Strange problem with window states on Vista
Some apps are killed by ObjectDock, and are unusable

This is a very strange thing, and a heavy error I was unable to correct.
After I installed the free version of OD and drag some icons to the toolbar, some programs started to act very strange. Everything functioned OK before this.
The problem is, that I can not see the main window of the programs. I had this problem with Skype and PsPad editor. If I start Skype, it runs, logs in, everything looks ok except that I don't see the window. If I start it in full screen (maximized in the icon properties) it loads, and the window is there. But as I click on "restore down" to go back to normal view from fullscreen, it just disappears, and can not be get back anymore, only by closing it and startin again maximized.
The programs run in the background and Vista's rollover even shows the contents, but the window itself is not there.
Another strange thing is that on the windows taskbar some functions are missing from the context menu:
As you can see, the Move, Size and Restore menupoints are not there.
Needless to say, I tried to uninstall OD, reinstalled Skype and PsPad, nothing worked. Then I tryed windows restore, to a point before the OD install, and it successfully corrected the issue with PsPad, but my Skype is still messed up.
I even installed a new graphics driver, but no help. I run some system analyzers, registry cleaners, but no luck either. I played around with the troubleshooting options in OD, but still nothing. Searched google for a long time, but no results
So I'm out of ideas, and I really dont want to reinstall the whole Vista just for this small thing, but its not cool this way.
I did reinstall ObjectDock btw, and it's working fine, and no new program is affected by this disease.
cheers

If anyone had this problem, or can give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.
