Uninstall Object Dock??
Sunday, February 12, 2006 by Dominic B | Discussion: ObjectDock
I have been using Object Dock for sometime and has been working great. I just upgraded to two monitor system and for some reason Object Dock does not want to work correctly. I only need it on one monitor, but when you pass the cursor over it (I have it hidden), it does not stay visible, it closes back down. So I wanted to unistall and reinstall again. I did a uninstall through remove programs, but for some reason, Object dock is still there and active, but no more listed in programs? How do I completely uninstall? I am also running Flyakiteosx and Konfabulator.
Thanks JR

Incomplete uninstalls usually occur when one of the following is true:
1 - Program was still loaded
2 - A ".dll" file used by the program was still loaded.
Best bet would be to reinstall the program > start program > unload program > reboot > uninstall program.
After a successful uninstall procedure, do the following:
1 - Open My Computer > Tools menu > View tab > select "Show hidden files and folders" > click "Apply".
2 - Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder, and delete the ObjectDock folder found in there.
3 - Reinstall ObjectDock > Start ObjectDock > create and save a new theme.
That should do it.
Note - I do not run dual monitors, so I do not know whether this set-up is fully supported, or if there are limitations in the free and plus versions of ObjectDock. The procedures above should not present any conflicts, as you are only rewriting files, and clearing the cache folder which stores the current theme files for use on boot. The result of clearing the cache (lower procedure) will be the loading of the default settings by ObjectDock - and in this case, removing any possible conflict with the former theme used.

How did you install? If you used Stardock Central that's teh best way to uninstall.
Installing (again) from there and uninstalling may resolve you issue.
