I was curious to know what issues your are having with OD with your 64-Bit OS?  I am also running a 64-Bit system and mine is working well.  I was curious not because I thought you were wrong but really because I hope I am not just getting lucky.  This is the version that is working well for me below.

The solution to this has been posted now over and over and over again in these forums.  So you can search there,

OR you could have just Google'd your question, which would have brought you to any one of the threads which answer the question

You could also just have pinged Stardock support as I assume they have read these forums again for this answer as well.

But I will post the solution again for ya!

Okay, I was able to get it to work thanks to a combination of what people have said above.

1) Uninstall OD+ 190.033 from within Impulse

2) Reboot

3a) You'll need to download and install SDC, Stardock Central from here http://sd.stardock.com/sdcentral_setup.exe

3b) Using SDC, install 190i[b].020 of ObjectDock Plus

4) Run OD+ from the Start menu etc (wouldn't run from SDC directly for me).

5) Be happy. 

I manually made sure "Enable MCP notification area support" and "Enable MCP SmartStartup" are CHECKED in the SDC/Tools/Settings/General tab, but I don't know if that is required.  I did this in SDC before rebooting above, just fyi.

I now have Start Button and System Tray on Zooming docks support under Vista 64 Ultimate.

I hope this helps and again, thank you to Wally3k, et al, for their helpful comments.

BTW for anyone else that has this issue all I had to do what download SDC and install over the installed version of OD.  After a reboot its working fine. It updates it to build 537 the download from impulse is 535. Thanks again for the info.. glad to see SDC is still around.  I hate impulse.

Caveat noted.  But since no features have been added to OD since April of 2007, we won't be holding our breath. 

If being human can be considered a joke, you're absolutely right.

They're not trying to explain every tiny little thing that goes wrong like most other companies. They tend to not say anything at all though, which is kind of bad, but I don't hold that against them because I do that too sometimes. Which in a way proves my point...

I LOVE stardock, they do business the HUMAN way, flawed as it may be. I don't know any other company (online) that gives me the feel of actually interacting with real people, as if I would be in a local store. I really don't care if the way they do business suck or not. I support Stardock all the way for that single reason, unless they suddenly turn into stupid asshats, which I feel is VERY unlikely.

*Hats off to every single Stardock employee*

Drooling over here...

The date stamp in Impulse does not accurately reflect upon the version that is available. That date is simply when that particular version was made available on Impulse because there were troubles with the systray support on 64bit machines with the version that was previously available.

Except that it's already been TWO YEARS since this flagship product has had ANY feature additions.  

Everything since April 2007 has been bug fixes, with MANY major bugs still outstanding.  So, don't get your hopes up.    

You can no longer use Stardock Central to install OBjectDock
