Problem with impulse

April 10, 2011 10:10:57 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I just loaded impulse and saw an update for windowblinds but before i can update impulse tells me it needs to be updated first, so fine i go to update impulse and it gets to 7% and then reports an error while downloading the update. Any ideas on when this issue will be sorted out as i can't update WB without it. I am a current subscriber until oct 31st this year so it's nothing to do with an expired sub or anything. hope to hear something soon.

Sometimes resetting the data corrects that.  Click on the little icon in the upper left had corner of Impulse and select Impulse Settings and then click on Reset Data.

Well that's not good, hmmm, try going to the same place but this time select 'Clear Usage Date'.   If that doesn't work you can always try a reinstall of Impulse.

On the reinstall disable your A/V and see if that the fixes the problem, stranger things have been known to happen.

I haven't seen that problem with Impulse in a while.  You might try in IRC and the Stardock channel.  Hankers is there, he might have a suggestion.

thanks philly, i just loaded impulse and it did the same thing again so i restarted the program and it let me update windowblinds so now i am happy lol. As for disabling my A/V... never. if i had to do that just to get a program working then i don't want that program and i have never had to do that before with any stardock program or any other software for that matter. In my opinion if you have to turn off your security just to install something then that something is not worth having because it is ridiculous in this day and age that software programmers cannot write their software to be aware of things like security programs..it's 2011 after all not 1985

The reason I suggested it is that when programs get updated A/V software at time can give false positives that the updated program may have problems.  I don't like disabling my A/V either.
