Just updated through Stardock Central to 3.00c[b].002 hoping it would resolve the problem of no file icons being changed nor being able to change them manually through the file's Properties/Icon/Change Icon utility. After the update was installed, I rebooted when prompted and was greeted by a BSOD. Rebooted again and no problems getting back to Windows (XP SP-2). So, I loaded another icon package and still the file icons remained the same (various icons from both Windows default and previous package). Then I tried to change a "zip" icon with the Properties utility and was met with an error saying that "Activate.exe in C:\Windows could not be found". HUH? Okay... NP... dug into my backup files and copied the file over into my C:\WINDOWS folder and tried to change the icon again. This time I got a "Activation" dialog. NP, right? Just typed in my e-mail address and pasted in my Registration #. That produced another error... "Activation Failed".
Sent off an e-mail to Stardock although I have my doubts about if and/or when I'll get a response. So expecting that it could be some time before I get any word back, what would be my next step in trying to resolve these problems? BTW, I do have "Archive" enabled in Stardock Central and checked and I have 4 or 5 backup folders of previous versions in the Backup folder. Could I try one of those and revert to an earlier version? If so... HOW do I do that? And what pre-reinstallation things should I do, e.g., should I copy my Themes folder to another location? etc.
THANKS!!
