Reply to Why do we have to have this Impulse thing being bundled with Fences in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="46" id="2360073"]Lantec's argument is ridiculous. When was the last time any of us was "forced" to buy or use anything? I mean really, most of us have a choice in our clothing, our furniture, our stores, our games, our OS, our everything. Does this mean that no one should criticize anything since we always have a choice to get something else? That's nonsene.[/quote] I'm certainly not telling you not to put forth your opinions about the choices w

Reply to fences, impulse, ie7 in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

A few things to keep in mind: -You already have Internet Explorer. It comes with Windows. We're not asking you to use it, just update it. If you use Firefox for your Internet browsing, the only difference will be that several IE6 security holes will be patched. -Impulse is only required to install, uninstall, and update Fences, not to run it. Impulse does not need to be running in the background, or at all (unlike Steam), to use Fences. -Stardoc

JDPower: I didn't mean to sidestop the main question, I apologize. Here's what Impulse is and can do: -It is a centralized method of distributing software, as well as pushing updates to that software. Having to deal with every piece of software having its own individual updater is far more difficult than using something like Impulse. -It can be used as a diagnostic tool, and can detect and repair corrupted program files, which saves time in getting things working a

[quote who="HateSpam" reply="8" id="2358616"]Let me get our complaints straight: 1) Internet Explorer is more insecure than any other browser in the market. We don't have it, don't want it and some of us even cannot install it (eg, corporate machines); 2) To be able to run Fences, there is absolutely no technical reason to have IE7 on the machine. Nil, nada, zilch. Nor is there a reason to have bloatwar.. err, I mean, "great looking custom installer and software mana

Your data in Impulse reset. To the upper left orb, you should get. Chose the 'Preferences...' link. In the middle (I think) of the screen is the button to hit. When you restart the program you'll find That the update is of a large kind. This is normal behavior For a possible savior. If it works, though, I don't think you'll mind. If it doesn't, then I'd recommend You remove and install it again. I've a fresh

Chrome has it's own look and feel. It doesn't play nice and reveal. So the programs we make Sometimes make a mistake, Which results in a view that's surreal. If Chrome has some fuzzy reception, And a theme is distorting perception, Then open our software, And go in and find there The place you can add an exception.

Just because there is a law against it, doesn't mean that it's wrong. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean that it's right. If you don't agree with a law, that doesn't give you a license to break it. It just means you need to do everything in your power to change it. If you don't, then you have no grounds to complain. If you feel it should be legal to make backup copies of your DVD, you should be right there with RealNetworks, fighting for you

Choose 'Options', then 'Gameplay' and see Where the 'Edge Tracking' option will be. Try turning it off, And then try not to scoff, If this limerick answers your plea. If it does, then your problem might lie with video settings awry. If Windowed's selected, Or two screens are connected, Other settings you may want to try. If you're still having issues galore, You might send us an email for sure. For the problems you're hav
