Runs at startup but ...

from Stardock Forums
it no longer displays my systray items and it prompts me to load a theme instead of loading the one I use all the time.

At one point in the not so distant past, Desktop X would load before anything else, would load my default theme and would show everything in my sys tray but it doesn't do that any longer, which makes it unusable for me.

I have to say, DesktopX is the only reason I renewed my subscription and if it doesn't work like it used to I won't be coming back for more.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

haven't run DTX in a while.... but I'll load a theme and restart later, then post back.

Do you have SDC? is enable MCP notification area support checked in the settings?
Is SDMCP.exe running?

I have SDC and I had both MCP notifications checked but it still isn't working.

Right now I have it uninstalled because it was bogging down my 'puter which takes a lot with a 3.4 Ghz chip and 4 Gigs of Ram and a 256 Mb Video card.

gef's Darkzone2 ... it worked fine for over a year but my subscription ran out and I couldn't get DesktopX to run after that. I renewed my subscription, reinstalled SDC and DesktopX after I had my motherboard and processor replaced and it wouldn't work right after that. I also noticed some quirky behavior with SDC installed, it wouldn't let me change my user pic and it took forever to pull up anything on any of my hard drives (I have 6 - 2 IDE internal, 2 STAT internal and 2 IDE external).

Once I uninstalled SDC everything started working fine again. I am running WinXP Pro w/SP2 embedded if that's any help.
