Corrupted ZIP file in OD+ properties

??????

Published on June 8, 2005 By 47songs In Docks

Every time I open my OD+ properties box and click change image I get the error message, "The compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted." After I click OK I am able to enter my library, but this error message is getting annoying.

Is it the entire library that is corrupted or just a one particular file? If it's just one file is there a way to isolate this file so that I can delete it? I've run a registry scan with Norton Win Doctor. I've run a virus, adaware, and spybot scans also. Nothing is picked up in any of the programs.

I've got too many icons downloaded from Wincustomize that I don't want to have to lose if I have to delete my OD+.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to deal with this error message would be greatly appreciated.

You could move them all out to another folder first.

Curious, I looked in my OD folder (I don't have plus) but I don't have any zipped files in it.

Did you maybe move a zip in there somewhere and it's corrupt? I'm thinking maybe you have one in there somewhere. I'd look in there first.

Donna,

I would recommend saving your theme, then deleting the cache, which is the "ObjectDockPlus" folder found in "C:\Documents and Settings\"user account"\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock" folder (where "C" is the letter drive, and "user account" is the name on account when logged in).

Note - use "Tools > Folder Options > View tab" to select "Show hidden files and folders" if you cannot see "Local Settings" folder in the address above.

If that does not work, then move all your downloaded images, backgrounds, etc. to a temporary folder as Bichur suggested. Then do a "Uninstall > reboot > delete ObjectDock sub-directory in "C:\Program Files\Stardock" folder, and any cache mentioned above > reinstall ObjectDock Plus and test using the default theme.

If all goes well, move or copy your saved files back to the sub-directory and test your theme. If the problem appears again, try deleting the theme and the cache, then load ObjectDock Plus again (the default theme will appear) and try rebuilding your theme from scratch.

If the problem appears this time, and the default theme works correctly, you can be fairly certain that one of the components in your theme is at fault.

Process of elimination must commence.

Much thanks to both Bichur and Corky O for their responses! I'll check them out tomorrow... in the morning, but it's sleep time and my head is about to hit the pillow! I appreciate your input and will let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
Donna
