Stardock Central not showing updates
Published on August 18, 2008 By RAMWolff In Customization Software
Hiya,

I am running, happily, Object Dock Plus, version 1.90 (Build 537u).  It's labeled as a beta and is OLD, as in last year old.  I was told in the chat room there are other updates but they were gotten through Impulse.  I can't get Impulse as when I try to have it download it's needed files all I get are connection errors!    I've tried turning off the firewall and all the above but it just keeps giving me the same error that it can't retrieve the needed files;

Here is the EXACT message I'm getting:

The Impluse setup program is unable to download updated files from the internet to complete the installation process.  Please check you internet connection and firewall settings and retry setup.  The Impluse installation will now exit.  NOTE: You can also visit www.ImpluseDriven.com to download an updated version of the Impluse setup program.

I've downloaded the setup program 4 times and made sure that the firewall was off each time I attempted to install Impulse. 

My question is, since Impluse seems a bit buggy (or allot buggy, whichever) why in heavens name are the updates for Object Dock no showing up in Stardock Central when a chat member told me he updated OD just last month??

Thanks much.

I think 538u is the most current.
In impulse, do you have teh "show beta" checked? (Right click the orb and preferences to set this)
In the same preference section, set Impulse to use the New download method (This will need a new name soon as is ceases to be "new")

The next morning I tried downloading the Impulse browser again and it worked fine this time. Got my Dock update installed. Seems a bit better now. Thanks!

Hello All,

I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. Registered user for Object Dock Plus, V1.90 Build 535JU. it's setup so it auto hides on the right and top of the laptop. lately the right side is fine, but the top just goes away. no auto hide or moved to different location. tried to find it. just gone away unless I reboot. opened a ticket and said to check /support for updates. But can't find any updates links, just buy or free links.

Is there an update for the version I own, and where can I download it?

Thank you in advance
