Thanks Mark, on both counts. Both problems have solutions, so I'm OK with that.

Circle Dock / Re: Stack Folder problem

« on: March 09, 2010, 06:18 AM »

Running CircleDock as Administrator on Windows 7 64-bit and using an alternative Program Files folder for CD certainly solved some of my problems, and now the Circle Dock v1.55.16 (x64) makes CD very much more stable and usable. I use all Stack Folders to group applications.

However, my CD (x64) (now installed into C:\Program Files) still does not recognise 64-bit programs that also install by default into C:\Program Files (rather than C:\Program Files (x86)). My workaround is to install 64-bit programs into my C:\Program Files (alt) folder, but surely I shouldn't have to do that now?

Also, CD is still a bit hit and miss as to whether it picks up program icons, and for a couple it displays just a "blank" icon - but the programs launch so I can live with that.

Apart from these small gripes CD is an even better program and I love using it.

Circle Dock / Stack Folder problem

« on: February 22, 2010, 01:47 PM »

I have a problem with programs not launching from Stack Folders when the file in question installs itself in the C:\Program Files folder e.g. Paint.Net, SyncToy, as distinct from C:\Program Files (x86). The error message is "The specified path was not found." Also the Stack Folder does not display the program icon (just a generic Windows icon).
The same programs fire up OK when launched from Dock Folders. I am running Windows 7 64-bit and this has been a problem through all versions since I first installed CircleDock a month or so ago, up to and including the latest v1.5.4. Any ideas?

Thanks Mark. Actually I have cured the problem by running CD as Administrator. It does the trick for Dock Properties and CD generally seems more stable.

I have a similar but different crash to that decribed by joiwind with v1.523 and now v1.53. Version 1.0 did not have this problem. In my case with CD open every time I click on Dock Settings in the context menu and exit (not when it opens) CD crashes and I get a sequence of three error messages (which I too can't make head or tail of), one after the other on clicking Abort or Retry and I kill the process.

I am running CD on Windows 7 64-bit, am not getting any mis-behaviour on anything else, and otherwise CD works brilliantly (with just a couple of minor niggles that I will write about separately).

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
