Reply to Dock wont stay on the primary monitor in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I found a fix. It's a pain because you can't modify your dock once the fix is in place, but at least I get my docks where they should be. Basically, edit the file containing your dock settings. You need to comment out the line that specifies which display to use. Save the file and then make it READ ONLY. Since there is no setting, the dock automatically comes up on the first display every time, regardless of whether I've moved my laptop to another docking station o

Reply to Dock wont stay on the primary monitor in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="1" id="3585691"] I'm guessing that upon moving the laptop to another "dock", ObjectDock probably sees the laptop screen as primary. I assume that by "moving the laptop to another dock" you mean a docking station? [/quote] I guess it's possible, but I never have the laptop open to activate the laptop screen, and it's disabled in the Windows desktop settings. Yes, by "dock" I mean a docking station.

Dock wont stay on the primary monitor in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, with the latest version of ObjectDock (2.20.0.862). For some reason the Dock refuses to stay on the Primary monitor. I have a laptop, mounted in a dock, connected to two monitors via Displayport ports. I can set the ObjectDock to be on the Primary Monitor, and it will stay there between boots without an issue. If I move the laptop to another dock the ObjectDock will end up on the secondary monitor and I have to go set it back to the Primary

Reply to Can ObjectDock launch 64bit apps from a folder yet? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

[quote who="gevansmd" reply="8" id="3463835"] As you can see above, the files are in Program Files, not (x86).[/quote]It depends whether you install the 32bit or 64bit version. Unfortunately, we need to run the 32bit version even though our OS is 64bit. The 64bit version of Office 2013 won't run along side of the 32bit version of Office 2007. Most of the users posting here are most likely running 32bit software on their 64bit OS.

Reply to Office 365 does not work in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I'm not familiar with the stacks plugin, but my folders are already working fine with Office 2007. I have a folder on my dock named "Productivity". In there are just shortcuts to the productivity apps I use - Office programs, Notepad, etc. Now that I have Office 365 installed I find that I can't start any of the new Office programs from shortcuts placed in that folder.

Thanks, but that does not work for folders unfortunately.

Office 365 does not work in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. We recently installed 32bit Office 365. We can't get any of the Office 365 programs to launch from ObjectDock. We have even tried creating a junction to the "Program Files" directory to avoid the "Program Files (x86)" issue that ObjectDock has suffered from forever. How can we put our new Office apps onto our ObjectDock?

Can ObjectDock launch 64bit apps from a folder yet? in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I have never been able to launch a 64bit application from a folder shortcut in ObjectDock. Is this possible? Explanation: I use the 64 bit version of FireFox (named Nightly). It is installed at "C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe". I have a shortcut to the executable in a folder named "Internet". The shortcut target is "%ProgramW6432%\Nightly\firefox.exe -p Nightly -no-remote". This shortcut works fine when double-clicked. I have a shortcu

[quote]I can't find any way to start the command prompt with a 64 bit command prompt. I also wonder if other apps started from my docks are running in 32bit more instead of 64bit.[/quote] This still has not been solved. I'm currently running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. There isn't anywhere in Objectdock to show the version number, but it's the most recent version available for download. Currently on my dock I have shortcuts to two windows games - Solitaire an

I have an issue that I'm pretty sure is being caused by ObjectDock. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

*sigh* Just as I thought... In Impulse, I click the menu, choose to "restore archive", open the .impusle file and it simply says "The archive could not be restored".

Well... PC is finally just acting up too much. I'll be formatting the PC and installing Windows 7. Wish me luck. Hope I have no problems reinstalling my backups! :) FWIW, I'm trying to restore Tweak 7... I've tried other application .impulse files with the same results.

Reply to Object Dock & Gaming Issues in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I *REALLY* hate when that happens. It affects other programs as well, but I'm sure that there is a way to avoid it as not all games do this. I would tend to blame the games, but it would be nice to have a workaround.

Reply to Archiving applications? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Well... I've been dealing with Stardock support for several days and I still don't know where archives are stored on my PC. My subscription runs out in a few days and Stardock is doing their best to make sure that I do NOT have access to the software after that time. Can someone simply tell me: - What directories do I need to backup to save all the "downloaded and archived" software, so I can reinstall Impulse later and get my software back. - Where are my regi

I'm currently running Vista 64bit. My PC is having issues and I need to wipe the drive and do a fresh OS install. At this point I'm not sure if I'm going to reinstall Vista or load the Windows 7 RC. I have most of the Object Desktop software downloaded and archived, but I'm having a few problems getting the last few programs. I am also not sure where these archives are and how I can back them up to reinstall on my fresh Windows install. So, I've got the following questions...

[quote]quite an erronous statement seeing that apple DIDN'T invent the dock. apple don't invent things they just take things, tweak them then claim them as their own.[/quote] I don't think this was directly related to the "dock", but to the way that Stardock is removing most of the user control of the software and only allowing users very narrow minded interfaces and options.

They won't credit anyone IF 2.0 comes out. I've had my subscription for just about a year and they haven't done anything to ObjectDock, except to downgrade it. Funny thing is that the website said that a new version was coming soon even before I subscribed. I guess by "soon" they mean before the next ice age. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]
