Objectdock Plus Vista64 Problem

from Stardock Forums

I've been using Objectdock Plus with my Vista64 machine for a few months now and 2 days ago ran into a problem that I can't fix. All of a sudden when I brought my computer out of sleep mode a window popped up when OD+ started saying the "Dll/Hook failed to load. (cbt) Please reinstall and reboot. I've done so several times now and get the same message each time it starts. The docks show up and won't work at all. Please help me to fix this problem. Thanks!

Tried to uninstall and reinstall once more and this time it worked. Evidently the uninstalling process leaves tons of traces of the program all over the HD and in the registry. Getting rid of each last bit and then reinstalling did the trick. In case any others run into this just make sure you delete all folders with Objectdock in them (do a search to find them all) and then use Regedit to remove the registry entries (again search using Objectdock to find them) and you'll be able to reinstall a fresh copy. Not sure if Vista32 or XP are different in this regard but the uninstall routine needs a little work.

Alot of the ObjectDock configuration gets left behind so if you do have to do an uninstall/reinstall you don't lose your dock settings.  Clearing this out will leave you withthe default settings.  Also, ObjectDock not being really supported on 64 bit platforms could cause issues as well.
