ObjectDock Plus.......Problems

Saturday, July 24, 2004 by Csurfside | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Ok I have uninstalled and reinstalled, Checked for viruses and even done some other things with options. For some reason Object dock keeps crashing. When I use the fly out menus, anyone can give me some advise I would appreciate it. I never had a problem with ObjectDock untill I installed "Plus". I know thier has to be a way to fix it.

I have the Latest build of ObjectDock Plus. I uninstalled the original version and than reinstalled the Plus version. I have three different Tabed docks running. When I open up one of the docks and use the fly out menu's for my pictures folder, sometimes the program crashes. It's really annoying and I cant seem to fix it. I even tried deleting the dock and doing that one over, but then I had the same result!

I must admit that it is crashing rather often. I Have a Pentium 4 3ghz With a Gig of ram. I put another fly out menu on another dock and tried it and had it crash also. Please help!

Find out what's making it crash....get rid of the Fly Menus and see if it still crashes. If it does do away with all docks except one and see what happens. If I had to guess, I think it's probably that you're running three docks w/flyouts...

Im only running fly menues on one dock. It only crashes when I use the folder that has the flyout menus.

The Fly Outs have been a problem in both beta builds for some....stop using them until they get a better handle on it in the next build.

OD+ crashes for no apparent reason, but that's what happens with beta software. I've had it crash because I told it to shutdown. I watched it crash because I sneezed.   Oddly enough, I haven't seen it crash due to Flyouts.

Just be patient, the bugs are being worked on. I'm sure it will be stable soon...  )

because I sneezed


...was that a 'beta' or a 'Released Version' sneeze?

One thing that seems to help is to shut it down, and restart occasionally. There's a 'handle' leak that hasn't been fixed yet.

Gary... my sneezes are all 'released' versions. .

ThunderBird rawks!

It's far more secure than OE, and just as simple to use. You should give it a try.
