ObjectDock freezes when Emptying Rcycle Bin

Thursday, November 23, 2006 by WebGizmos | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Does anyone know if you can revert back to the 1.3 version by just reinstalling it over 1.5? Ever since I installed 1.5 all my docks just freeze up for about a minute whenever I empty the recyle bin...this "never" happened with 1.3 And yes I have plenty of memory. And there are are things I'm just not to thrilled about in the new version.

Ok....got 1.5 uninstalled and reinstalled 1.3 and everything is working much better. 1.5 looked nice but hopefully they get the bugs worked out.

OK...I take that back....ever since installing version 1.5 which was causing everything to freeze up...and then uninstalling it and reinstalling 1.3...the freeze is still happening...and no....nothing else was installed that would cause this...its only been since installing 1.5. Any ideas...again.

I have had it freeze on occasion on 1.3 and 1.5. It didn't seem to be something new to 1.5 on my system. It doesn't happen all the time, but every once in a while it will freeze for 30 secs to a minute and less frequently it will totally freeze and I have to stop the process in Task Manager and then restart it.

I never had it freeze with 1.3...especially when emptying the recycle bin. Now it freezes up all the time.

I just tried it, and the docks were unresponsive for maybe 5 secs, and there was a ton of stuff in the bin(doing a bit of house cleaning on second HDD).
But mine is a fresh install, of OD+, after a fresh install of XP, last week. That may be the difference.

All I know is that before I updated to 1.5 it never froze...ever since it has. Who knows?

OK...this is really getting to be a pain in the backside. Ever since upgrading to 1.5 I've had nothing but problems with Objectdock. I would really appreciate some helpful input as to what the problem is with this thing. Every time I empty the recycle bin either Objectdock freezes up or my whole desktop freezes up. And it seems to take forever for the recycle bin to empty with hardly anything in it since upgrading.
