ObjectDock Giving Major Problems

After I went from 1.3 to 1.5

December 23, 2006 12:30 PM from

I upgraded from 1.3 to 1.5, without uninstalling. After I ran ObjectDock Plus after upgrading, my three docks (top, left, right) are not auto-hiding, and the icons seem to get stuck in their zoom state. If I disable auto-hiding, and any hover effects, the dock still gets stuck on an icon where it displays the name of the one I hovered over, until I hover over another icon, and it happens again. I tried doing a clean install, but the Uninstaller doesn't work, everytime I run it, I get statusbar icons of Azureus for some reason, even though there's only 1 instance of Azureus running. So I manually removed ObjectDock from Program Files, and then from registry, but as soon as I install another copy of 1.5, I get the same errors.

did you clear the OD cache?

How do I do that?

BTW, I went back to 1.3, and it works like a charm.

try archiving and uninstalling 1.3 before installing 1.5

I think clearing the cache did it. Thanx alot. If I get any more errors I'll be sure to post again.

Whoops, nvm. I figured out the problem, nothing to do with cache. If I set the Z-ordering to Bottom, then the thing freezes. Normal or Top ordering doesn't do this.

How do I fix this?

Is it possible you've got some other program keeping the focus in this case. Not sure why you'd want it on the bottom but that would make mouse over activation useless if any other program is active on the desktop.

I want my right dock to be on the bottom without mouse activation because I don't want it to show up when I want to use the scrollbar on windows.

Here are a list of applications I usually have running, maybe they are conflicting:

ZASS 7 Beta
WLM 8.1 Beta
AveDesk 1.3
Creative Vol Control
Firefox 2.0.0.1
Winamp 5.32 Pro
