Object Dock crashing on startup

March 27, 2004 8:00 PM from

Hi there, 1st post. Up until yesterday my Object Dock was running 100% solid all the time on XP Pro. Now it crashes when the weather docklet attempts to access the net while other systray apps are still loading and before my network connection initializes. Yesterday I also paid/registered Win Blinds. Before, the Winblinds ad-popup stalled the docklet on initial startup so it didn't attempt to access the 'net right away not causing a crash.

The temporary cure is to manually start the dock when Windows begins, but I'd really like to be able to have it automatically load. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Do you have it set to start on start-up with the box in the OD config, or via a shortcut in the startup folder?

I have it set by checking the box in OD config.

I tried loading through the startup folder. Does the same thing if I use the weather docklet.

If you have a firewall, give Object Dock access to 'Trusted' 'Internet' and, if necessary, 'Server' rights

How much stuff do you have on your dock? Docklets etc?
