Generally speaking probably not a great idea to pull exe's and dll's down from somewhere and drop them into your programs...

Maybe, doesnt matter anyway, as I have taken them down, as I realise its against stardocks licence terms to re-distribute any part of there software.

However, if you want to still do this fix, here is a list of the files to pull out of the beta version, and put into the current release, closing objectdock plus, replacing files and then restart, and backing up the originals still applies.

I realise this maybe no better than installing the previous beta release, but I thought i would throw it out there anyway.

ObjectDock.exe

StartMenuPosition.dll

StartMenuPosition64.dll

StardockTray.dll

StardockTray64.dll

Rogue_Mafia

Ah, ya, then there would be that...

Anyway thanks for posting the workaround info though.

thx for the info, but where can i find the files, if not from installing an old beta from sdc?

You're not 'supposed' to as they're not for distribution apparently.

You'd think the lazy bastards at Stardock would fix the program for those of us (many) who use OD with x64 systems. Of course they won't do anything regardless of how many comments or requests we post, asking them nicely to fix thier broken program. Styardock Customer No-Service Sucks! Regardless of how much you have paid or how long you have been a loyal customer.

Ha whats with the o face. Your supposed to wait until they come out with the update

Yes, you are.

And since it's an easy fix, please, by all means.... Code a systray/taskbar docklet for us that works on 64bit. Easy as pie!

Advocating piracy is a quick ticket out of here.

Saleian, please see PM.

i understand the whole piracy thing but we all paid money for this. well at least i did. I guess i was being lazy and didnt want to hook up my other computer and install sdc and beta then strip the program down for what i need for laptop. i wish the would post on product page with red flags waving that system tray is not working on 64. i have a shortcut for start menu and properties but cant find one for system tray

RogueMafia Thanks alot. stardock take your time. i got what i needed

Hi!

I am on Vista x64-bit, Ultimate and I have had Object Dock + since I bought this computer some 3 months ago. And I have never had any problems. So I have a hard time to think thar the problem is x64. Can´t there bee any other program that causes this? Have you tried to run ccleaner when you un installed it and then rebooted before you installed it again? Just to make sure no old files is the cause? Maybe silly questin but anything may help!

Piracy fair enough... but it's very rude of a company to just "hold back on 2.0" which is supposed to have full x64 support, when there's absolutely no warning on the product page advising new customers of such. When customers DO purchase it, they find they have to jump through 20 hoops just to get the bloody thing to work as "advertised".

I would think there'd be at least an interim build that gave public x64 support for the basics they need because right now, 2.0 is still "coming soon" which could mean 10 years now for all we as paying customers are concerned!

Hold back? Uh... There's absolutely no profit in doing such thing, and Stardock *is* a commercial company. Rest assured that they do NOT hold back anything. If they had 2.0 to release, they would...

OD+ works exactly as currently advertised right out of the box.

I for one just can´t get why  you are having problem with x64. I run, WB,Object Dock Plus, CursorFX, Iconpackager, Dreamscene, Rainlendar and I have  Not run into any problems with any of these programs. And I have downloaded it from Impulse.

That´s why I think it is something else on your computers that cause this problems.

System Requirements:

I don't see anything that says 64bit.

No itt may be so. But I have Windows Vista x64, Ultimate and it works just fine by m e. Thats why I can´t understand your problems.  I don´t want to wind you up. I just think that sometimes it is really easy to think that it is depending on this software whitout  check if it is something on your own computer. But when one suggest that it is really easy to be angry and that was not my meaning. I was just tried to help! I beg you parden me.

There's nothing helpful in stating "it works for me". The only thing it means is that it works for your needs, which is a different thing all together. If you don't try to use the nonfunctioning bits of the software, obviously it will work just fine. (Don't be too put down by this remark though, I'm guilty of doing the same kind of remarks too at times, even though I try to avoid it)

OD+ runs fine, but with limited functionality on Vista x64. No systray support, which is what all the fuss is about. Because of that they state 32bit only.

CursorFX is full of annoyances on 64bit, which is why it's not officially supported. Weird stuttering when running a browser and odd behaviour on applying cursors are some examples.
