Updated WindowBlinds but the other two will have to wait for W 8.1 update xx or 9, whichever one comes first. I'm on W7

Thanks for the fast update.
The issue with the right click menu on windows 8.1 update 1 is gone.
Now i have an issue with the start8 update.
Yesterday i´ve updated start8 to v.1.41, but today stardock central shows me a new update 1.41.1.

But the update don´t work for me.
After installing, central shows me a problem: code 9.

If i start stardock central new, it shows me the new update 1.41.1 again and again and again...
I´ve tried 3 or 4 times to install, but always the same result.
What is code 9 and what can i do?

You need to try Object Desktop Manager, Stardock Central is no longer supported.

Thanks for your fast answer, but i don´t understand, what´s the reason and since then, since today?
Yesterday i updated without a problem and today no support?
For me, SC is a nice, little app, easy to use, shows exactly the new updates and install it, until yesterday.
Now, i have to go to stardock.com for every download.

That error should be resolved now, and you can try again to update. Let us know if there's still an issue.

No, as ID said, you now need to use Object Desktop Manager, SDC's replacement. You can download it from your account page.

Many thanks, Island Dog, i could update without a problem, cool. ![]()
@Wizard 1956, i´ve tested ODM, but it does not work for me, because i´m not a OD subscriber.
