a shame stardock central decided to lay down while impulse does it's big belly flop
Published on October 15, 2008 By drunkenpreacher In Impulse Beta

    stardock central tells me my account is expired, i checked, yes i renewed and my subscription doesn't expire til august 2009, so why the problem, oh, i should install impulse, so i can pull all that's left of my hair out waiting for it to connect to MY FULL TIME HIGH SPEED CONNECTION!!!!@! Come on guys, if we're going to improve the way we get my money, let's improve the service we provide, wincustomize is half-a@#@$ and disappointing, oh you say it's worth the money for the unlimited downloads, agreed, but why have the pretense of an integrated installer and browser if it really doesn't work? How about building in a download manager while you're at it, I've relegated to using a conventional browser and star-downloader for dreams and Icon packages anyway due to slow download times and failing downloads with wc,  but i like the idea of click and install the gadgets, skins, etc. I'm sure you could work the bugs out given another millenium. I'll be here patiently bit&^%%$^ until then. Ya'll wouldn't have me any other way. As for stardock central-----why screw with something that ain't broke????? now it's broke????? Come on Impulse is a cute name and a neat idea, but it only work for a minute on my machine and from what i've read, that was 60 seconds more than on most. YUUUUCK, it's doo-doo... give it to Bill Gates, He'll figure some way to charge us all more for it and get the bugs ironed out somewhere in India. In the meantime, make my stardock understand that August 29 2009 is in the future and please activate my deskscapes again since something screwed it up and my dreams won't come............hmmmmmm. I need a drink,

I hope ya'll are reading this in the same spirit it was written. No Malice, no hate, just a humorous jest at some computer problems piled up in a laptop mess on my desk.

This does not look like a humorous jest, thus i cannot treat it as one. Looks more like you are trolling and put that last sentence there so you wouldn't get into trouble.

Punctuation would be nice Wendy, I have no fucking idea what you're trying to say.

Impulse could be having trouble connecting to our servers. This can be caused by extra 'security' apps, like SpyBot, AdAware and the like. Even some anti-virus applications can have their own 'spybot' functions, and Firewall settings.

Check your system (SysTray) for any of these 'watcher' type programs and try to turn them off, then launch
Impulse, and watch the bottom left of the window, when it is done connecting, you won't see any text there,
and you should then be able to access.
