I’ve been watching the news about 3D printers for a while, and one of the reasons is the very cool ability in Galactic Civilizations III that allows you to print your ship designs with a 3D printer.  Most people think 3D printers aren’t affordable at least for the general consumer, and in most cases they are exactly right.  However, within the next year we should be seeing several consumer-level 3D printers available for just a few hundred dollars or less.

So I've had this problem for months now, been back and forth with Stardock technical support and nothing they suggest seems to fix it. I've used Windowblinds for years and apart from one issue with UAC a few years ago I've never had any big problems with it. But at the end of my tether I've disabled it this morning as I simply cannot fix this issue.

Basically what happens is my taskbar keeps locking up. By locking up I mean I click the icons and nothing happens, I can't pe...

Yes…it seems the patch nazi has spoken.

“Windows 8.1 users who haven't yet installed the major update released by Microsoft in April, will stop receiving updates starting tomorrow. Microsoft had announced that the update which was earlier known as the "Spring" update would be a mandatory update for Windows 8.1 users and had a given a buffer period for users to update to it. After launching the major update in April, Microsoft set a deadline for...

There have been endless articles on how Windows 8 sacrificed desktop usability for being a better tablet OS.  The problem is, it’s not a very good tablet OS either.

The problem has nothing to do with Metro per se. The problem is that Windows still, at its heart, behaves like a 1990s OS.  Let me walk you through some things that I think, regardless of whether you’re a Windows, Android, iOS fan you can agree that these are inexplicably bad things.

For full disclosure, I have bo...

Yup. 59 (fifty nine) vulnerabilities patched for IE. I have no words.

What can I say except Read about them here: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-035 or here: http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-59-internet-explorer-vulnerabilities-patched-in-june

There are at least 2 critical patches for each IE version plus additional ‘important’ ones.

There are also game updates for MS Surface Pro 2.

Enjoy.

I used to be able to simply remove the icons, now they reappear. For Example, If I drag Impulse off of the dock, it disappears, then reappears in moments. How do I fix this?

When I open a photoshop file, it appears blank when I'm using WindowBlinds. When I use the basic Windows theme, it's normal.

UPDATE: Works with graphics driver disabled (but keeping it disabled is not an option).

(I'd provide a picture, but it's literally just Photoshop open with nothing in it except the file open and a dark grey screen.)

I paid for Windowblinds, and then upgraded to Object Desktop a few days ago, and I can't use it? It's a upsetting that there...

Hi guys. I'm a paid user, Pro version. Had no problems for years. I recently rebooted and my feces are completely gone. The icons that used to be inside those fences are still there, however the fences themselves are missing. There's also no Fences right click menu on the desktop, nor is there an option to create a new one when I right click and drag a box. Launching "Fences Pro" from the start menu brings up the familiar window, and it acts as if the software is still installed, however...

Apparently, Gmail had a large security flaw which could have led to mining huge numbers of users email addresses.

“Oren Hafif, a security penetration expert, discovered last year that he could manipulate the little-used account-sharing feature in Gmail to edit the 'Rejection Confirmed' webpage. After changing one character in the URL of the page that appears when you reject access to a shared account, Hafif found he could make the page tell him that he had been declined acces...

Thanks, I.D. for the heads up.

Adobe's adding a brand new selection tool to Photoshop CC (more to come on June 18th).

A cool tool indeed! Selects on the basis of which pixels are and aren't in focus, and can be adjusted with the "Refine Mask" option.

For a good idea of what theis new tool can do, watch this video...and stay tuned for Adobe's event on June 18th for more.

Hello all. Hoping to reach the support team here. I submitted a ticket, number is [#ATL-363-71414]. No one will answser me.  I purchased Galactic Civilizations 1 Ultimate Edition as part of the Galactic Civilizations complete pack through Steam. When playing, just after the first United Planets vote, the game accuses me of pirating the software and shuts down. Since you distribute your software through Steam I know it is not pirated.

I was trying to use my Windows 8.1 machine as a primary, and the software errored. It says the software is activated on another machine.

 

Do I only get one primary machine? What if I dual boot? Does each OS need it's own seperate activation/purchase?

 

I have submitted a ticket.

The animations stop working after about an hour. All other functions still work though.

Turning windowsFX off then on again usually resolves the problem. Though sometimes it doesn't and a restart is required.
