Medal of Honor shortcut error

October 29, 2010 7:28:43 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi folks, i have ObjectDock Plus for some time now. It was working perfectly, I had some problems with windows integrated software but that's not important. I instaled the latest Medal of Honor so I decided to put the executable on my tabed dock but when I try to run the exe with that shortcut I get these weird messages:

- The program ca't statr because physxcudart_20.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstaling the program to fix this problem.

- The program ca't statr becausecudart32_30_9.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstaling the program to fix this problem.

The game runs perfectly if I run it from the exe directly so there is no point in reinstaling.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 btw

HELP!

did you add the shortcut to the dock manually or did you drag the shortcut off the desktop into the dock? i ask because sometimes i have noticed that shortcuts that have been dragged off the desktop encounter problems when used on the dock itself (no idea why and it's not all shortcuts). Silly question time, have you made sure the correct exe is being pointed to?. it might be worth checking . good luck mate

it's not from the desktop. i dragged the exe file from the instal directory of the game and I know it's the right one because I can start the game if I activate the exe by doubleclicking it but not if I put that same exe in my tabed dock and try to activate it from there. This is very confusing because this is the first game that is giving me this kind of trouble and I've put shortcuts in ObjectDock from over 30 games and never had any problems.

try this, right click on your dock, then from the drop down menu choose add----blank shortcut. when the window opens click the browse button and navigate to the exe you want and click on it, then click ok. see if the game loads then. It may be a bug in objectdock causing your problem or it may be a bug in the game. I am not sure which. I have never just dragged .exe files onto my docks from the install location as i just add them manually with the add blank shortcut option. good luck

Nope, no luck I'm still geting the same messages. Thx aniways. It appeares that when I try to run the game from the shortcut on the dock ObjectDock acts like it's pointing to the .exe but not that's in the that same folder. I'll try to explain better. If I try to simply copy the games .exe (not make a shortcut) itself on, let's say, desktop and run it I get the exact same messages that I get when I run the shortcut on the dock. So I guess when i run the shortcut on the dock, ObjectDock acts as that .exe is all alone in that folder. I'll say again if i try to run it directly from the .exe, the game runs perfectly and all of the games I had instaled before (more than 30 of them) ran perfectly from the dock....

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ???

Open OD config and go to Settings. Click on Advanced Tweaks and make sure the box marked "When a shortcut is added to a dock, point to the target not the shortcut" has a checkmark in it.
