ObjectDock Plus Losing All Settings

OK i bought the plus version and put it on my desktop and my laptop.  both have windows xp.  at least once every month every setting and shortcut i put into it disapears, the user options (hide when not in use, stay on top ect.) default to original settings, and the location defaults to the bottom of the screen.   all colors and visual settings default as well.   i dont use the weather applet cuz it was so problematic, and im starting to regret buying this software.  does anyone know why the program defaults itself repeatedly?  any help is greatly appreatiated.  thank you very much!
