I bought Object Desktop for $49.95 from you. Why can't I download stuff?
Saturday, June 12, 2004 by Ninjazx10 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Object Desk Top is a fantastic idea, really fun, but when I try to download anything from Skins to Themes all I get a message that says "source code can't be read". I tried closing browser stuff and removing temporary files but it is no go. A week after I bought you Program I had a nice download session. Ever since all I get day after day is the "source code" routine. If there is anything more sophisticated to do I don't understand how.
Anybody got any thoughts for a computer USER?

Do you have Stardock Central installed and do you have any Stardock shareware installed?

Brad, I pretty sure he means he can't download anything, whether it be skins, or themes.

Is anyone else having problems downloading skins from the libraries?

I am not having problems. I was remembering of the troubles I used to have downloading suites when everything wasn't either installed or up to date (there is a new sysmetrix as well as some of the DX objects which are heavily scripted and need the latest pre-released dx). It's been awhile since I dl a suite, and its only a chance he meant that.

That is a puzzling error which I have never seen. Ninjazx10 should mention whether attempting to download through SDC or a browser. I suspect something else at fault though separate from ODNT.

GhoS,
I am trying to download through Wincustomize. I go directly from my ISP to Wincustomis.com. I don't use
MSN or Netscape or anything else.
Frogboy,
I meant downloading from Wincustomize only. All other downloading is no problem. I should have been more specific.
Yrag,
Yes, I have Stardock Central installed.
I have downloaded Bootskins, CursorXP, Desktop Widgets, DesktopX Themes, DesktopX Objects.Icon Packager, Logons,NextStart, ObjectBar, ObjectDock, Suites, WallPapers, WindowAmps and WindowBlinds . In so far as I can tell they are set up properly.

If you don't have Internet Explorer, you can't do that.

Although, I have to add, IE has to be installed on his system or SDC wouldn't be working..

Ok...let's try two in a row...open SDC and in Tools/Settings/Web Browser click on 'Use Stardock Central for Internet Connections. Now click on 'Web Browser' on left and in the address bar write 'https://www.wincustomize.com/'....
