number of 'irate' crack users

(giggle, giggle)

FYI there is a fully working patch (fixed) available. So you guys might as well spend some more time doing your tech support and forget about a lost anti piracy battle. Because if someone does not want to buy it they will find a way and get it for free. Otherwise they will not want something bad enough and will just give up.

Either way you won't get a penny from them.

How about some attention to paying customers?

All out of crackers, but I'm willing to cut the cheese to go with the whine.

Lad....the first 'crack' failed, and quite spectacularly, too......just count the panic-stricken bed-wetters who came here crying.  Who can say how or when this 'new' one will show itself to be the tragic folly of dozens more fools?

You really don't NEED Stardock Support....you need an education in practical logic. 

The first crack WORKED, too.......................

................................For a while.

that skarn is the van gogh of our era, i tell ya

You mean he only has one ear? By the look of his drawing it's only one finger he's got...

yeah, right...kinda like Otis as Still Keeper?

Let me run this by you guys. I'm an Object Desktop Subscriber, reupped in September along with 2 more years of WinCustimize. Wiped my PC about 3 weeks ago, downloaded Stardock Central, plugged in my serials that came in my Stardock support email, grabbed Windowblinds 5 and everything has been fine. Now I'm getting that same issue those guys with cracked copies have been getting. Black program listings, black screenshots, etc. WindowsBlinds information shows: WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

My question is this: has there been any confirmation of the rumors, that there is a Microsoft update that is causing issues? Or, could the problem lie with my remoting in through terminal services from work and Windowsblinds not recovering from features being disabled and re-enabled. When I look at the WindowBlinds info screen while I'm Terminaled in it states: "Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins" but it does if I'm running it normally. Could all these system state changes without a reboot be causing this? I have sent a support ticket into Stardock in case there is some kind of serial # issue, but thought I would get your input if you are willing.

Thanks.

Atmos42,

I would suspect the remoting in via terminal services.....

Probably a driver issue....

I do not use remote services, so my experience with WB5 and possible remote services ends there.

I do have all Windows Updates installed on both my Desktop and Notebook - with the exception of .NET 2.0 Framework (KB829019), Smart Card package (KB909520), Media Content 2.0 (KB909993), and WMDRM-enabled Media players (KB891122).

WB5 runs just fine on both machines with the updates, and I believe Neil (WB developer) has indicated that Windows Updates are not an issue.

Ok. Here I was walking to work this morning listening to the Poweruser Podcast, and suddenly felt like I was being called a pirate when I wasn't. So I jumped in to see what was going on. I've suspected that it is probable a remote services issue and will work on it from there.

Thanks!

You again Dumpa? I thought we were done hearing your threatening and mean-spirited tone when your silly rant was shut down. Oh well, I guess some people never learn. Or wait a minute, I guess this confirms your "version" of WB5. Otherwise, ahem, how would you know.
