Reply to SINS - Downloaded file invalid; MD5s do not match server in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

This type of issue is generally caused by a security (antivirus, antispyware, etc) application interfering with Impulse's download. When the downloaded (modified) file is then compared against what's on the server, it obviously fails. You will need to either add an exception/exclusion for Impulse to your security software or you will need to temporarily disable this while downloading and installing. Mike

Reply to Windows 7 Firewall Multiplicity Settings in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Go to Start->start search; "windows firewall" and right click the "windows firewall with advanced security" then choose "run as administrator." Under the "Inbound rules," open the "Multiplicity" rules, go to the advanced tab, and enable the radio button, "all profiles." Beyond that, do you have another firewall that might be interfering? Are these 32-bit or 64-bit machines? Mike

Reply to Installing Object Desktop on Multiple Computers in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Yeah, archiving is great, and I wished more digital downloading services did it. You can just throw those onto a cd/dvd and preserve your software forever. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] CursorFX and ObjectDock are two applications our marketing department for years has chosen to keep separate from the Object Desktop package. As an Object Desktop subscriber, you are eligible for discounts, however... Mike

[quote]does not have keys for any non-Stardock games...There is something wrong[/quote] Actually, this is as intended. Because of the way our contracts are set up with third party publishers, we really have to take any precaution we can ot deter fraud attempts. As I suggested, however, you can access

Reply to Lots of ???? in Stardock 2010 Stardock Forums

This feature requires an account with admin access. Unfortunately when that kind of thing happens, there's really no other way around it. You might be able to trick it into running ObjectDock as one of your admin users, but that would require some third-party app intervention. One of my favorite apps, psexec, is capable of that: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx Mike

Serial numbers for products you've purchased (when needed) will actually be kept within your Impulse account for fraud prevention purposes. If you need to access your serial number to any product you own, just launch Impulse ( http://impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup_full.exe ), click the question mark at the top right, and click "Register a product with Impulse." From here, you can right click any product and are able to copy your serial number (which you can then paste using Ctrl+V at

Reply to Does Impulse support paysafe cards? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

There are gift cards available that can be used as mastercard/visa cards (prepaid credit cards). You should have no trouble using something like this in our store. If you do use this route, you will want to be sure the information the financial institution has associated with that card matches up with your own information (name, billing address, etc). Mike

Do you have icons hidden? Right click the desktop -> View, and be sure "Show desktop icons" is enabled. Otherwise, right click on the desktop, click "Customize Desktop", click the "Web" button and be sure everything is unchecked here. Mike p.s.
