Can't Launch Outlook from Calendar Docklet-Vista in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

I've recently switched to Vista (fresh install) and I can not get my calendar docklet to launch Outlook. It will open Outlook, and then pop up with the error, "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." Any ideas? This happens even if I place a plain old shortcut to Outlook 2007 on my OD. Thanks,Rod

Reply to 3 Bugs With ObjectDock Plus V1.9 in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Did you ever figure out the Outlook problem or the Systats problems. I can't get outlook to launch from Objectdock. It gives the same error as above. I can launch Outlook fine from Sidebar, Quicklaunch or startmenu. Only OD+ chocks? Systats work, but no battery, or Wifi info??

Reply to Sysstats No Meters listed-Vista Problems in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Ok, uninstall, clear cache, delete program folder, reinstall. Right click OD.exe set compatibility to xpsp2, and run as administrator. Now CPU history runs great, but battery and Wifi, no go. When I looked at my old XP laptop, battery was using a Battery Meter Class, ....that is not even listed in Vista. Wifi uses a vbs script and the objWMIService.ExecQuery doesn't appear to be workable in Vista, any ideas or help?

Sysstats No Meters listed-Vista Problems in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I just installed OD+ on my Vista 32Ultimate laptop. I installed sysstats and CPU history..All was good. Installed Wifi info, and no go....so I started messing around with permisions and ownership of the OD+ install folder, now CPU history is broke, always says -1. When I go into configure the meter, there are no meters listed to choose from...no network, no memory, etc. Can anybody help me? Tried clearing cache, and uninstall and reinstall. No joy.

Reply to objectdockplus keeps closing. in Docks WinCustomize Forums

I too have been having this problem. I haven't narrowed it down to anything in particular. I have my dock reserving the left edge of my screen....funny thing is that when it quits the edge stays reserved. I OD icon will still be in the tray till I hover over it then the OD icon disappears, and I just go to the start menu and restart it. It's kind of annoying. Any ideas? OD1.9 on WinXP SP2

Reply to Systats has No Backgrounds in Docks WinCustomize Forums

Thanks. I've tried a variety of sysstats configs from all sources. And they all work great on my user side, but when I log in my wife as a user on my xp pro sp2 machine, there are no backgrounds, not even an option to set a background or meter class only text class. Can anybody help me?

Systats has No Backgrounds in Docks WinCustomize Forums

I just set up my wife as a second user on my home computer and started Objecct Dock Plus for her. I initially had some troubles with WMedia player and Sysstats not running at all. I was able to get WMP and Systats to run by following the advice at http://forums.tweakguides.com/archive/index.php/t-977.html but Sysstats is still not working properly. I can add a sysstats item, but there are no backgrounds and some of the meters don't work. When I try to configure the overl

I think I finally found it. It finally gave me an error about "Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API" apparently there is a MS KB and fix for it. Read about it here.

Reply to Flyout menus-flyout vertically on side dock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Thanks Sir Zubaz, but no it is not. I'm running ODPlus 1.3 build 526u. For regular non-tabbed docks there is no option for it to reserve the screen edge, like you are able to do with tabbed docks. You can only place it on any edge and set the z-order, but you can not reserve the screen edge. Is there a newer build?

Reply to Windowblinds Prevents Computer from Entering Hibernation in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

It's weird. I thought for sure it was WB. Then I thought it was Yahoo Widgets, and then and then and then. It turns out whenever I change something ie install, uninstall, change some start menu settings etc it fails to hibernate. Other times it will hibernate 2,3,4, or more times then fail. I've pretty much given up. It works as long as I am not messing around too much.

Reply to Flyout menus-flyout vertically on side dock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

It happens if the item is in the middle or on the edge. I think I figured out why it happens, but I don't know if there is a fix. I started with a new tabbed dock as a drawer on the left side of the screen and checked to reserve screen edge, but not to autohide. Started adding shortcuts and one flyout menu. It worked until I stretched the background to run the length of the screen. Now it only flys out downward and not out to the side. <img src="http://images.stardock.c

It's weird. It is new. And it hibernated the first few days, then I proceded to intall all my stuff. Now, I've unistalled WB, shut down OD+, shut down Yahoo widgets, Dell's Nicconfig Power utility, and various other apps from starting, now it will hibernate one time after booting, but it will fail on the second attempt...It will act like before and the hibernation option is then greyed out, and I must shutdown, standby or restart. Weird.

I think my title says it all. When I have WB loaded with any skin, it prevents Hibernation. I will suspend, but not hibernate. Here's my WB info: WindowBlinds 5.1 System Information Report: STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+ WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Flyout menus-flyout vertically on side dock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I've just created an tabbed OD on the side of my screen that I'm trying to use as a 'sidebar.' The problem is that I've added a couple of flyout menus to the dock but they flyout from underneath the icon instead of out to the side. I can post some shots, but I think I described it correctly. Is this normal? Or should I start all over, clearing the cache and such?

Reply to ObjectDock hidden behind Maximized Windows in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I'm sorry to join in w/o adding any help. But I too have the same questions. I'm using OD+ 1.3. And I'd like to use it to create a "Sidebar" type thing. I see that if I create a tabbed dock on the side of my screen I can set it to reserve screen space. Works PERFECT. EXEPT, with tabbed docks I can't have a totally transparent background and there aren't as many options for zooming/glowing icons in tabs. I (and I think castironpants) really want to have a standa

Reply to ObjectDock 1.3 released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

How do you do this: Docks can now reserve the edge of a screen so that windows cannot cover them. Does this mean when I have a dock at the top of the page and I open a doc or web page the page will be lower on the screen so as not to cover the dock?
