When I try to get on Stardock to update, I get a message saying, "Download manager idle" and I can't get in.

I got the same error and solved it by:
1) Stop SDCentral
2) Delete every file under "C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\data\public\gc1"
3) Delete every file under "C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\Temp\base"

Zadoc, I tried your suggestion several times but couldn't make it work. It seems the downloading is not finished but SDC start to update.

Hmm, guess I was just lucky then.
Btw did you delete every file in the complete directory tree? If you didnt, then do it.

What version of SDC do you have? If you don't have 1.01a.175 build 16, and SDC isn't updating when you start it, you may need to re-install it.

I'm also having the same problem using SDC 1.01a.175 build 16.
I've tried downloading on 3 machines : 1 at work, and 2 at home.

I don't think its an Internet issue as the home and office use different ISPs, and I can download SDC from the Galciv site without problems.

The only thing these 3 machines have in common is that they all run WinXP.

I have reinstalled! It still says "Download Manager: Idle"! I am logged in and my registration is correct, but I can't get to the download page!

I just go in a "circle" from Stardock Home to Drengin.net to StarDoc.net to GalCiv Home, etc.! I know it's probably something that I am doing wrong or not doing, but I just can't get to the update page. I don't think I'm stupid, but following the directions doesn't seem to work either.

HELP!!!

I am also using the latest SDC, 1.01a.175 build 16, on WinXp machines, one desktop and one laptop. Still having this problem on both of them.

KLStafford: I guess I'm confused as to what you're actually doing. Is this the first time that you've used SDC? You should be able to just click on the software tab, then drengin.net, and then galciv.

I've e-mail the sdc developers and asked them to take a look at this thread.

I just realized I can't download WindowsBlinds anymore too.
So it is definitely not a GalCiv issue. I wonder who should I contact for SDC problems?

Also, it doesn't seem to be an WinXP only issue. I tried installing on a Win2k machine, with the same results.

If you have ad blockers or firewalls on, please disable those and try again. If that doesn't work, e-mail your log files from the installed folder to [email protected], who is investigating this.

Hi CariElf,

Thanks for the great support

Does "firewalls" include NAT routers and such?

Nope, that should be ok.
