Objectdock crashes and frrezes desktop [vista 64bit]

from Stardock Forums

I've been having this problem with objectdock which, freezes my desktop and the only way out is Ctrl+Alt+Del and logoff !!

 

It seems that launching some programs lead to this behaviour. The one program with which this can always be reproduced is foobar. I've set foobar ti start minimised to the system tray and when I click on the foobar icon in the systray to restore it, Objectdock crashes and freezes my desktop. The only thing I can do is Ctrl+Alt+Del and log off resulting in the abnormal termination of all the programs running !

 

Launching full screen apps like mplayer, games or even firefox (sometimes) makes Objectdock crash but, it doesn't freeze the desktop and I believe Objectdock respawns itself instantly as I don't see the Objectdock vanish (may be the 32 wrapper crashes leaving the 64 bit dock64.exe running, I haven't bothered to look into it yet).

 

Has anyone experienced this behaviour ? Can I get some help in this regard ?

 

I'm running 64 bit Vista SP2.

I would say that you have some compatibility issues with some of the programs you are running and Object Dock.  I think you need to email [email protected] and explain the problem. 

You need to give them know what OS you are running and the other software besides Stardock stuff that you are running so they can troubleshoot your problem. :sun:

Thanks for the help, Philly0381. I'll be emailing stardock support team tomorrow and see what they have to say in this regard.
