error with object doc

start menu docklet

April 30, 2007 6:33:08 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
hi,

i have downloaded the free version of object dock 1.90 build 534

when i start using the start menu launcher docklet i get a error message and the start menu colapses...

the error message is as follows:

"StartMenu helper file was injected but failed to take effect. Can not show start menu at this time, please try again."

if i try again it will crash again. the issue is that the start menu is not usable at all.

thanx for any support.

I've got the exact same problem.

However, when I use the Windows button on the keyboard to open the start menu (press twice - once to open it and once again to close it), the start menu on OD will work again...for a while. After some time, the problem would recur, and I had to do the same thing again.

OS = Windows XP SP2.
OD 1.9 build 534.

For me, it's the same. But at times I have another error message:
"OD was unable to find the startmenu to show. Can not show start menu at this time, please try again." So I try, over and over again.... same problem.
The Windows button isn't any help this time!

hi,

i found a work-arround through a .vbs file. here is how...

1. create a file e.g. start_menu.vbs

2. paste this in there (it is a vbs script that brings up the start menu):

set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"

3. link the start_menu.vbs file to object dock start menu link

4. works for me
