Some apps won't load from Objectdock

But load fine from Start Menu and Explorer

Sunday, February 27, 2011 by elcoyoteloco | Discussion: ObjectDock

Hi all,
Really weird problem here. For some reason, some app links won't launch from Objectdock, yet others will. The only thing they have in common is that they're either Microsoft programs like Freecell or Snipping Tool, or programs that are used to modify Windows like Classic Shell Explorer and Start Menu Customizer.

At the same time, other MS programs like Media Player, and 3rd-party tweaking apps like Ultimate Windows Tweaker, launch just fine from Objectdock.
This also happens in Rocketdock, but the Start Menu and Explorer load these programs normally. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Like I said, weird. Any ideas?

Thanks
Dewie

Do you have any strange arguments that you are running the applications with? Are these applications natively 64-bit? Note tha due to how Windows on Windows work, ObjectDock will be unable to run natively 64-bit applications, as ObjectDock is 32-bit.
