Reply to New Version... anytime? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Well, in the service of accuracy, I did a little research and discovered that one has to go back to the 1.59/1.6 beta version to see ANY new functionality added to ObjectDock...and that was in April of 2007. So, yes, ObjectDock has seen nothing but bug fixes (and there are many outstanding bugs) for TWO YEARS now. [e digicons]:'([/e]

That's all it takes, amigo. Have fun! Worst thing you can do is break the script, but that's why you make a backup, copy over the broken one, and try again. :)

Well, to be honest, these forums have a pretty crappy search/results paradigm. In order to find the thread, I went to Google, searched, and that finally found the thread I wanted so I could come back here, hehe Either way, credit goes to everyone in that thread who finally reasoned it out, and we're glad to help always.

Reply to Question Regarding RAM Usage in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Why are you worried about your RAM? Vista is designed to optimize itself to use as much RAM as possible the longer it runs, etc. The 64 bit version will always use up more than the 32, but you still seem to not actually be running any applications that even begin to take up large chunks of RAM. Unless you suspect/see a memory leak, don't worry about RAM under Vista. If you have 4gb or more, you're fine. Only graphic artist nuts like me need more.&

Um, why has no one mentioned that System Tray and Taskbar support DOES work with Object Dock Plus on 64 bit Windows Vista. I'm using it now! This problem was solved in this thread https://forums.wincustomize.com/331379/page/1/#1988943 back in December. Here was my description of the fix, which requires you download Stardock Central...

It's still the same video playing on both monitors at the same time. It's still a great dream, but not what the OP is talking about though. :)

zndkwin, there's a good chance that graphics card is overpowered for that CPU. In other words, you won't get as much bang for the buck as you hope. But if they're less $100 maybe the boost would be worth it. :)

You can replace it for a few hundred dollars on the cheap end, so no, not much need to upgrade it IMHO. I've turned machines like this into file servers. :) And you can buy prebuilt machines with bundled LCD monitors for

[quote]i dont see why it would have anything to do with the gfx card though[/quote] Different cards have different hardware acceleration capabilities. Stardock tech support will ask this as well. However, since it can presumably run Vista Aero, it really should have no problems doing what ObjectDock asks of it. :)
