Something wrong with the weatherdocklet.dll docklet.
Here is a piece of source code of it:
if(!szZipCode || (strlen(szZipCode) != 5))
return;
So...It seems that it only work for the zipcode which length is less than 5. ISXX0007
or CHXX0116 doesn't work.
I think the weatherdocklet only work for U.S.A users.

Shaohao,
I am not sure what is going on there.
I just entered ISXX0007 and got the weather in Haifa, Israel.
Then I entered CHXX0116 and got the weather in Shanghai, China.
Can you access 'www.weather.com' web site? This is where the weather docklet obtains the information from.
If so, you might check to make sure your Anti-Virus and Firewall are allowing ObjectDock.exe to access the internet.
You might try unloading ObjectDock, then deleting the cache (ObjectDock folder) found in "C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder (where "C" is the letter drive, and "user name" is the name on account when logged in) - you may have to go to Folder Options > View tab to select "Show hidden files and folders" if you do not see Local Settings folder.
This will force ObjectDock to load the default theme, and if your firewall is configured to alert you and ask whether you want to allow internet access to a given program, you should get a message that ObjectDock.exe is trying to access the internet - at which point you would permit if you want weather information.
To the best of my knowledge, the weather docklet that comes prepackaged with ObjectDock should work anywhere that you can gain access to, and display weather at, www.weather.com.
Good luck.

1 - Haifa, Israel = ISXX0007
2 - If you can access properties of desktop icon "Right-click icon > Properties":
- Copy the "Target" address of desktop icon
- Create a new entry on your dock by right-clicking dock > Add > New Shortcut
- Now right-click the default entry "question mark" and select "Dock entry properties.."
- Paste the address you copied previously into the "Link" text field
- Use the Change Image button to select and apply an image
- Test functionality of new entry
- If all is well, you should now be able to remove the desktop icon as long as "Desktop" is not part of the "Target" address copied and pasted above.
That should do it.
