ObjectDock 1.9 Plus locks when showing the TaskBar

from Stardock Forums

Folks,

Am running ObjectDock 1.9 Plus on a Vista x32 system.  I have an ObjectDock dock on the bottom and an ObjectDock tabbed dock on the right.  In my tabbed dock, I have a "TaskBar" entry for showing icons of my launched applications.   When I select that tab, ObjectDock locks solidly and consumes a CPU's worth of processing time.  No other diagnostics that I can find.   I can't even delete that tab as I have to select it first in order to delete it.

Well, did you have the basic version of Object Dock before getting the Plus?  Did you uninstall the basic version first? 

I run ObjectDock Pluse like you do with a Zoomer and a Tabbed Dock.  On the Tabbed Dock I have Taskbar and System Tray along with some three other tabs.  I'm on a XP Home 32 bit system but basically they should work the same. 

What else do you have on the Tabbed Dock? 

Have you installed any new Docklet that might be causing the problem? 

When you installed Object Dock Plus did you use Impulse?

Hi ... great questions ... thanks for the response.

 

Yes ... I did evaluate Object Dock before registering for Object Doc Plus.   I can't now remember if I un-install basic first.   I have a bunch of things in the tabbed dock include System Tray and Task bar.   I have a few extra docklets installed including the CPU monitor.   I did not install via Impulse.


I finally figured out how to remove Task Bar from the tabbed dock.   I put Object Dock into a maintenance mode by switching off its ability to show the Task Bar.  From there I was able to remove the tab for the Task Bar and then re-enabled Task Bar for my Object Dock.   So I am back up and running at full steam now.
