Would it be possible to post the system requirements for running on XP or better yet the specs of a XP system that DeskScapes has run on?

And how do I download my purchased program without the impulse junk?

Goes great with WindowBlinds and a high-transparency skin.

Now if only my Demigod would stop crashing when running a dream

Now if only the Computer Fairy would bring me a 'puter that has enough poop to run a Dream...  

Well, depending on where you look, this could probably be arranged.

LOL, nothing funnier than insulting the product of a business you plan on purchasing something else from, and on their own forums.

I use a Windows 7 skin I found with a transparent skin for my ObjectDock and the spinning Earth .dream looks great with it.

I always wondered where that wierd smell on my PC came from, too much pop I guess.

As far as my other post goes, let me say this (the part in bold text being the key sentence):

Yeah, yeah.  Install Impulse, download DeskScapes, and then uninstall Impulse.  Blah blah blah...

I don't WANT impulse, and don't tell me I can uninstall it without leaving traces behind.
Having just spent 2 days re-installing XP and getting it setup running EXACTLY the way I want it,
I am NOT in the mood to leave junk behind from an uninstallation.
And besides, my Desktop computer is not setup to go online, nor do I want it to be.
The last time I got update links in an e-mail from Stardock, there were actual download links,
now all I get are links to Impulse for the programs, the Dreams etc. all are normal download links.

Almost all Stardock's software is migrating to Impulse.  It allows Stardock to reduce development time, limit support issues, and allows the users to control their purchases to a greater degree (Install, archive, update, uninstall, restore).  In the end, it saves Stardock money and the customers money.

Yes Zubaz, I know that, I have read the arguements for and against.
However, a direct download does also allows the user to
"(Install, archive, update, uninstall, restore)".

So my question still remains, how do I get DeskScapes installed to my PERMANENTLY OFFLINE computer?

 [EDIT]

Oddly enough, it seems to ONLY be the programs which require Impulse, and not the purchased Dreams...

Adding a "Windows XP 32 bit only" disclaimer to the requirements on the product page might be an idea. In general, going through your applications and discerning between 32bit and 64bit would be nice. Some places it specifies it, others it just says "XP and Vista". Impulse doesn't distinguish it either. It'll happily install Deskscapes on XP64, and it doesn't crash, but neither does it work and there's no indication of why.

2.50.069 dated 12-10-08?  That the latest?  That's what's showing up in Impulse here.

As am I. And Deskscapes works just fine for me.

I get the same also.

Please note that there is an error in the main post about this.

It will not play ALL Master dreams in the free version, it will only play Master dynamic dreams, not video ones.

Mascot68: In general with XP 64 bit you can assume the products are not officially supported on that OS at best.  The user base is simply too small to devote development time to and that user base is getting smaller and smaller.  While many 32 bit apps will work on that OS, apps like Deskscapes will not as explorer is 64 bit rather than 32 bit on that OS.
