Dock hangs with hourglass

Hi all,

I am posting here since the company just does not respond to to tech support requests.

I have simple bottom dock with a few apps and shows the current ones running on one side. All was great for a few months but now any time I pull it up to change the active program I ahve to wiat like 10 seconds with an hourgless then I can click on an icon. Nothing changed on my system just proir to this starting. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Sherman,

What kind of docklets do you have on your dock? I'd recommend heading into the Advanced Options and choosing the options to temporarily disable docklets. Reload ObjectDock and see if it still takes a while. If not, then there’s a good chance one of the docklets you're running is slowing it down. I've found "SysStats" docklets tend to do this...memory meters/cpu meters that kindof thing.

If that doesn't do it, I'd try temporarily turning off system tray functionality, and perhaps taskbar functionality, to see if either of those are the culprit, just for the sake of having a better idea in case something is wrong there that we need to fix. Less likely than the docklet scenario, but worth checking out.

Let us know how it goes - thanks!
