friend is looking for solid info on getting a card reader.  One that reads both cards from cell phones, and reads the cards in digital camera (USB). [ Coolpix L-18 Camera and basic cell phone graphic card.]  Thanks all.

Why can't I download through stardock?

0

First off, I think when a category says, "Manage and Download your purchases" you should be able to MANAGE and DOWNLOAD your purchases. Not be redirected to have to download and install the Gamestop App bullshit that won't let you download a purchase. I just want to download Entrenchment again as I've gotten a new PC but I can't because, god forbid, Stardock refuses to let me download my purchase. Can I get a little help here?

For those of you who were forced to change over to the inferior messenger product called Skype, here is a way to get Windows Live Messenger back, and it works absolutely great!

It says it will keep Live working for at least a year... but by then maybe Microsoft will come to their senses.

Few things to say

I wanted to clear a few things up. Mainly about my job. When I asked for help, I had NO job. I started that thread asking for help on January 14th. I recently became employed at Jack In The Box, I've been there since the beginning of March. I hope that clears that matter up. When I asked for help, I was truly unemployed, and previous to Jack In The Box I haven't worked since 2010. 

Post number 586 in my previous thread shows when I got the job.

For those on the other side of this small globe, April 25th is ANZAC Day.

It is their equivalent of Memorial Day, and should be honored... They fought at our side through thick and thin, and do so to this day.

 

To learn more about what it is and how it's celebrated I suggest this article: http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac/anzac_tradition.asp

Start8 License from different account

Hello,

 

I've been forced to use Win8 at work, and found Start8 as my salvation. I even managed to get my boss to buy it for me. He created an account and bought a license, and then forwarded me the order email from sales@stardock, but unfortunately licenses are tied to accounts so I was unable to use the key he sent me.

 

What can be done? I really don't want to have to ask my boss to give me his account details, and over complicate something that really ...

Stardock Central AppLocationX registry key changes on shutdown

When I shutdown Stardock Central, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Stardock/StardockCentral/AppLocationX value changes to an extremely high value (e.g. 0x00000935, which is 2357).  In practical terms, when I restart the app, StardockCentral is several dozen desktops away.  Windows key + arrow keys don't seem to grab the window.

In business, setbacks can be life saving

I was struck by how many Steve Jobs biographers have emphasized how important it was that Jobs got kicked out of Apple. That experience changed him and in the long-run, made him a much better businessman.

Pride before the fall is a truism and even being aware of it doesn’t prevent one from falling into into that trap.

Right now, as I write this, Stardock is doing better than at any time in its history. But it’s only doing so well now because of changes we made 3 years ago. Because 3 ye...

Run Modern (Metro) apps in a window on your desktop

ModernMixTM from Stardock is the latest app to help you take control of Windows 8 and have it work the way you want and are familiar with. Windows 8 has a new start screen, once called Metro, that’s home to Modern apps for Windows 8 such as Mail, Calendar, etc. There are thousands more of these Modern applications that can be downloaded from the Windows Store, and many of them are very useful and great to have.

The problem is these apps run full screen, and for many apps that’s ju...

How Many Drives or Partitions Do You Have?

0
0
I'd like to get an idea how many drives/partitions the average user has. It will help me to determine the best number of drives to leave space for when I use the self expanding drive meters I use in my DX themes.

I have 5 drives/partitions, more when using a flash drive or SD card. So I like space for 7 or 8.

 

But if the end user only has one or two, there'll be a lot of wasted space left over.....looks funny.

 

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you guys wou...

I need a new TV series to watch

What television series would you recommend to someone to start from scratch?

For instance, I’ve never watched Lost but I don’t think I could handle 7+ years or whatever it was of shows mainly because I heard the show ended up like X-Files where the creators were kind of winging it.

Any suggestions?

We closed down shop last Friday and migrated to our local movie theater to see “The Hobbit”.

I’m very interested in hearing what others thought.  Here are my thoughts in no particular order:

I did not enjoy 3D 48fps viewing. It’s distractingThe movie could be best described as giving unlimited budget and control to the ultimate Tolkien fan and letting him indulge in that.As a border-line obsessive Tolkien lore guy, I loved every single minute of the movie and w...

Changing Separator in ObjectDock Plus v2

When I add a separator in OD+ v2, a blank space the size of a full icon is created.  I would prefer just to have a thin vertical bar -- a typical separator.  Is there any way to make the separators appear this way?
