Yes but testing showed further troubles. It is in the works as one of the top priorities but we will not release unless it really is a fix for all systems.

Ok,I'm way too dumb to know why,but suddenly last night after updating WindowBlinds,IP started working.I mean Working.DVD drive was skinned and still is.This morning,I tried to change it's icon.IT WORKED!!!It even opened the correct IP (The one applied is "Footure")I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

but updating .168 icons DVD drive should see properly?

Until now,the latest version that i can see is 4.00.165 at SDC_6/6/2008 ( not impulse ) and not any pre-release version

My OS XP Service pack 3

That's the thing.I'm still at 4.00.166, it just started working.I didn't update.


For IP in SDC,(twice,actually)I show .166 -5/15/08 and -5/14/08 with no available update..It does show three other updates,one shows in Impulse(DeskScapes),two don't.The dates in SDC seem whacked.I just updated WB last night,yet it shows 5/7/08 for the date.I'll stick with Impulse for updates.

Should we be uninstalling IP3 to avoid both versions showing up in Impulse & its dock?

I took the one marked IP off the dock and hid it in Impulse.I'm sure they'll fix it with an update.I don't want to risk messing something up.

Update showed up today 4.00.168 in Impulse. Still not able to change the CD drive icons Individualy or with IP.

No such luck here. WB 6.11 (Build 58), IP 4.00.168, XP Pro SP3. Same old, same old. Still can't change individual icons of any type. Of course, unfortunately perhaps, I updated IP from Impulse after updating WB earlier without trying to change any thing inbetween.

hallv5 you can go to my server site and view a few screenshots I've made here. I have 3 machines - 2 xp pro and a vista. All of them work completely with the new version. WWW Link
You must have something wrong there. I believe it is one of the icon packages you have installed or even another icon program. Please try uninstalling your program and moving all of your icon packages to another location before you reinstall IP again.
As to date all the problems with icon packager has been resolved.

4.00.168 doesn't fix the issues here, either. WinXP Pro, SP3.

I'd like to get confirmation from Stardock that the .168 update is supposed to fix both issues, before I go through the uninstall/reinstall hassle.

No other icon program, just IconPackager. Will try your suggestion and let you know how it works...

According to the Panic Button page, changing individual icons in IP4 is still a known issue and and is still being worked on by the developers.

For some of us, no amount of uninstalling, reinstalling, etc, etc. does any good. They will have the fix out as soon as possible.

As far as 4.00.168, it has been noted by one of the Support people that it is a 'restaged' release ... don't have a clue what that means   ... but I'm guessing it ain't the fix.   

No go I'm afraid. Uninstalled IP via Impulse. Manually removed all traces of the IconPackages. Reinstalled IP via Impulse. Same old 'cannot find...activate.exe' problem as before with no IconPackages installed other than the three (3) that come with IP. Oh well...

I've been having a bit of an issue with my IP install for a while. I kept putting it off hoping that an update would address it but so far I've had no luck resolving it.
Basically, every time I go to apply a new package I get an error prompt that says the following:

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Stardock\IconPackager\iconpackager.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

So here I am. Anyways, this has been happening for quite some time (since I rebuilt my system earlier this year) but I never got around to trying to fix it. So today I jumped in and got my hands dirty, uninstalled IP, rebooted, started Impulse, cleared cache folders etc, started Impulse again, installed IP, rebooted once more for good measure and yet here I am again facing the same prompt.
The odd thing is that it seems to do the job, as iconpackages do get applied completely to the system as far as I can tell (minus drives and CD icons, which I understand are caused by a known bug).

So I'm hoping some kind soul from the awesome Stardock support team will be able to shed some light on this issue and hopefully help me resolve it.

Thanks in advance.
