Were you getting any sort of error messages? What kind of Docklets were you running (if any) ? Were you using alot of objects on the dock?

only docklet I had running was the clock and less than 10 objects on the dock. I tried it with, and without, the taskbar function. No error messages, just a blue screen reminiscant of windows 98 (using XP) that says something about a physical memory dump.

Ouch! Try uninstalling ObjectDock, rebooting, installing it again, rebooting, then running it.

wassup i downloaded object dock onto my laptop but it is not operating properly. this is hard to explain but ill try my best. it seems that each icon is sectioned off so wen i roll over one icon the others disappear or get cut off. i dont understand why. i downloaded it onto my desktop computer at home and it works fine. i tried many things on my laptop to try to get it working properly but i still havent found a solution. if someone has any ideas or hints as to wat can be wrong with it. thanks

How about changing the zoom mode from wide to narrow, or vice versa?

Anyone else notice that if one of your dock items points to a folder, you can hold your left mouse button over the item and get the contents? I just discovered this yesterday, totally by accident, and I think it pretty darn nifty.

Yep.....pretty cool feature that didnt work for me for about 6 months, then one day "Kapow" it started working. Well, not really a Kapow, but more of a click. Wierd.

I was wondering if there is a way to tweek an OD Start Menu item to display other folders or locations than the Programs menu?

I dont believe so.

TIP: Do not drag everything off the dock. Causes it to crash.

You need to have animated Shortcut Docklet....search the OD library for it.
