so I use a .vbs instead
copy into notepad:
set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"
save as: start.vbs
point a shortcut on the dock to it

I Was having the same issue. I found a solution that seems to work for me so far. I'm using Vista with Objectdock 1.90plus build 535u.
Right click your start menu and select properties.
I then changed my StartMenu style from "Classic Start Menu" to "Start Menu" (Vista Style) Then Click OK.
Now click on your ObjectDock StartMenu. You will recieve the error message again.
Now click on your ObjectDock StartMenu AGAIN. It should now work correct.
Note: No Matter Windows version your running, Try changing your start menu style just like i described above and it may help you out.

I was sometimes getting this message. I am also unable to click on the start menu when it appears. as I move the mouse from the start menu icon onto the start menu itself, the menu goes away. I tried making the vbs script mentioned and the same behavior occurs. how do you get the start menu to stay visible and to be able to make choices from it?

I've had this same problem from time to time on several computers over the last two years, using ObjectDock Plus. Every time I log off my account, the problem goes away. I can use the taskbar Start Menu button instead of ObjectDock in the meantime.

what operating system?
no rightclick on desktop wouldn't be objectdock interfering
what desktop tweaking/enhancement programs do you have?
