    "Idea: Holding CTRL pressed on the keyboard while selecting a diamond color will make it a square color."

    Innovative idea!



    ******************


    The problem with the new system, from my brief experimentation is this. Let's say after applying "diamond" colors to several objects, you decide to make those "diamond" colors named colors (aka a document palette). There are couple ways of doing this. If you select an object and use the color editor to create a named color, you still have to go back and reselect all objects which are composed of the original "diamond" color and manually reassign the fill and or outline color .... they don't automatically update when the named/copy of the diamond color is created. UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

    ****************************

    Most of the time I am finding that if I apply a "diamond" or a named color to an object and then try to apply a TINT of that color, the fill in the editor changes to left-most "square" color in the pallet. Doesn't make sense to me.

    ******************

    Enhancement idea for the Color Editor: If you select an object with only a fill, then Local Fill Color in the editor should automatically be displayed. If you select an object which has no fill and just an outline, then the Local Line Color in the editor should automatically be displayed.

    In your case, check if you got the windows firewall switched off. If you're sure all your firewalls are turned off, I'd say there is a Service running in the background responsible for blocking Xara to update, maybe a firewall software that didn't uninstall properly(?). Have a look into the Windows Services running on your system, try this:

    1) Click on the Control Panel.
    2) Click on Administrative Tools.
    3) Click on Services.
    You get a list with all Services on your system.
    5) Check if one of the services is one of your previous firewalls or blocking
    Software. If you find a Service you might think can block the software,
    right click on it, go to properties, then stop and disable this service.
    6) Warning: make sure you don't disable all services, some are important for
    windows to run at all!
    More information on Services can be found here:

    Thanks NoStaw - I looked but did not see anything even close...

    Xara is Helping (now) - I ran a DOS Window CMD that said One Address was Bad (the Name/Link they said Type)

    BUT, like another Numberic Address/URL ?Alternate/Alias? was GOOD...

    I sent to Xara - Waiting for what to do Next - Will Report, if Needed by Others ??? (hoping not - not fun not being able to: Register or get Updates!)

    Thanks for Thinking on This & the URL to Services - Much Appreciated! Tom

    You may have a corrupt winsock setting. I have had a number of PC's come to mw in the past that have been (initially) unable to get certain websites for no obvious reason. Eventually they are unable to get an WAN access (commonly they are still able to connect to LAN clients)

    The easiest way to reset the winsock is through the use of a free utility:

    I attempted to install 3.2.2. three times. Each time that I attempted to install, I received the attached error message. I downloaded XXP 3.2.2 twice, but no luck....

    Not here.

    I already had Xtreme 2.0e in C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme\

    I got the Xtreme 3.2 DL version and installed it into the C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme 3.2\ folder. I then opened it, closed it, ran it, unlocked it, closed it. I then re-booted, launched the 3.2.2 upgrade and then opened Xtreme 3.2.2. It opened with no new requests for an unlock code and is now running fine.

    I'm on Vista, BTW.
