Wierd SDC conflict with my PC...Help?

Published on June 28, 2004 By elvee In Stardock Software

Every time I browse The Library using the SkinBrowser portion of SDC, My monitor goes blank. I can't access anything and the only thing that fixes the problem is a reboot. This never happens any other time or with any other proggie. This has been happening for a couple of months now. I have been too busy to inquire about it sooner, but it is now really starting to drive me nuts!!!! All my drivers are current.

Would anyone know why this could be possibly happening?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hey elvee...long time.

What version of SDC do you have installed?

Hey yrag

Until last night it was 1.32, but i just installed the 1.92 beta after the last time it happened >

. I have'nt tried browsing with the new beta yet. I'll let ya know after work

Yeah...1.92 was what I was going to suggest if you didn't have it installed already. If that's not it, I don't think it's anything major and we'll check a few other things that could be causing it...

It happened again >

elvee will be very happy when he gets his new Puter...someday

Elvee...it sounds like it's changing your resolution..for some reason. When it goes black, it stays that way until you re-boot?

One more question....if you tour the libraries using IE, what does it do?

Yup, stays black till i reboot, and no problems when using IE.

...gotta be in the SDC settings then. Open the settings and try, under Web Browser, changing whatever you have set now to the other. In other words, if you have 'Use Stardock Central for Internet Connections' then change it to 'Use Default Browser....

Ok Gary, I will give that a try

Regardless of the outcome, thank you very much for your help

elvee crosses his fingers and gives it another try

Hey, no problem. If that doesn't work, Ill tell you how to completely un-install SDC and do a clean install...and that will fix it.

Hmmm...mixed results, It has seemed to fix the previous problem but now the Thumbnails don't work and i can't close SDC through conventional ways...I have to do the three amigos and kill the process. I think a clean install might be my best option. It's getting late though, it will have to wait till tomorrow

yrag

OK....here's the good news....not closing correctly in the browser mode is a known bug and will be fixed soon. The Thumbnails can be set to different sizes and I think that will accommodate your needs......

....now go to bed

I am missing the Install.LOG in the SDC Directory. SO i cannot uninstall SDC.

Nevermind, I got the Install.LOG help from the Stardock NewsGroup
