Brian...have you downloaded Impulse, and installed your software? Have you put your email address in Impulse Rt. upper corner?

Have you downloaded any skins? If you had the Trialware on your computer have you uninstalled it before installing your purchased software?

Hi guys and thanks for such a fast response.  I did have a trialware version on and tried to install the full version but had a whole lot of problems trying to register it.  I was using Dreamscapes or something like that.  I had the dragon one for the desktop.  I tried tech support by email but didn't get a response from them, and then I thought, "Maybe I should uninstall the whole thing and re-install".  Then it worked OK.  I still would get popups saying that it had problems registering my software.  It says it's going to expire on 1/14/10 so that's right.  When I try to register each program separately I still get an error that it can't register it.  Man.... I was so excited to have one of those nice desktops and nothing exciting except a partial Dragon desktop with Vista's icons.  I don't have the old buck for the Recycle Bin or nothing.  No, I'm not crying, only my bottom lip is sticking out.

You shouldn't have to register each app.  Just register ObjectDesktop.

THat may be part of your problem.

Thanks again you guys.  When I was installing Object Desktop I hadn't entered any reg keys and I got a popup that said the key number was invalid, so I closed the popup and continued installing the software.  I wondered why each program had a registration icon in it since I bought all the stuff as a package I'd assumed.  I have a spyware blocker running in the background (Webroot Spysweeper) and I know I should have closed it before installing because it blocked the program while installing and then I closed it.  When I get home tonight from work I'll uninstall it and reinstall and hopefully it will work fully then.  I'm so impressed with what I've seen on the web about this stuff.  Wholly crap!!!

Hi Philly.  I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I have 64-bit on my Notebook Computer.  I'm hoping to put the program on it as well.  I'll definately be back to let you guys know how it all went.  You've been most helpful and I thank you so much.

Brian...Welcome to WinCustomize

It's a wonderful community and you'll find that people around here will try thier best to assist you.

It will work out and then to the good part get all the goodies from here so you get that sleek desktop you have always wanted! And after a little while you open up SKS and start making your own stuff when your first blind is done there is no turning back

Begs teh question, is there a prompt for that? If not, should be... if not completely automated like other software does,

If you create a case to support for stuff like that, I can ASSURE you that SOMEONE will see it.

Using Impulse in the way to install the programs.  Not difficult, but don't rush it. 

As was suggested before, register Object Desktop Ultimate with the information in the email you should have received.

Once you do that all of the individual programs should and will show up under the My Desktop tab.  WindowBlinds will need a reboot of the computer after install.  I really can't remember if others will, if you do need to it will prompt you.

On your BootSkin problem, don't know what to say other then whether you run XP or Vista you can have problems with BootSkins.

Morning All.  Well, so far it's been a very productive morning.  I've downloaded, removed previous Impulse using Impulse, and reinstalled it.  Then I downloaded bootskin, restored my Vista bootskin to original, and now I'm going back in. I'll download Object Desktop first and hopefully it will ask for registration right away and hopefully things will go smoothly.  I've shut down Webroot so I shouldn't have any Spyware popup warnings from the Firewall filter.  I'll keep you posted.  OK, now I've successfully uninstalled bootskin pro with Impulse, but now I'm stuck.  Which program should I install to give me the best chance of having a great looking desktop with the most amount of choices?  I know that's a tough question, but you guys have moe experience than me with this program so I'm asking for you wisdom.
