Published on November 4, 2006 By Beesley In RightClick
I've never had this happen before but Rightclick crashed. Then when I re-loaded it, it came up empty. When I tried to add new items to make it like it was before, it loaded everything in horizontally instead of vertically, giving me this big long line across the screen from left to right instead of top to bottom. Any idea how that happened or how I could fix it?
Thanks.

RightClick seems to be closely associated with Objectbar, which has horizontal menus, if you do have OB installed you may want to uninstall that too.

I don't, but thanks for the suggestion buzzh58


i tried the odnt zapper prog again this morning, rebooted, deleted everything i could in my user/local settings/temp directory, re-installed rightclick and it looks like it's installed correctly this time

thanks for the all suggestions and help....much appreciated

Glad to hear your good to go again. Its very hard to maneuver about without RightClick program once you've been using it for awhile. I have used it since it came out and had it crash twice in the early stages. No problem in way over a year though..

Hopefully Stardock will still continue to develop this program.

turned on my laptop this morning, and the same problem...

tried everything to uninstall, but no luck so far, and quite frankly i'm now bored of rebooting my computer...will try later

@jellybean - where did you go, and any news...even that you've looked into and can't re-produce would be something..

does anyone have any idea on how to really un-install rightclick?

thanks

Hey guys one thing I do that has seemed to help is using a file registry maintenance tool after de-installing followed with rebooting. De-installing software can leave entries in the file registry that need to be cleaned out before re-installing will work. Don't know if this will help but, its the method I've used and my system stays fairly stable. One tool is Tuneup Utilities(I use this) and another one I've heard of is ccleaner. You might want to try this.

thanks BigDogBigFeet....i ran CCleaner, it found a couple of Rightclick entries, which it deleted and it seems to have got it un-installed, and when i re-installed was back to normal...

thanks very much for the suggestion

Point of clarification - I think you should uninstall the applications in the "normal" way first, then run the ODNT Zapper utility to clean up any remains, not the other way round. It's supposed to take care of those dangling reg entries, I believe, but running something like CCleaner is a good idea afterward, too, before doing a re-install.

the trouble is that if you un-install first, then rightclick does not show up with the odnt zapper...it only shows installed programs....

Can I assume that by the lack of activity on this thread that this is still unsolved? I've got this problem also.

Its not a ' usual ' problem..I've never actually had this happen but I think the only thing you can do is remove the RC program using the OD Zapper removal tool ..then reinstall the RC program..

Is this the first time you tried the RC program?
Did you install the beta version that just became available a few days ago?
There seems to be a few issues with that version and the new windowblind 6
Are you using Vista ?

If you installed the new beta - you might want to uncheck the beta option in stardock central and try the last final release.

There is a thread about the new RC update - you may want to post on that thread if you have no luck.

I tried un-installing and using the last final release but to no avail.
