ObjectDock Plus + Office 2007 = Bad

from Stardock Forums

Just purchased ObjectDock Plus and I've found a bug using it with Office 2007. 

I have the setting to show active applications in the dock turned on.  All applications that I've tested seem to work EXCEPT, Word 2007, Excel 2007, and Powerpoint 2007.  When launched, a blank area will appear in the "running applications" section, and you can even hover over it and see the name of the app, but no icon.  Also, when you do close the application, the invisible icon still remains in the dock, where other application will disappear as they should when closed.

Some components of Office 2007 work fine....such as Access, Outlook and Publisher.  It's just the "big 3" that are misbehaving.

I'm hoping this will be fixed soon.

On another note....why does ObjectDock not have it's own section in categories?  Why does ObjectBar still exist if ObjectDock is the "new thing"?  And what is ObjectBar 2?  All this is very confusing and needs to be collapsed/combined into something that makes sense.

My two cents for today!

hy does ObjectDock not have it's own section in categories?
End of quote


it does.. right under ObjectBar 2

click 'edit' at top of the gallery list on the home page, see if you have objectdock unchecked to not show

Don't know where that is.  Home page in Impulse?  Edit?

In Impulse, start a new blog entry, and look at the categories.  There's no ObjectBar or Dock.

my bad, thought you meant galleries and you didn't mention Impulse

no channel for 'Docks' under OS Customization?

The current version of Object Dock through Impulse is a beta/alpha update. Could you try downloading and logging into Stardock Central and 'updating' to the last full version of the software to see if you get the same results?

You may download Stardock Central here: http://sdc.stardock.com/sdcentral_setup.exe

Also just a side idea are your video drivers current?
