Reply to ISSUE: Installing from Archives & Subscription in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Here's the latest. Since it appeared that individual links to multiple files in Dropbox wasn't going to work, I fired up WinRAR, which I haven't used in nearly two years. I then copied to my archived BACKUP folder, a program found in a different folder, titled "ObjectDesk2008.exe," though the file was created in 2009, right around the time I renewed. Note: All the other archive files have Impulse extensions. When trying to RAR all these files into on

Hankers, Thanks for the heads up. Having gone this far, I guess I'll try zipping everything as you suggest. I simply cannot believe the amount of time and energy this has consumed, and for one of the least expensive or complex programs I own. One would think they were protecting Fort Knox, given all the hoops one must jump through. To say that this has left me drained and irritated is a gross understatement. That said, thanks again.

Shirley, Having now read further about how Dropbox works, it's just as I suspected, you can only link to a single file - not to a folder.

Shirley, I installed Dropbox, set up a Shared Folder, and placed all my backup programs in there. (I also put a READ ME note there for you, regarding another program I found.) To grant you access to a Shared folder, Dropbox said I need your email address, which I don't have.

Hi Shirley, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the primary issue is that my archives will not restore, however, that complication created a secondary issue of concern, in that I was prevented from updating my programs while my subscription was still intact. Typically, I'd have been on top of this on a regular basis, but given serious medical issues, my life has been anything but 'typical' for some time. When I finally mustered the strength and tried to reinstall o

ISSUE: Installing from Archives & Subscription in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

A customer since 2006, I last renewed Object Desktop for two more years in Feb 2009, and immediately archived all my programs for a potential reinstall later. Almost immediately thereafter I went on Chemotherapy and then my computer crashed. Months later I finally reinstalled XP Pro and key software, but was too ill to deal with Stardock’s overly complicated install, and have had bigger things to deal with since. Of my 2 year subscription, I used this and other products a few week
