It's been a while since I first got Object Desktop, did it ask you to reboot after registering? You may need to.  

If that dosen't do it try uninstalling and reinstalling Stardock Central.

yeah, i restarted... but no luck. i am going to try method 2.   

still nothing, keeps giving me error messages that the file could not be downloaded. now i am getting sad.  ( 

Are you using any kind of anti-virus/spyware that could be blocking the dl's?

no antivirus, no spyware........ i can't figure out why.

Clear Cookie Cache.
Open Stardock Central/ Tools/ Settings/ Internet. Server US-1, Refresh XML Data. Restart Stardock Central.

I haven't been able to log in the past couple days, something is probably down.

How did you post that?

I can't log into stardock central.

What version of SDC do you have installed?

2.49.510 build:162

It was working fine this past weekend. It's not the first time it hasn't worked for a couple days either.

I had a problem after I installed from the CD, then tried to download WB6 as well.The server asks for confirmation, says it can't download it, possibly because the firewall is blocking it. In the end, I had a hunch that it was because my browser was set on "Block all cookies". After I reset
it to allow cookies, the download proceeded. You don't make it clear what error message you got; if it was the same, maybe this will help. There was an alternative offered which I only have a vague memory of; I had to copy a message the server sent into an e-mail, then the server sent an e-mail back with a file that I had to insert somewhere; it might have been a sig.bin file which you have to insert into the WindowBlinds folder (in My Computer\Local Disk C (or whatever your letter is)\Program Files\Stardock\WindowBlinds. This is how you activate the program offline; you get the sig.bin file one way or another and it goes into the WindowBlinds folder. As I said, my cookie hunch worked out, and I didn't use the sig.bin file. One other thing, I was instructed to rename the file to sig6.bin, from sig5.bin. That may have changed. If you got the same message, make sure you copy and paste the message into your e-mail, then the server automatically sends you the file without requiring a person to do so. Check your cookies setting in your browser; click on Tools\Internet Options\Privacy, and try Medium High. That made the problem go away for me.

ryan241-Install this right over the one you have:WWW Link

I have the error 13 message. I even tried uninstalling.... rebooting... installing, rebooting... and still the problem. I will go and try the cookie thing. As for winblinds 6, it isn't the only program, all the others i wish to download keeps giving me the same error. I have all of my antivirus and firewall off.... still no luck.
