"Dell Dock has stopped working" - Very annoying!
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Hi,
I cannot tell you how much time and effort I put into trying to solve this but it seems impossible.
I bought an Inspiron 1525 laptop just 4 months ago and was quite happy with the Dell Dock feature as it made life easier when working with Office. That was until the bleeding Dell Dock went bananas and doesn't run anymore. It's quite annoying because every time I turn on the computer I get the error message about 5 times in a row! And when I try sending the error report I get another error!!!! How frustrating...:emotion-12:
I tried getting rid of it and reinstalling but it won't work neither.
Called Dell and they told me they do not offer support for this and I'd need to pay ££ to get help.
Now....this is ridiculous! I did not ask for the software, "Dell geniuses" decided to install this piece of faulty software in my machine and now refuses to offer help!!! Shame on you Dell!!
Well, if you are a user and is having the same nightmare, please let me know if you found a solution, I'll be very grateful and might light you a candle.:emotion-5:

specifically locating and deleting the folder in c:\users\~yourname~\AppData\Local\Stardock_Corporation\
(the file will be named something like...DellDock.exe_URL_~randomcharacters~)
Deleting this folder and restarting Dell Dock worked for me as well.

luke11122 - You rock. This worked perfectly for me. I had some trouble deleting the application file, but got through it. Once deleted, I followed your link and everything works again. Thanks for the tip

WOW - I have been totally addicted to Dell Dock until two days ago when I could not get it to run. Deleted - Installed - Error Msg - could not send. I all but gave up on this BS, when I came across this website http://download.cnet.com/Dell-Dock/3000-2072_4-10966816.html Delete your computer version, reboot and load this one. IT WORKS!!!! Wanted to share will all.

I have encountered problems with this kind of janky software before. I agree with your post. Thought the best bet is to uninstall the dell dock and just create shortcuts for the programs you need on your desk top. This way you will kill two birds with one stone, no more error messages and no more trying to fix the infamous Dell Dock.:emotion-11:

$500? I'd buy a new NON DELL computer for that price! I'm having the same Dell Dock problem and so far...NO FIX. I tried system restore...didn't work. Tells me I'm missing delldock.msi and nowhere can I find or download that file.
