[Help] ObjectDock Freeze

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi folks,

my little problem is: i tried put a theme in ObjectDock - normal - but... something happened and OB didn't work . So, i reinstall (unnistal too, may times)... well... to my surprise, OB didin't load up and CPU usage says that OB is using 100% of CPU, if it's really true i don't know, but the PC gonna very slow.

[i changed the dock, yz dock.. but now it doesn't let me change the icon... -___-]

You might try clearing the cache for ObjectDock (and ObjectBar if it wrote one) by deleting the ObjectDock (and ObjectBar) folders found in the "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder.

For my mini tutorial on this procedure, you can go here Link - I do not have ObjectBar installed, so it was not included in the tutorial, but you can use the same references.

Note - you may have to select the option "Show hidden files and folders" found in Tools > Folder Options.

I hope this helps.

How did you unistall it, through SD central or Windows? The add/remove programs in windows doesn't come close to removing all files a program puts on, or any changes to the system, it only removes key components so the program appears gone. There are programs that can be purchased or DLed at www.download.com that REALLY remove programs, as if they were never installed.

If people only knew just how much HD space is taken up by traces of old programs, which by the way causes most of the problems described in these forums.

Take care of and clean your computers regularly people, remember it does think, just doesn't reason. It can't be crammed with stuff, and pieces of it scattered all over a 110 gig harddrive

Your thread title says ObjectDock but in the messgae you say OB (ObjectBar) so I'm assuming it ObjectDock (OD).

High CPU usage usually means a docklet is misbehaving. You need to remove all the docklets until you get OD stable again.
