i don't think typical, more quasisemiprevalent for some - been freeloading going on 5, no probs - just don't like where it pops up - prefer to use a start.vbs

I have got 1.90i[b].020 installed. It is the first version I installed (because I registered and didn't bother to install the non-latest version). What I did before the problem first occured was changing the command for the Startmenu docklet to Vistas Flip 3D as I wanted to know whether this command miraculously works on my Basic edition. It didn't, so I changed back. That's when I noticed the error. I also had changed the icon.
I'm running a Turion 64 and Radeon Xpress 1100.

Zubaz is very correct. It is policy that the free version never gets the bug fixes untill the full update is made available. Only until then does the trial get bumped up.

planetLars if you like please start a ticket with us at Stardock support. Also please make sure you didn't install over the trial version since the two do not play well together.

Hi!
Sorry for my bad english, but I'm german. I also got the problem with the startmenu. I installed the newest Version via Stardockcentral. My actualley version is now "Version 1.90 Build 534". I think it isn't the beta, am I right? I want to fix the bug with the startmenu. How can I get the beta Version, or when we can expect the new version of objectDock. It`s really an amazing software!
Thanks for your help.

Yes me too when i use the Molten skin..and the Start menu in OD+ all the menus dissapear,

Vista Ultimate
Nvidia 7600GT

We are aware of the molten animation menu dissapearing, if you mouse over it you will see the menu again. This is currently being worked on.

I too am still having this core issue (startmenu helper file was injected....) off and on. I had this problem pretty soon after I bought it, back in Nov/Dec timeframe and based on other posts about resolution, ended up installed the latest beta version in order to get it reliably working. I'm now running v1.90 build 537u. I'm on WinXP SP2 with nVidia 7600 GT. What is weird is I'll go weeks without the problem, then all of a sudden it will happen w/o warning. The only way I've found to get the startmenu back is to completely restart my PC which is a real pain. Doesn't matter if I stop/start objectdock over and over, the startmenu will always fail once it fails the first time.

I've got it throwing the error right now, and I don't have any programs running or open that I don't always have on an everyday basis. I've never been able to narrow anything down to something unusual I'm running or doing when it happens...it just does.

Is there even work continuing on Stardock's side to further investigate and resolve this? I'd be happy to help troubleshoot and narrow down what is going on. Is anyone pursuing formal resolution for this issue?

Yes as I said the developers are aware of this situation. I have this issue pretty well documented and a fix is underway. There is no time line on this resolution except ASAP. 

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sorry if I was going back over covered ground, but I hadn't seen anything posted with a definitive absolute answer for the purchased version on build 537, and most postings seem to refer to versions in October/Nov, which was before I upgraded. I was afraid all the posts I had seen truly were referencing earlier versions. Thanks so much for clarifying. I'm looking forward to the fix "ASAP"

Running OD+ on Vista with no problems whatsoever. Good work guys.

The problem seems to focus more on XP users. Though I am looking for more info to pin this down for the devs better. If you are a Vista user with OD+ (latest version) having start menu issues please let me know.

What I would need to know is:

Video Card and driver date
Any additional docklets that do not come with Object Dock that are running
Any other skinning software you have running

This can apply to XP users but I encourage any of them to PM that info as I am sure there are a few of them. I might not respond to everyone that replies so my thanks in advance.

Good God, man!   

I have the same problem.

Running OD+, Vista Home Premium, NVidea GF 8600 GT, driver december 11 2007, all other docks work fine, no skinning.

Succes!

Same problem.

Running OD Plus Windows XP Pro 64-Bit SP2, NVIDIA GF 8600 GTS, driver 12/18/2007 6.14.11.6928, all other docks are working fine.

It used to work on this machine/setup and somewhere along the way it stopped working.

OD+ v1.90 Build 537u (beta release)
XP SP-2 (32 bit)
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 55/280 PCI (dual HPL1906 LCD)
No other skinning software, using all in-the-box docklets and skins
