MSN Docklet
Sunday, March 19, 2006 by RobbieRobb | Discussion: ObjectDock
I've finally got around to setting up ObjectDock on my new computer (I've only had it since August 
) and am running into a problem with the MSN Docklet. Whenever I try to add it to a dock, OD+ crashes out. I did a search through the forum and found one reference that someone replied to stating that it was because the docklet was designed for v6.1 of MSN Messenger but there was no official confirmation that this was the cause of the problem. I'm also using Messenger Plus and thought that maybe that may have been causing the crash.
Can anyone confirm if the MSN docklet is working with the newest versions of MSN Messenger or if anyone has had this problem and figured out a solution?
Thanks!

Yes, using the default docklet. I've tried unloading WinFX and WB to see if it was maybe one of those creating some weird conflict, but I still get the crash as soon as I try to add it. I'm using Live Beta as well but was also having the problem with 7.5. The next step I guess is to completely uninstall OD+ and try reinstalling it. It's not THAT big of a deal, but it would be nice to have accurate icons representing my online state.

You know, there's an MSN docklet for download, I used that before I bought OD_, it worked pretty well. Perhaps you could try that?

I figured out the problem! I had disabled WINDOWS messenger from running and just had MSN messenger running. THAT was the problem.
