Pinnacle Studio 12, 14, 15 hangs with objectdock

Upon launching Pinnacle Studio, it gets to about 85% and hangs. If I close Objectdock, Pinnacle Studio launches fine.

These two programs existed fine together for years, but all of a sudden now they don't.

One of my I.T. employees finally discovered this issue after days wasted reinstalling OS's and drivers.

Just thought I'd let you know.
