windows 7 updates - start up issue

objectdock startup issue

from Stardock Forums

Windows 7 did a recent update.   Now when I start computer, I get a series of boxes that state that certain .dll files can't be found.   Closing the boxes leads to 2 out of 3 times objectdock will not start.

 

can I reinstall objectdock without losing my setup?   I could not find a way to just repair the current installation.

 

thanks for your help ...

OK, logged into my account and (re)downloaded the product and reinstalled.   It KEPT my former settings while appearing to correct the .dll issues.

 

I WOULD SUGGEST that you modify the instructions to Install OR Repair installation and I would have proceeded the first time ...

 

thanks ... sorry to take up time ...

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.
