Problems with System Tray Icons on Dock

StardockTray64.dll is not a valid Win32 application

Hello,

 

i have used Object Dock for a couple of days. One of the Features that got me into buying it was the possibility to use it for specified System Tray Shortcuts.

 

I started using it under Win 10. After some days, on booting into Winwos, the following message would pop up:

 

Problem statring C:\Programms(x86)\ObjectDock\StardockTray64.dll

C:\Programms(x86)\ObjectDock\StardockTray64.dll is not a valid Win32 application

 

(The acctual text might not be 100% correct, as i am translating from German, but i suppose you get what it says.).

 

So, i googled and found quite some websites saying that this might be caused by a virus. I did a Scan in System with 3 Tools and one out of System with a "boot from CD" Virus Scaner. Nothing was found. I supposed it might be because Winwods 10 is causing some trouble and since it is overall rather not that good i formated my system and reinstalled Winwods 7. All fine, espeacialy Object Dock and the Tray on it worked just as intended. 

Today i finished donwloading the 230 Updates for Winwos 7 and installed them. My PC rebooted and as soon as i entered Windows i encountered a quite familar Message...

 

So, since i am having this on 2 completly seperate Operating Systems it might not be some virus. I am running on a 64-Bit System, btw.

 

Anybody know how to fix it?

 

Thanks.

 

Oh, on a side note: sry for my bad spelling, I am not a native speaker :-)

Try uninstalling Objectdock and re-installing it. See if that helps. One or more of those 200 plus updates may have corrupted the installation.
