restart the ocmputer, and make it run automaticlly. if the program starts before the other systemtry items are activated, it will be tracked and on the system tray.

i don't know how much you know or don't know, so i'll just try to run down things

1. do you have the container hidden? make sure the hidden option in the "general display options" is unchecked for the systray.

2. did you disable sdmcp.exe or trayserver.exe from starting up? this is what stardock uses to detect/display system tray icons. make sure its checked in you msconfig startup, or that it is running in taskmanager.

3. which object bar skin are you using? maybe try a different skin from a different author just for troubleshooting sake. some authors use different techniques for the systray, ie a drop down menu or resizable left and right scroller. i always had problems with the drop down one myself when i had a lot of items running in the background. maybe you could play with that setting and see what you get.
