Flyout Icon Images are blank, don't know how to get them back?

from Stardock Forums

all was well, until object dock crashed on me one day.  now the icon images for most, not all, flyout items are a blank generic icon.  if i browse to the folder where the icons are, it works fine.  if i drag the same shortcut directly to objectdock, it also looks fine.  if i go in and manually change the icon, this also works fine.

 

i did uninstall object dock and do a clean install of it, and then restored a theme that worked previously, and same issue.  i tried to install it on another machine, restore the same theme, and it works there.

 

any ideas?

on a side not, i installed rocketdock with stack docklet, which i use with objectdock plus where i first noticed, and then tried flyouts with same problem.  rocketdock is also not showing the icons, so i don't think it is something with objectdock, but maybe iconpacker/icon studio?

hmmm, tried xdock, same thing.  so now i'm at a total loss, is it possible it's maybe video driver related?

so could this be a rendering problem?  maybe direct X?  do these docks use directX for flyouts?  is this thing on?

It's an odd one.  You could try the generic fix of clearing the OD cache, reply #2 here:

You could start up a ticket with Stardock Support here:

You also might have better luck here if you say which version of windows and which version of ObjectDock you're using.  Won't do me any good but maybe somebody else...

well, i was tempting a reformat and thats what i did, i did flush the cache though.  i always forget to mention what version and whatnot, i guess i'll follow up next time it happens lol, but thanks for the help

Glad you got it resolved, I passed this thread on to the developer.

i find it odd though, that this fix still hasn't been implemented, i mean, all you are doing is removing IP from adding a specific reg entry.  anyways at least i can use this stuff and make it pretty again LOL
