Reply to (SOLVED) Fences has detected that Explorer was not closed properly. in Fences Stardock Forums

You're right, until the problem is fixed in Fences it's not technically solved and won't be until Stardock issues an update with a fix. Crashing Explorer is never an acceptable bug as it can corrupt data and cause a number of system problems. But hopefully the troubleshooting steps can help a few people isolate what caused the issue in the first place and hopefully if they can reproduce the issue it can be solved no matter the cause. Once you know why somet

(SOLVED) Fences has detected that Explorer was not closed properly. in Fences Stardock Forums

Fences is forcing Explore to crash on a fairly fresh Windows 7 system. After 3 times Fences realizes it's probably the cause and shuts itself down which resolves the problem as does uninstalling the application. It took me a while to find a solution for this as one is not available on Stardock's website yet I know they have known about it for sometime now. So here is the Tech Doc they should have. 1) Make sure you have the most recent v

Windows 7 Desktop crashes when Fences is loaded. in Fences Stardock Forums

When Fences is installed on Windows 7, the Desktop (Explorer) crashes several times. Eventually Fences turns itself off. I've updated to the most recent nVidia drivers for the 8800 GTS but with no success. The event log shows the following crash information: Faulting application name: Explorer.EXE, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec4aa8e Exception code: 0

Feature Request - Hot Keys. in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

Not sure this is the best place to post this. Please let me know if not. This feature is seriously needed in Dreamscapes. 1) Animated wallpaper can slow the system. A quick way to disable would be to hit a hot key to switch to static wallpaper. 2) Application exclusion. That is, the ability to disable a Dreamscape when launching a specific application. I use Photoshop & 3ds Max quite a bit and I imag

Granted the subscription should be made a bit more clear. I totally missed that it was a one year subscription to Wincustomize until I received the notification. And then when you do browse the downloads, some of them have additional charges. That wasn't clear either. Granted $10 isn't a lot, but I like it to be clear what is included. I was also a bit surprised that Object Dock wasn't included in t

Reply to Automatically Applying in Animated Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

This is typically due to the file extension not being associated with the downloaded files. In the case of DreamScapes the .dream extension must be associated with the DreamScape.exe program file. Look up how to associate files within Windows Explore (not Internet Explorer). If you are using a browser such as Firefox, make sure you select the option to "Open With". If the .dream file extension is correctly associated with

[quote who="Maverick1310" reply="4" id="3277547"]It ma be a combination of 2 things. The system reservered is 350Mb that can get damaged. Also turn off fast boot option in windows 8 power settings. This may help. I had this too on my dual boot the only way to fix it properly is to make a 350 mb system reserved. Delete all other partitions. Install win 7. Then create a 2nd partition & install win8 into that. As i said, I had exactly the same. the above method was the only way to
