According to both SDC and Impulse, I currently have version 3.99 installed. The history section on SDC states there is a new user Interface involved but I'm still seeing the old interface. In the Help - About section of IP, it states I have 3.00 and in the Help - History section, the last build mentioned is 3.20. I've tried using both the Iconpackager.exe and Iconpackager64.exe but both give me the same interface. My OS is Vista Ultimate 64.

Sounds weird, bud. I've just installed 3.99 on my system via SDC in the past few minutes and it shows the nice new shiney interface. I'd uninstall IP and start again via SDC. I'm running XP SP2

I also get the new Interface (well the old one was better i think ...), anyway, the language setting is not working even if i choose Danish, Korean, Spanish and even French   

... and i don't know if it's because my IconPackages are on E:\ and not on the the default C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager, but everything is s o s l o w that i'm wondering if PC has crashed or not just on a simple package launching ...

Well I downloaded from both SDC and Impulse, if that's even possible, on XP SP2 32 bit and have the new interface.

Sorry. I had to make a quick trip to the ER for a bit. Anyway, I've uninstalled IP, rebooted, and reinstalled IP. As of this moment. IP doesn't open and all my icons that are changed by IP are white rectangles. I'm not the happiest camper in teh forrest at present, unfortunately.   I'm sure things will be corrected rather quickly, though.

The latest beta 3.99a.[b].046 (x86) is running fine on this XP/PRO/SP2 Dell Inspiron 600m. I love the new layout. Looks just like WB. The color changer option works like a charm, on the entire icon package at once; fast and sweet. Gotta keep that 'show pre-release versions' box checked if you want to get the goodies before the party starts.

installed the latest beta 3.99 and again msconfig and ms paint will no longer work, both show up as resident in memory in task manager but no GUI. Reverted back to 3.20 and now they work again. hopefully this issue will be fixed soon

As usual the x64 build is still far away, considering that they hasn't fixed the beta so that ICL packages will work on x64.

I guess no one at Stardock read the weekend boards before they posted that IP update today........

One word for anyone that wants to update past 3.20....don't

Yep, and I've got the same problem now on XP SP2. Same thing as the rest of you guys. MS Paint and msconfig won't fire up although they are shown in the task manager.

I must admit I am rather disappointed with Stardock as this issue was fully documented on these forums over the weekend and I also believe several members emailed Stardock Support, as well. I would have thought that some one from the Support team would have seen this problem and held the IP update back until the problem was resolved. I assummed - like many others - when I saw the 3.99 version on SDC today that the problem was resolved. Alas no.

So as Yrag says - don't update to 3.99. Stay well clear of it and keep 3.20 and wait for Stardock to fix this issue.

Yep, as others, I've just uninstalled 3.99 and reverted back to 3.20 and everything is back to normal so 3.99 has serious problems.

I've sent a message to Stardock Support and hopefully they'll pull 3.99 in the morning and start working on a fix.

i see others are having issues as well but am i the only one who updated to 3.99 but still sees 3.20? it seems everyone else sees a new user interface but i do not. also, i still can not change the incons for the individual drives in My Computer without Windows Explorer crashing. I have 6 hdds and i used to be able to use 6 diferent icons, one for each. not any longer, tho.

Bump.........Hoping for some input from Stardock Support

Well hopefully we'll get an answer soon, Snidely, to your issue and the others raised in this thread
