    RocketDock Shutdown


    Greetings!

    Firstly i did a search and did not find an answer to my problem.
    I actually have 2 seperate docks installed:

    1. ObjectDock (by stardock)
    This dock works perfectly without a hitch. I added a docklet
    called 'StackDocklet' which is working correctly. The StackDocklet
    basically allows you to click an icon and it pops-up whatever
    folder you have it pointed at in a little glassy/semi-transparent
    window so you can access a bunch of stuff that is real important
    to you (tee hee). Anyway i suppose most people have an idea of
    how the stacks thingy works......

    2. StarDock
    This dock works as well and it has the same StackDocklet
    installed (ObjectDock and StarDock are compat. with each other
    for the most part) and the StackDocklet works on it as well,
    however, this is where the problem comes into play.....

    Everything is fine until i 'QUIT' the RocketDock or until i
    restart the system. As soon as i do i get this.....

    ''RocketDock had a problem loading your icons. Would you
    like RocketDock to load the default icons?'' (or something like
    that).

    This is NOT GOOD! If i have to choose ''YES'' to load defaults
    'EVERY TIME'' then it's not worth using! Is it the size of the
    icons? They are .png and that's the same as what comes with
    the dock (the default icons). I am at a loss as to why it
    would have the problem loading the icons??????

    Anyone else have this same thing happen?

    Thank's In Advance!!!
    Dave

    P.S. I have tried re-installing everything 2 or 3 times and even
    tried some different icons but i still get the same problem.

    Have you tried running it in Vista compatibility mode to see if there's any difference?

    Yeah, that and sometimes having to run a trusted program as an admin might help, as sometimes certain programs require elevated permissions to have proper access.

    Solved


    Airbot,

    Well sorta!

    Of course the only REAL solution is if the author of the software
    re-writes some code or...... well the other OR isn't a real OR
    because MS isn't gonna re-code W7 just so i can use my
    RocketDock.... ha ha ha!

    Anyway, i tried what you suggested and actually set RocketDock
    to run in VISTA mode and also to run it as ADMINISTRATOR and
    so far, so good. I tried my best to MAKE it glitch and could not
    even get it to hic-up!

    So we will call this one GOOD ENOUGH!

    Thanks for the suggestions. All issues should be this
    easy to resolve huh?

    Cheers!!!

    That's good news Dave. I'm glad you got it to work out and let's hope it stays that way. :)

    hey you can take ownership and full control over rocketdock polder in programfile and in registry(start menu>run>regedit>find rocketdock folder then take permission and ownership).this will need no compatibility or no elevated mode permissions.
