Gadget Girl is sorry about the double post. Something was wrong with my connection. Oooop!!

What's the question?

GadgetGirl's reference to CM? CM *is* Component Manager.

But may I suggest you install and use Stardock Central. Althouhg it's still in beta, it's still much better than Component Manager.

What are you downloading now?
OD is not something you download. It's just the name of the overall group of products that include Windowblinds, Desktop X, etc.
Component Manager is probably what you are downloading now. Continue downloading it and install it. When it's done installing, open it, and you'll see a bunch of applications. Among that you should see Stardock Central. Stardock Central is in beta and will eventually be what will replace Component Manager. It's more centralise and better done. For example when a software is updating Stardock Central will only download the parts that need updating instead of downloading the whole application all over again.
Get it?

No no, I don't get tired of it. It's cool.
And I don't even work for Stardock, I'm just a volunteer admin on this site.

Thank God us newbies have paxx to come to our rescue and explain in simple text all these detailed explanations.
paxx to the rescue!

If you have CM, go down on bottom left to available components. Click on that, then go to upper right corner and click on alpha releases.You then will see Desktop X 1.93 Download it. Good luck, Princess

Thank you Gadget, but where are the rest of the things that are supposed to come with it? Do I need to do that will all of those programs? Sorry

NO NO NO !!! Just download the programs you really want to try

ok, but on the documentation that I have in front of me it says that Object Desktop comes with Desktop X, Window Blinds, WinStyles, Object Bar and much more...so where do I find these programs that it was supposed to come with? When I open window blinds, it tells me that my 30 days has expired and I have to buy it...didn't I just do that?

well, I did what you told me to do, the only two things that came up under Alpha is Desktop X and MCP something or other. I tried to download DX and it gave me a message that said Access violation.

I don't know Princess.I guess you will need higher knowledge than me.
Maybe your upgrade hasn't gone through yet???Sorry

If you got the suite after you got the original purchase of desktopX you might not be showing in the system yet as having made the purchase, it could be a matter of being updated in star dock data bank. Try cross referenceing your account again might help
