts. Always logged into the web site when I bring it up also even if it was the first site I went to after turning my computer on. Last note is that I have received updates for other programs through Impulse like WindowBlinds, etc. 
My Impulse says version 3.50.060 and would like to know if this is the latest version as I never see an update in the lower left corner anymore. Thank you.

On one PC it had just updated to version 3.14.355, and my problem is that on a second one it don't want to (actually in version 3.14.351) and refuses to update correctly even after reseting data

 

Someone from Stardock to tell me how to proceed ?

(Both XP SP3 french + IE7)

Both your versions are odd, the current version is 3.14.353

You may have had some extra security feature do an auto update, which may now be interferring with the connection, check for any Spy/Ad type applications running, disable. You could also try a full uninstall of Impulse (won't affect your software) and re-install.

3.15[b]037 is the latest beta version.

3.14.355 is the latest stable version.
(Updated to these two versions, only minutes ago)

Where is your version displayed, Dave?
Would be great to see a screenshot too

Is that what happens when you reach 40?

It ain't the 40, Hankers...it's the kids. They give you a permanent squint

Sure that 3.14.353 is ealier than 3.14.355

BTW i've solved the trouble by reinstalling the impulse_full_setup.exe (which brings Impulse to V 3.14.357

Well I guess my Impulse is in the ballpark. However whenever it updated it always asked to restart. However it hasn't done that in 3 weeks so I assumed it wasn't updating. Looking at the different post I'm not sure what the correct version should be.

Here is a shot of my version. Well I was going to insert it but haven't figured it out yet. anyway it says version

3.15(.037 build 1181

Hi John, I put the b in brackets and it gave me a smile face in reply #11

Actually I figured it out and should have used the correct brackets. 3.15[b]037

Getting old what can I say.

So now that I nkow the version is suppose to be 3.14.353 what should I do. I know I have nothing blocking it.

Now that I'm looking at it guess it's working as the beta version I have is higher than the one everyone has posted as being the latest version. Guess it's updating without telling me. No problem, thanks everyone.

You get the latest beta version (as shown on post #4)

To get the future non beta version uncheck "use beta version of Impulse" in your Impulse settings preferences (big logo buttton of Impulse on left high corner)

Changed it back a few minutes ago but thank you anyway for the reply. Still working on how to post a screen shot on here. Thought I had the path to my graphic but wouldn't show up.
