It's extremely annoying that the software keeps downloading and playing random cards, how can I disable that? I only want it to play the cards I have purchased.

On the settings page enable "Advanced Settings" and then set "Free Preview Push" to "Never". Then delete any previews that have already been downloaded.

Go to the Data and Models folder. In each of them you will see subfolders with the name of the cards (a0100, c0010, e1100, f0230 for example). Choose the ones corresponding to the previews and delete them.
If you have installed the software in the default place, it is there :
c:\users\your username\Appdata\Local\vghd\Data (and Models)

There's a problem, though.
If I delete previews from such folder(s) as suggested [just because of download errors and so - I do want them back after], they are then NOT going to be downloaded again as I press the "preview" button on the card page.
Any solution? Thanks

Member @lukaszr
has his own Preview utility you can try.
see his post. It's his own 3rd party created software available on HIS site.

this is not supported by iStripper, so use it at your own risk..
he has tested it, but not on every possible plat form..

Thank you, @Wyldanimal. I have a clarification: I am speaking about cards I DON'T own, of which I just have the previews. Is there a method to delete and then redownload such previews, or you still give me advice trying @lukaszr 's utility? Thanks again

In this particular case there is simple solution:
1. Quit iStripper,
2. Delete demos of your choise,
3. IMPORTANT: delete the models.lst file located in data folder,
4. Start iStripper again.

The models.lst file has been deleted, so with the next start iStripper will be ***** to recreate that file and refresh the list of files in your collection. Now you should be able to redownload previews via iStripper GUI.


BTW. If you decide to use Preview Downloader and if you encounter any problems, you can write PM to me or write in this thread:

And now for something completely different. Users have often lost demo clips by some strange algorithm hidden in the iStripper code. When free previews on the disc reach a certain size, iStripper dele...
