SD Central freezes Desktop?
SD Central freezes Desktop?
Wednesday, October 5, 2005 by MichaelG04_NEW | Discussion: Stardock Support General
everytime i lauch sdcentral, it freezes the desktop. like, if i minimize it, it's still there, even though it's not really there, like replacing the wallpaper. or any other window or menu that is on the screen when i remove it, it's still displayed, even though u can't interact with it. any ideas on this?

well, now it happens with other apps as well, and i have to kill the explorer process to fix it. so i'm thinking it might be more related to wb5 beta.

It's very possible that the issue might be related to Windowblinds 5 Beta (I'm impressed you included the word "beta" after wb5 because most posts on here unfortunately don't). You could possibly try removing that and see if it resolves your problem.

Actually there is something you could submit: login.txt. Open your favorite email client and address it to [email protected]. Then navigate to "C:\program files\stardock\sdcentral\" and attach the login.txt file to the email. In the body, please include a reference to this URL and we'll see what we can do to help!

Uninstall Stardock Central and restart your computer. After restarting, download and reinstall Stardock Central:
http://storage.stardock.com/files/sdcentral_setup.exe
Restart your computer one more time and try running Stardock Central again. If you go to the c:\program files\stardock\sdcentral folder, find the login.txt file. If you're still having problems, please send an email to [email protected] and attach the login.txt file.
