Conflict with game - Can I restore names on tabs without loosing contents?

from Stardock Forums
I seem to have a conflict between OD plus and a game JD American Farmer. Although I've just installed the game, both times I've run it with OD plus it has caused problems in OD plus. The first time it removed half of my tab docks; the second time it has caused the tabs not to display the names, even though the names are still visible in the tab properties. I don't want to have to reinstall if I don't have to. Any suggestions?

On occasion, some software will conflict with other software, and there won't be much you can do about it... it happens with OD+ and a couple of apps I run. [not the same issue as you though]

As you probably already know, you can save the way you've set up your docks in OD+ ...so, if you're going to run a game that you know conflicts with OD+ just make sure you've saved your theme, and close out of OD+ until you stop playing.

It's what I do when running the apps I know have a conflict with OD+

I'm not usually using the dock when using the other apps anyway, so it isn't a bother to me.

Sorry I could'nt help more than that.

Hope you get it sorted to your liking though. OD+ is a wonderful tool

Thanks Erk -

I've checked into saving themes, etc. at your suggestion, and stumbled upon the solution! Turns out that OD+ just doesn't like the Arial font in its tab names! When I changed to Tahoma, the names magically reappeared!
