How do you use the System Tray?

from Stardock Forums

Yes, I did look at some tutorials, but I don't have the sdmcp.exe, or the dll. In the common files folder, all I have is ODimg.dll. I do have ObjectDock Plus. Did I do something wrong?

I have Object Dock Plus and use a zoomer and a tabbed dock.  In the tabbed dock there is a tab for System Tray.  I think plus came packaged that way if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it did. I have the Tabbed dock too, and there IS a tab for System Tray. But nothing shows up. Its there, but its blank.

What version of ObjectDock Plus are you running?

What OS?

I'm running 1.90 Plus, Build 535u. I'm on Windows XP Home SP3. And I found the sdmcp.exe file online, and I have it running at startup, and it still doesn't work. The system tray thing stays empty.

Do you have Impulse?  if you do uninstall Object Dock Plus with Impulse, run a clean up program, reboot and reinstall with Impulse and see if that fixes it.  We are both using the same OS and Object Dock Plus so it should work.

I have used Objectdock Plus a few months ago, but without the System Tray it wasn't much good to me, so I uninstalled.

I have just installed Objeckdock Plus again on Vista 32-bit ultimate using Impulse (which did an auto update first).

When I went to install it downloaded it again, so I have the very latest version.

I created a new tabbed dock, adding System Tray, then removed the 5 auto-generated tabs.

System Tray is still blank, so I'll uninstall again.
