I get no dock labels and no magnification on Vista 32bit I originally copied over the dockitems.xml when updating to 5.6, but I've since reinstalled and it's now a default installation. Labels and magnification are on;

It's impossible, because:

1. I installed global hook, using .dll, so if it doesn't work then your windows doesn't give the dock to use global hooks

Also magnification and labels depend on this mouse event (I mean global hook from dll). So if windows doesn't want to make it possible, sorry I can't do anything about it. May be you have got some programs, like spyware which close software like my dock using global hooks.

Bobah, are you using anything that could prevent a user without administrative rights from running XWD? Global hooks seems a good candidate for that...

So this means it won't work on Vista? The labels and magnification worked on previous versions...

Hold your horses, buddy! Nobody said that; besides, I'm on Vista 32bit and everything's just fine.

Let's just wait bobah reply to my question...

lol, he did say it was impossible

[Panta]

No need for making fun of it...

Unlike you, he hasn't English as his native language but, in spite of that, he's trying to communicate with you in English; perhaps you could get better results if you try communicating with him in Russian. Why don't you try doing so?

[randomus r]

Ah. I wasn't aware he wasn't English. My apologies

Why would Windows not allow the use of global hooks if the magnification worked in the last versions that I've used? It worked perfectly with 5.4 but I had to update after the dock started to malfunction. Now things don't work. I have Vista 64-bit installed.

I've got a problem...

Since yesterday, I keep on getting the error:


I haven't done anything to the program (like installing new desklets, etc.).

So today I installed v5.6, no problem; then installed just two desklets, still no problem. After a while, I get the same error...

Does anyone know what's causing this?


edit: anyways, I just reinstalled it, and everything's running ok, I'll see what happens later.

Which Docklets do you use, please? Can you try with a fresh install but without any Docklet for a week or so, to see if an Docklet or the Dock is causing it?
But it's a very stranger Error... any Idea what this "boost"-thing is?

[xfifteen]

Yes it's a really weird problem idd... I didn't do anything and the dock just crashed yesterday and since then I couldn't get it fixed.

A few hours ago, the dock worked perfectly again, but now, since my restart, the dock doesn't work again.

With all respect to the maker, the docklets I added were XMail and XCal.

I will reinstall it, but without the docklets like you suggested. If I don't get any new errors, I'll know where the problem is.

Thanks for your reply!

No, I've got no idea what that is. My e:-part is the SD-card reader, but I've got no SD-card with "tools" in it, or 'boost'. Maybe it could be Vista Boost? But I haven't enabled that either..

[Panta]

Well, this is what Boost is: http://www.boost.org/

Since no one has a clue what is up with the lack of magnification in 5.6 then could someone please send me a link to download 5.4 again. It's the only version that worked on my computer.

[xfifteen]

And now (after fresh install) I get the access violation error..
("at address 004D9B18 in module 'XWindowsDock.exe - read of address 00000010")

Like estrahon, is there a place where we can find previous versions of XWindows Dock? Maybe that would help somehow...

Sorry randomus r but the link in that page goes to the 5.6 install.
