Adding that file to Startup made no difference. Task Manager shows the process is running.

Reply to SOLVED: ObjectDoc Plus 2+ not working again in Docks WinCustomize Forums

I made some changes to the Task Scheduler and it says it started the OD task correctly but still doesn't appear when UAC is turned on. I have never booted with the file mentioned in the article and located in the Common Files area. Checking the launch at startup option puts a link to ObjectDock.exe in the Start Menu/startup, not sdmcp.exe. I will try to add it to Startup regardless and see what it does.

I read the article. I'm not sure how that helps. By the way, if I completely disable UAC OD+ loans at boot time but the drag & drop and dead Chrome icon problems continue. I will try to fiddle with the Task Scheduler again and see if I can get it to start with UAC turned on.

Ok in that folder there are 4 .dll's, 1 ocx and 1 exe I don't recognize: sdmcp.exe. The description is MCPserver. Other files: mcpcore.dll, MCPStub.dll, ODimg.dll, ODZp.dll and StardockWeather.ocx. Do any of these sound like something I should put in the startup folder? As for the tasks it couldn't complete some involved the registry, entries that weren't there so I figured that was ok. I did manually delete the ObjectDoc

I ran a bat file support had sent me a while back wheil trying to debug the issue originally but it had problems doing all its tasks. Let me see if I can find the file you are referring to. My Common Files folder under C:\ProgramData contains a single .dat file. Is there another Common Files folder?

SOLVED: ObjectDoc Plus 2+ not working again in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Uninstalling and running CCleaner seems to have fixed everything. The latter was the crucial step. Grrrrr! I had a lot of trouble with OD+ when I moved to Win 7. I finally got everything working except that it continually grabbed 25% of one CPU. I played with a combination of Tiles and Fences for a while but decided to give OD another chance. Many of the problems I had when I first moved to Win 7 are back: OD refuses to load at bo

Reply to Fences Portals in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Oh I see. And I messed up the version numbers anyway. It's Deskscapes that's at 8.2. Windowblinds is at 8.06. Since no one else is responding and I'm at a loss myself, I suggest you open up a support ticket. Also you might try one of MS's FixIt programs. There might be one that handles aero. In fact here it is: http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/aero_

Reply to Fences Portals in Fences WinCustomize Forums

I didn't use Fences when I was running WB 7 but WB 8.2 is the current version. Have you tried updating? It seems unlikely that fences requires Aero to run since that's not supported in Windows 8.

Thank you! I never noticed that. Even better there's an option to hide the dock which I chose for now instead.

Reply to Auto Hide Problem in Fences WinCustomize Forums

If you have the auto hide option turned on then any task, including invoking the Start Menu, will hide the fences after the timeout period.

On my PC Chrome is never skinned, no matter which nWB I use. I don't have it excluded in the "per application" tab. Should the WB frame and buttons be visible with Chrome? I'm running the latest WB and Chrome versions on Win 7 64 bit.

Reply to Chrome shortcut's not handled correctly in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Here's a way to get around the issue: From the google chrome app menu, right click on an app and choose create shortcut then choose to the desktop. Then create a unique bat file containing the command in the shortcut. OD should see the bat file as the source rather than the executable chrom.exe within and properly annotate the running app.

Reply to The permanent CPU usage in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I saw the same thing when I upgraded from Vista to 7. I finally stopped using OD+ and switched to a comination of Fences and Tiles. Never found a reason for the high CPU usage.

Reply to Takes up 25% cpu in DeskScapes WinCustomize Forums

I am seeing the same CPU issue but have my doubts DeskScapes is the culprit. I have done online searches and there are way too many people having this problem to be a Stardock issue. Unfortunately, none of the solutions that have worked for others have worked for me. And none of them involved DeskScapes. I even chatted with an MS tech who gave me some steps to resolve the issue but it came back a week or so later.

Reply to Clean Crisp Styles Please in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I tend to go for the moderately detailed blinds, no double bezels or extra doodads sticking out of the main window rectangle but I do like interesting close/minimize/maximize buttons. I can see using some of the above "simple" blinds though. There is some good work there. [e digicons]:')[/e] Congratulations to all the skinners who created them.

Tiles sometimes not accessible in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Has anyone else seen this and know a solution. Sometimes I cannot access the Tiles screen (docked on the left side and hidden) when I have application windows open to maximum size. If I make an app sligthly smaller than full size then I can access the Tiles screen. Also, after rebooting the problem goes away for a while but then returns. I'm running at 1920x1080 resolution, Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate and the latest version of Tiles.
