Step 2. Create association of ObjectDock with DOCKTHEME files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DOCKTHEME file still does not use the ObjectDock program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCKTHEME file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DOCKTHEME file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DOCKTHEME files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DOCKTHEME or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DOCKTHEME files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DOCKTHEME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DOCKTHEME file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCKTHEME files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DOCKTHEME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DOCKTHEME file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
