Good morning everyone, I'm new to posting in forums, never posted on WC before so if I make any stupid mistakes, sorry about that. On to the matter at hand.
I've had OD Plus V1.90, Build 535u, for years, probably at least 5 or 6 (been so long I can't remember!). For some background info so you know why I'm so worried about what to do about this issue....I have 14 tabs, on just one dock that covers most of the bottom of my 21" screen. Each tab is fairly full with all the stuff we put on tabs, I use it for everything I do. I don't use any docklets at all. I have a lot of .pngs and here's my worry part, just about all of the .pngs I've made myself over the years, I would guess and say I have a bit over a 150 or so and use most of them (for example one tab has 25 .pngs). I'm sure y'all know how a person goes about making them, so I won't bore you, but if you want to know what I use I'd be happy to answer (I cheat and do it the easy way!). Okay, so that's what I've got and here's the problem.
I've waited over a year to come on here and ask for help because I'm afraid someone is going to say uninstall and reinstall and that means I loose everything! So.........here's the deal. Every time I start my computer I get a message that says "ObjectDock has recovered setting from previous to a recent crash while saving, some of your most recent changes might not have saved. Please check to make sure that all the dockets you are using are current and not causing crashing while saving." I have to hit OK before the compter will continue to load OD. As I said I don't have/use docklets, never have. And I've never crashed OD while doing anything to it, maybe once or twice it locked up but I'm guessing on that because I don't remember it ever doing it (I've been ill for the past 3 years and sometimes don't remember small things). But I can definitely say I do not use docklets, and never crashed OD or the computer while doing something with OD (adding a shortcut, etc). I will say that I don't use it to it's full potential at all, but I love it the way it is and would go nuts if I didn't have the easy access to all the shortcuts I've put on it. And the thought of uninstalling and reinstalling it is just unacceptable, it's taken me years to get add all these shortcuts and make all my own icons for those shortscuts, I will suffer with the crash message forever if I have to rather than do that. But I just thought that since y'all are the experts, I might as well throw it out there and see if anyone has this problem or has ever had it and knows what went wrong and if it could be fixed. Also, if it matters, I do have the whole suite of programs (WB, IP, DTX, etc) but I pretty much only use Window Blinds on a regular basis, the other progs I mess around with every now and then. I download WB stuff and wallpapers, and also some icons now and then but hardly use them. The icons I've created are totally personalized for the site that its' shortcut goes to (for example I have a UPS, FeDex, Wal-Mart and Stargate icon-png just to name a few).
I'm sorry to rattle on, but I know it's important that y'all have as much information as possible to be able to help. I can't think of anything else to add, so I'll be hoping there's an easy fix to this mild annoyance, if not, no problem. I'm going to try to attach the screen capture I took of the crash msg, not sure how to do it, but I saw a link that said insert an image, so here goes....well that didn't work, it wanted a URL and I don't think I can put one from my computer (I'm not computer illiterate-just forum illiterate). Well, tried copying and pasting and that didn't work either, so I'm either an idiot or I can't get a picture from my computer on here! LOL So that's why I wrote exactly what the crash msg said above.
So thanks y'all for hearing me out and I'll give anything a shot (except uninstalling). Have a great day!
