Laptop refusing to sleep

Got me a Lenovo laptop here. Not sure of the model, I know it's an IdeaPad 110, but they have many 110 models. This one has the Intel Core I3 with 6 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB hard drive. Anyhow, I'm running Windows 10 and have it set to turn off the display after 2 minutes and sleep after 5 on both plugged in and battery. Now I don't have any programs stopping it from sleeping that I know of. I created a sleep button for my taskbar that works fine, but I would prefer the machine t...

Very disappointed with ObjectDesktop software

0
0
I purchased ObjectDesktop software thinking believing the claims made by Stardock that it improves productivity, but after my experience using it, I will say that reality is far from those claims. I spent more time than I could afford trying to troubleshoot issues and learn without any help documentation.

1. When I enabled windowblinds, shadowFX stopped working and I was told because they are not compatible with each other. In that case, why sell them as part of objectdesktop package and have...

Is there one click icon run available at fences?

As in topic. I found a old post from 2010 and there are first time when someone ask for this feature.

now is 2016 and I still can't see it. Is this really hard to code or breaking OS function?

I know there is in Windows control panel possibility to change this but this affect a file explorer and this is not acceptable for me because I like and I need to have possibility to rename files via one click (in file explorer). (and I know F2 key do this too) I just need to run only desktop ic...

Unable to try WindowBlinds 10. Trial popup doesn't work.

Hi there,

I wanted to give skinning a try on Windows 7 Ultimate, so I downloaded WindowBlinds 10.5 from the official website to try. (As an aside, the installer still reports the program as version 9.5.1.0, so that might need looking at).

Upon running it for the first time, WindowBlinds customization window loads, and then a modal dialog appears over it to force me to make a choice: either to enter a key, buy now, or start a 30-day trial, as shown in this screenshot:

Brad Wardell photorealism on Playstation 5 - PCGAMES

Well, I'm not a console guy, but I know what hardware is installed in the current generation, I guess if we talk about stills, as you supposedly said, then this can be quite possible, but a real-time render in This quality? Well not really.
We have decent engines like U4, which with 4K textures is able to bridge some aspects of the uncanny valley, but I just can not see games in photorealism happening any time soon.
Just one model would have to have multiple subdivison levels for the rende...

WB 10.6 issues

0

10.6 is doing funny things to my skins. The task bars are too tall. Images that should be transparent are showing the desktop in the transparent area instead of the object behind it. Start Menu items are all over the place like I had before, even with AV disabled.

1) Taskbar from 6502 skin. The "Rebar Gripper" is showing the desktop instead of the taskbar background.



2) Text items in wrong positions. Incorrect search icon in search text box. Missing restart buttons.

Heya - not sure who to contact. I'm a Founder for StarControl, and have been active on the founders forum since last year. A couple of days ago my account got logged out and I haven't been able to log back in (I've tried resetting the password multiple times).

I log in fine on the Stardock forums (and the "lost login" reset link from StarControl forum seems to direct me to reset on the Stardock forums).

Hi!

So everytime I restart windows explorer there is about 80% chance "Fences" don't recover (restarts). If I restart explorer once again most of the time Fences starts again ...

If I try to start "Fences" manually after it has failed.

I get  "Fences does not appear to be loaded. You may need to reinstall Fences" (see external link above)

 

UPDATE:

I created an easy workaround  

 

Follow these simple steps

1. open notepad

Security: Windowblinds checks for updates and downloads over HTTP

0
0
Hi again!

You probably know this already, and perhaps you're already taking steps to improve it, but I can see that WindowBlinds makes some of its calls across the internet using HTTP, not HTTPS. In this example, it's checking for updates. I haven't done a full check of the network traffic, but I'd hope the registration and trial pages don't do the same thing. Since most of this website is HTTPS now, it would be surprising.

In addition, the installers for new versions o...

WB 10.6

I have the installer package for WB 10.4.5 but not the one for 10.6. Tried to dl it from the site but...my sub for ODNT has expired. When I installed WB 10.4.5 after a clean install of the Creators Update, everything worked fine until about 30 minutes ago. Now I get an error message saying that there is a dll mismatch and WB is not installed correctly. This after it updated to version 10.6. I'd like to reinstall version 10.6 rather than the older version thus avoiding another mismatch. Can I...
