Object Dock and hibernate

Published on October 6, 2003 By j dott In Stardock Software

I've had issues in the past with Object Dock on my laptop (XP pro, P4 1500, 512mb). When I resume from hibernate, all of the dynamic objects (clock, weather, calendar) fail to refresh. When I try to exit OD I get an error message. When I get it closed and reopen it, it works again -- until I go into hibernate (or even suspend). Is this a known issue? Any work arounds?

I'd also like to know how much memory OD is taking up on people's systems.

Sorry, but I don't have a solution for your problem, but being that you asked about memory. OD takes up a little under 10mb on my system. I have about 27 icons showing if that makes a difference...

AMD2000+
512mb RAM

I don't know about OD, but (and this may be a stupid question) when was the last time you updated you video driver?

DesktopX has problems with hiberate too, but I just reboot laptop once a while.

It's not the video driver, that would be easy to fix. I don't have problems with DesktopX and hibernate -- at least not very frequently. I like object dock -- I absolutely need desktopx, so that would really be a problem.
