Sweet! I love it.

Had one problem. I was able to retrieve all the updates for my installed software with the exception of SkinStudio6 Professional. It keeps telling me 'Error retrieving data'.

I closed and opened Impulse several times and keep getting that message. Everything else updated without any problems.

no one can dl that one smedley.
if you look it shows a file size of 00bytes so maybe it's just not setup yet

I updated SKS6 pro on 2 of my machines Vista Ultimate and XP Pro SP2 with no problem.

I'm suprised no one commented on the new Icon Packager version 3.90. I noticed it when Impulse updated it.

Okay just went back into Impulse and updated everything, well that I can for my XP computer. Didn't have any problems. I even found the WC forums. Know it's off to find the Galleray Libraries. Hmmm that may take awhile.   

EDIT: DOH! I looked up and there was the browser bar that I was familiar with. Must slow down and take time to read.

Yeah, I see it, but there's no History link to find out what's new. I generally check that out before deciding to download.

Also wondering if there is a reason why, when using the browser in Impulse to go through the forums or Wincustomize.com, there are home, back, and forward buttons but no refresh or stop buttons.   


Edit: When I made this post it took its time posting which made me realize there is also not a progress bar of any kind.

Yeah a status bar at the bottom would be nice.

D/L'd & installed Impulse, got the 'successfully installed' message.

Left "Launch Impulse Now" checked.

Clicked OK, got this:


with this error signature:


XPP SP2 with all updates through 3/08.

Regarding SDC updates vs. Impulse updates: They use two different backends I think so you will see updates on Impulse that aren't on SDC and vice versa from time to time.


Ahh..cool. That explains a lot.

Also I was just surfing Wincustomize through the Impulse browser and when i click the Site link to get to my personal page it takes me to the settings page instead and if I click on anyones name at all to get to their personal page then it takes me to WWW Link

Jafo is still having issues...IE it does not run.

Apparently installs, though.

Have switched to Exploder...and since uninstalled...and cleaned reg and temp files....will do a new download and start afresh.

Jafo crosses fingers...

Koasati it's brand new.

Nope.....gets a few flickers from cursor arrow to busy and back but nothing.

Same as always...so it's gotta be something else.

Downloaded and installed fine, after I let it through Kaspersky numerous times. Kaspersky also complained of "Password protected files" during install.

At the end of the Install I clicked on "run Impulse now" but nothing happened.
I started up manually and Impulse ran fine, and immediately asked to be updated again.

On my system (Vista 64bit) Impulse doesn't recognize that I have CursorFX and ObjectDock installed. Everything else is recognized.

As a test I updated something that I wouldn't need to reboot for, and updated SoundPackager:
Update went smoothly, but after the Update SoundPackager shows up under "My Desktop" as being "recently installed", maybe that should be changed into "recently updated"?

I also couldn't find a Link or Button to the History-file before the update. Will this be implemented in the future? As a "64er" I always check whether the update is compatible with Vista64 or not, and I would sorely miss the History-files.

I love the new registration tab (oopps my OD runs out in April!) and the red Updates tab. As a general impression: It looks better and feels smoother and more refined than SDC.

However, I find it generally harder than in SDC to keep an overview over my installed OD-applications, as they are now in a two row system. I miss the sorting ability of SDC and an ability of changing this layout to "detail" (everything in one row, with the tag "installed" or "available" and the version-number right next to it).
