Object Dock Search Docklet Error

By Posted April 23, 2009 05:56:21

When I mouseover the Search Docklet in the default Zoomer in Object Dock, I get an error warning saying "Search Docklet Load failed. Please check your installation."  I'm not sure if that means to check my installation of Windows XP, Object Dock, the docklet installation, Windows Desktop Search, or the indexing service that comes with windows itself.  Anyway, I checked to make sure that the indexing service was running, (it was), so I assumed maybe it meant Windows Desktop Search, so I downloaded and installed the latest version of that from MS's download site.  Still no improvement.  Does anyone have any ideas what this error message means and how to cure the malfunction?  Thanks!

Open Impulse and go to the Desktop tab. Right click on Objectdock and select "Verify Installation" If it says it is installed incorrectly,it will say an update is available.

To update:First select another app (Impulse bug) then return to the ObjectDock update and install it. Reboot, then try it out to see if that fixes it.
