    ObjectDock driving me CRAZY

    It crashes almost every startup! Not to mention TWO instances load every startup?! There are two object dock icons in my taskbar. Why two load I have no idea, but sometimes both crash or neither crash and I can see two docks behind each other. I don't have any other theme/appearance related program installed on my computer. Only one instance of objectdock shows up in my startup folder. When I turn startup off inside the program, no dock loads.

    To add to this sometimes my stacklet icons don't load. Sysstats also crashes frequently and needs to be reloaded... :confused:

    What gives?! Help me out guys! :(

    Lets see, turn off the autorun and make a shortcut to the objectdock, copy it to your startup folder.

    I tried that already. I still get two instances. But if I unload all of them and then click on the shortcut only one opens?

    Really weird!

    have you checked the startup folder on your user and all user?
    maybe each of them got shortcut for objectdock.

    Uninstall Objectdock. Use Ccleaner to remove leftover reg entries. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS AND MAKE SURE TO BACKUP!!!

    Restart the system. Reinstall Objectdock. :)

    Try Rocketdock. Maybe you'll have less problems with it.

    Thanks a lot guys for your help.

    Ya I checked all of the possible startup locations and there are no duplicates. I made sure only one shortcut existed in only one startup folder so that the others are empty.

    I did a reinstall with cc but still same result. :confused:

    What does the Startup items in MSCONFIG, CCleaner and Windows Defender show?
