Reply to WinOptimizer 15 key Activated "too many times" in Accounts and Activation Help Stardock Forums

Well, I`ve approached them again with this information, lets see what they say on my second attempt... (Watch this space). Forgive my cynicism (which is NOT directed at you) but I have had similar runarounds with other resold software, its not much fun being bounced backwards and forwards and having to send email after email to different supports who each tell you "not our problem". Ideally support should be a single point process supplied by whoe

Already tried that, they are asking for a reference number from purchase, which I don`t have because I bought it from Stardock.... I can already see where this fiasco is heading. - No support from either company and no access to a program I`ve paid for.

Reply to WinOptimizer 15 key Activated "too many times" in Accounts and Activation Help Stardock Forums

Nope. There is no option to do that, this is the winoptimizer 15 program by Ashampoo, and there is no option to "Manage" machines next to the serial number on the downloads page. https://imgur.com/rRiN4KC

WinOptimizer 15 key Activated "too many times" in Accounts and Activation Help Stardock Forums

I own Winoptimizer 15 and have (had) it installed on 4 machines. After upgrading my graphics card and uninstalling my Steam library on one machine I wanted to clear up the old game entries and shortcuts so decided to use winoptimizer (which was already installed). It failed to start and instead posted a message stating that my key had been activated "too many times". I tried to reactivate it manually by entering the key straight from my Stardock downloads page and again got th

Reply to Major problem with Fences and multiple second monitors in Fences Stardock Forums

Yes - I`m getting the same problem plus multiple other annoyances with this program - it looked like such a good idea when I bought it, but I`m now heartily sick and tired of restarting my pc to unfreeze fences or icons - support are no damned use either, their "advice" was basically to reset it to its native state - i.e. start again and then to blame my video drivers ( which are both up to date and working with EVERY other program on the PC just fine), then just for jollys - to c

Reply to Tiles not working at all. in Tiles Stardock Forums

If i understood what you meant by that I could answer you, -"switch pages"? -I haven`t added any to switch to.. Pretty sure the answer is no anyway - I uninstalled it. rebooted, Re-installed it and authorized/registered it again then started it, -and it is not showing any open windows from the word go - in a new installation without doing anything at all. its windows 8 Pro on a 1920 x 1080 x 32 touchscreen display I`m running:- Fences Modern mix <p

Tiles not working at all. in Tiles Stardock Forums

Tiles is not working at all for me - doesn`t matter how many windows I have open, - not one shows up in the side bar. All tiles seems to do is take up resources - my PC has slown down to a crawl. Yes - I`ve run virus and malware scans - nothing found . And yes I`ve gone through the conf

Lol! - well whatever the terminology, - I could not open or close windows - that's still "Broke" in my language.

Reply to Theme Manager & Explorer crash in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

it`s reported in the very first post in this thread. @ ancalimonungol :- "the top bar of windows disappears and I can't open new windows" I picked up on this thread because I had exactly the same issue, - the maximise/minimise and exit boxes were missing on ALL subsequent opened apps. Not all apps ha

Reply to Theme Manager & Explorer crash in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

@ Zubaz. Which things? More information on this seems important because I`m sure I`m not the first person to use it thinking it is a current program, and when I used it , it kayboshed my windows installation. - I needed a hard reset and then when that did not work, a lot of playing around to regain basic functionality.-Changing the windows Blinds theme did work. But only time will tell if it has done any damage to the installation whi

Reply to Theme Manager & Explorer crash in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

My Bad then, - I subscribed and went to the download page and it was listed in the new downloads, - that's why I assumed it was part of the package. (-It`s a small jump from subscribing, finding this program amongst your "new" programs and assuming it`s what you`ve just paid for.) That's how I "got it"../ "bought it"... and it is appearing on NEW subscriptions. Still would be a good idea to remove it , because of the issue I me

WoW -it`s broken, and it`s still being sold? As it happens , I did not subscribe to Object Desktop for that particular App, but if I had, then I would be extremely angry about that. I have used a lot of stardocks apps for some time now and I find then to be amongst the best software available , especially for windows 8, may I say that it does Stardock NO favours including a Broken Application in its Object Desktop Package - ANY App that is broken has the po

Reply to Theme Manager & Explorer crash in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi!, - I`m getting exactly the same issue - I lose the minimise/maximise/exit icons from the top right hand corner of explorer and open application windows. - Just subscribed to the Object Desktop Package and am already running several Stardock apps - Windows Blinds and Deskscapes 8 plus Fences so thought it might be an issue with one of these, but then I saw this post in this forum so I`m interested in finding out whats wrong. I did notice that a hard reset did not cure t
