ObjectDock keeps vanishing

from Stardock Forums

Hi all,


 


I've downloaded OD standard. Set it up and with vitually every program I open OD closes. This happens with Firefox, Word for Windows, Thunderbird, SuperGravity news reader Photoshop CS2.


Does anyone know why this is? I'd love to use this, but not this unstable a version.

saabster,

Let's start by clearing the cache, which will force ObjectDock to load with the default settings - as follows:

1 - Save your current theme (Right-click dock > Dock Settings > Themes menu > Save Dock Theme)

2 - Unload ObjectDock

3 - Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder and delete the "ObjectDock" folder found there. Note - for a mini tutorial on clearing the cache, you can go here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82461

4 - After clearing the cache, restart ObjectDock

5 - Test the functionality of ObjectDock with the default theme - to verify that the program is compatible with your system using the default settings

6 - If all is well, click the "Configure Dock" entry on default dock to load Dock Settings, and then use the Themes menu to load your saved theme

7 - Test the theme

8 - If ObjectDock crashes again, you probably have either a link or docklet which is creating the issue. At this point, it will be a process of elimination by dragging one item off the dock at a time and retesting. As long as you do not resave the theme, you can simply reload it via the Themes menu before each test - until you find the culprit.

Note - start by removing any added docklets, as these tend to be the culprits more often than links - though not always.
