ObjectDock Plus crashing (runtime error)

July 7, 2009 11:37:27 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Ive been running ObjectDock Plus for a number of months without issue. Today I suddenly got this message & ObjectDock shutdown:

 

I tried restarting my computer but got the same message.  I havent recently added any new software so Im not aware of anything that may cause a conflict.

Any advce gratefully recieved!

Thanks, Lou

If you have the Weather docklet, try removing it first and then restarting ObjectDock.

That worked!  Thanks so much ikswobeL0!

Is there an issue with weather docklet?  Would be a shame if I cant use it.  I find it really useful.

There have been issues at times, but it seems to be at weather.com's end (from what I've read).

Unil it's fixed, if it's critical, use a weather gadget or widget ... it's been my work around in the past. Don't know why, but my docklet is working...

Now I've probably jinxed it.

Object Dock Plus uses Accuweather.com so it shouldn't be affected by the weather.com issue.

I'm not sure about where the free version gets it's feed from.

I'm using the xml weather docklet and have the same problem that started today also.  Deleting the weather docklet fixed it.  Does this issue usually resolve itself soon from weather.com's end or could this problem last awhile? 

I hate using the Accuweather docklet because it is anything but accurate; the temperature shown on the dock says 68 sunny/cloudy and temperature for today on the flyout menu says 72 sunny/cloudy but it says 74 on their website and there is not a single cloud outside, AT ALL.

Is there a way to make a script using NOAA's National Weather Service or a similar service?

 

Edit:  After searching around it seems the problem with the accuweather docklet reporting inaccurate information is because of the stardockweather.ocx file.  I replaced it with another one and now accuweather seems to be working fine. I still don't trust it completely but it's useable now at least.  This link has instructions on how to fix it  https://forums.wincustomize.com/332642
