(SendEmail) (SMTP_Connect) smtp_host: mail.stardock.com smtp_port: 25 smtp_user: info socket is not ready for writing WSAEWOULDBLOCK The socket would block. Unknown socket error socketErrorNum: 0 socketError: 00 00 00 00 Connect function failed. Failed to connect (1) Failed to connect to SMTP server.

Well! wincustomize.com is Great! Really! I downloaded 4- 5 skinz, for further downz i was prompted to register! Its ok! Filled out the necessary data, and clicked for registration being accepted! Though an error message appeared (cant remember detailz). Now Im waiting for validation email, hopelessly!
I think there's an internal error in wincustomize.com's server, couse it doesnt appear to accept registrations, or what...ever...The problem is that I cannot register!!!!!!

now all i have to do is figure out why the bootskins dont work. i can preview them and everything, but when i restart it will not come up. what i do is click on the one I want, then i click apply, then ok, then in the lower left hand corner of the bootskin window it says the skin i want, but when i restart the skin is back to the original. its starting to piss me off-constantly restarting and redoing everything, then restarting and still nothing. i think i am done for tonight. sometimes i just wish my car wasnt parked outside my window so i could just throuw my computer out of my office window.

hmmm ok well can't believe i'm here asking this but figured it was a noob question and thought i'd put it up here in case anyone else had the same issue.

I have most of the software available here. Not all of it installed as I don't use it all. My question is......I've downloaded a few things that don't seem to be packaged or at least seem that way. For example I've downloaded Tiggz k-dock and the christmas lights (sorry blanking on the author name). All I seem to have is the individual pieces. eg: the xmas lights came with the .png and a .ini file. I was able to open the .ini for the lights and figure out how to set it up to work but for something like the k-dock thats waaaaaay outta my league to figure out. Am I missing a program? Am I not loading it up right? I just wanna use the k-dock!!! lol. Anyways hope this is the place to ask I've searched the forums and some of the postings on the dl's and couldn't find this issue brought up anywhere. pweeze help.

Verinos, I downloaded Tiggz's k-dock and it downloaded fine as a dxpack. Did yours download as a zip-file? In that case just change the extension from .zip to dxpack by simply renaming it.

If you dont see the extension you might have to go into Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options. There choose the "View" tab and unclick the "Hide extension for known file types"

The christmas light should have the extension .dxpack as well.

Please change your nick.  If you wish to comment and/or post questions on the site your nick should reflect a more respectful attitude....

Citizen FcukFace I must agree with Jafo that you should change your nic...seeing this is a family site and a lot of people might find that offensive. Thank You.
