A problem with explorer.exe

Any Help please??

See here:

1. What OS and/or service pack are you running?
2. Is your OS updated?
3. Where did you download OD from?
4. What version of OD are you running? Free or Plus?

If you haven't done so already, please email support@stardock.com and start a trouble ticket. They will be able to assist you.

Windows XP SP 3 is the latest service pack.

System Tray icons are only available in ObjectDock Plus

Are you referring to the normal systray icons in the XP bar?

could have been just a glitch

once you logged on again you said it was fine. is it still fine?

Hi,

Yes, I amreferring to the normal systray icons in the XP bar and its fine when I logged on again, I have even tried it wih SP3 and its the same problem. Thanks

Do you mean these icons?

If yes, then let me tell you:

OD works fine for me in SP3.

If all the other problems are gone except the system tray, then it's good.

Pixeleo -   Samherzog isn't referring to ODock's system tray - the issue is XP's systray (which is tied into the the 'explorer error').

I use ODock Freeloader version - my XP system tray works just fine.

Samherzog - maybe a bad install?  have you tried an uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your replies, Yes I am refering to the windows XP system tray, When I reconfiger the OD free version with other icons (usual icons inside the OD application), remove and add new shortcuts on the OD panel and reboot the windows xp; at the first rebbot the windows looks to be blocked when it starts loading the WinXP system tray and the OD panel doesn't appear, I can't even click on Start>Programs, so I have to click Ctrl+Alt+Del to end the explorer.exe then logoff and logon again after that every thing works fine, I get the WinXP system tray icons and the OD panel. it looks like the OD blocks the explorer.exe or the explorer.exe blocks the OD from loading.

Thanks again

Ooops  

what docklets are on it? - not normal shortcuts, but those like 'weathere docklet' etc

I have just the weather docklet and other normal shortcuts like office on it
