* Why do I need to reboot my computer after updating SDC?

* None of the Histories work in the Object Desktop section (I didn't
check other sections).

* Window pane sizes aren't being saved between sessions in the Object
Desktop and Library Thumbnails sections (I didn't check other sections).

* The "Check for Skin Updates" and "Reset" buttons are both drawn on the
"Skin Updates Manager" pane, rather that in their own pane. This results
in redrawing problems.

* "Check for Skin Updates" no longer works. It immediately says "Update
process complete."

* "Reset" does nothing.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? ;)

If SDMCP is updated, then you need to reboot to compleat the install process.
I only had to restart StardockCentral.

I don't use SDMCP (confirmed in Task Manager). Both those options are
disabled, and I don't use any programs which require it.

Works for me, but opens 2 browser tabs, open as local pages.
Here, for instance, when trying to go to the DesktopX history, it tries
to open the following link:

http://sdcentral.stardock.com/dl.aspx?f=choyvp/qk/orgn/uvfgbel.ugz

IE (through Maxthon) tries to download that as a file, and then gives the
following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Internet Explorer
---------------------------
Internet Explorer cannot download uvfgbel.ugz from
sdcentral.stardock.com.



Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a
shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

It is a little odd. Answers.com claims that the etymology is from the
Spanish cargar (to load), from the Late Latin carricare, from Latin
carrus, a Gallic type of wagon. So yeah, you would kinda expect it to be
used for cars. I guess it became so used for the load that people
decided to use it for anything, even if it wasn't being moved by car.

I only had to restart StardockCentral.
It asked me to restart (since I *do* use SDMCP) however when the system
came back up again, SDMCP did not start because MCPCore.dll and
SDMCP.exe were deleted from teh C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stardock
folder.

I tried enabling them from the SDC general settings page, but to no avail.

This has been happening to me for the last several versions/builds.

Now now, the bug is still on the list... just a little buried thats all.

Beta 96 is going up very shortly with a few improvements to the software
listings and allowing more control over that. The splitter bug will be fixed
for the next release build.
