Help! Component Manager Busted!
Wednesday, February 26, 2003 by The Mekon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just been informed that WB 3.90f is available, clicked Sys tray icon for Component manager - wait icon, then nothing! Tried running CM from OD, Start, Run etc. Tried re-installing, re-booting etc all to no avail.
Any suggestions - or a workaround for updates? TIA

Weaksid...you got him wrong.
He means the proggy won't fire up....
The Mekon....there's a link for the new replacement to Component Manager....called 'Stardock Central'.
Perhaps that'll get you going again...at least with updates, etc...
Hang on..I'll dig it up...

Install that, and enter your email particulars, etc and it should be OK for you...

Well waddya know - downloaded SD Central, unzipped etc, re-booted, and just for laughs tried CM again - it worked! Will persevere with SDCentral though - must be XP, mind of it's own!
Thanks for help.

I knew it was too good to be true - admittedly CM works, but after DL'ing WB3.90f, where are all my skins? Only XP stuff appears, is this a feature? Not the end of the world, but...
Haven't tried SDCentral yet - may be something there...watch this space...

Possibly you changed the install location (at least that was my problem). Go into the accounts tab and check that out.

could be CM is also opening up in the WB4 part of the Library, or he is noticing that all of the Library skins in the popup (2nd) window are all WB4 XP enabled?
