I have the same problem. My system tray icons will not show up. Doesn't matter what I try and it happens with all my skins. It isn't the actual ObjectBar program that is causing the problem, because it was fine before I had to reinstall WindowsBlinds because of the expiration of that program. So I suspect it has something to do with WB.

Steelers Rule, look in:
c:\program files\common files\stardock

and see if you have "TrayServer.exe". if you dont, then you arent going to get any system tray icons, since this is the program that OB and DX require to get system tray icons to work.

jebland, i agree totally. i was trying to put it politely in public

my email to stardock support the day i realised OB didnt come with trayserver, so wasnt working on my home machine was a bit more blunt

I am having the same problem with my task-bar today after installing WindowBlinds. I had to reinstall because of the expiration of that program. You see the icons on Windows task-bar. What are you supposed to do to correct this problem?

Ok..now I have uninstalled OB and done a clean install of same and it seems to be working for now.

feline- Everything is working fine this morning. When I re-installed WindowBlinds 3.51, there were a few things that were not checked in settings. I rechecked some options and presto everything is working fine now!!! Thanks for helping!!

Lastshot, i only ways i know of are:

a) use the old component manager to download and install OB. this normally includes trayserver.exe

find someone else with a copy on their machine, and get them to email you a copy + the regkey required to make it work

c) try the standalone exe install of OB beta, and hope that installs trayserver.exe

i dont know of any way to get trayserver via Stardock Central.

if need be i can email you trayserver.exe, and i can also tell you the reg key to make. however, the reg key bit requires you are ok to run regedit. DONT do that if you dont know what you are doing with it.

there is no email in your profile though.

you might want to email support@stardock.com and point out that you are having this problem. maybe they can offer a better solution. if they can, i would also like to know what it is.

jebland, i have already emailed them on at least 2 occasions about this, complete with references to install log files showing it isnt being installed, and links to other threads here about the problem.

my last email on the subject was a bit "blunt", since i have only just had this problem myself on my home machine *sigh*
