ObjectDock "Unable to Locate Component"

Wednesday, February 9, 2005 by Shannon Karnacki | Discussion: Docks

Hi, ObjectDock has been giving me a bit of a problem for quite some time now. Anytime I right click on the dock to go into properties to make any changes, I get the same message. It reads: "ObjectDock.exe - Unable To Locate Component...This application has failed to start because SysStatsCOM.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." However, when I immediately right click a second time, there is no problem and I can access the properties normally. I think I even reinstalled once hoping to solve this problem and it didn't help. I also have the SysStats docklet and SysStatsCOM.DLL. So I have no idea as to what's going on here. Could someone please help? Thanks, Shannon

The SysStats docklets has in the past caused some weird problems for some (but not all) people. Try to remove the docklet and see whether you still experience the same problem.

Thanks for your reply, aufisch. I can't believe I didn't think of that, and I don't think I've tried doing it. I will now though. Hopefully it's as quick and as easy of a fix as it sounds.

If you find out that it was the SysStats-docklet check your version of the docklet. There might be an updated version available (I believe the newest version is 2.0.1)
