Object Dock has stopped working after Windows 7 update

from Stardock Forums

To all those who get the message after reboot "Object Dock has stopped working". This happened after the Windows update on November 10th. The problem lies in update KB3097877 and is a Windows Security update.

If you have this problem, go to Control Panel - Windows Update - Update History - Installed updates. Then search for this update KB3097877 in the Windows Security Section and uninstall it.

Reboot and you should be fine.

 

Good luck!

Strange.  I checked my history and my last update was 10/16, even though it checked for updates this morning.  I'm running W7 64-bit Ultimate.

Could be those updates were pulled by MS. They are aware and a fix should be coming soon.

The crash appears to be from MS update: KB 3097877.

They appear to have re-released it with a 'fix'. Please try to update windows again, reboot, and see if OD is still having issues.
