Lots of ????

from Stardock Forums

Hello All.

I'm brand new to ObjectDock so I'm sure this will be just the first post of many.  I've just loaded ObjectDock a few days ago and am trying to get set up.

PC is running Windows XP SP2(Home).

Everything seems to be working pretty good .... I've downloaded some additional backgrounds and installed with no problem.

The one issue I'm having is this:

There are three users set up on the PC - 2 Admin and 1 Limited.

I have the Start Menu Launcher loaded on all three docks.  It works fine on the Admin accounts but whe I go to use it on the "limited" account, I get this small ObjectDock window that says:

"StartMenu helper file was injected but failed to take effect. Cannot show Start Menu at this time, please try again."

If I change the account permissions to Admin it will work...change it back to Limited - same problem.

Any ideas??

Thanks for any help. :grin:

This feature requires an account with admin access. Unfortunately when that kind of thing happens, there's really no other way around it. You might be able to trick it into running ObjectDock as one of your admin users, but that would require some third-party app intervention. One of my favorite apps, psexec, is capable of that: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
