Confused with SmartStartup

Published on January 18, 2004 By Hus In Stardock Software

I was wondering what causes the pink box and how do I make it go away? I reinstalled Stardock Central...but that didn't work. I'm not even sure what program that is, I don't have anything set to load at startup besides DX. So, now I'm confused...any ideas?

Should be the SDC icon....hmmmm...is your Stardock Central icon showing in the system tray?

..this is where the icon is ...C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\Component Tray

Nice arrow..

Do you have Object Bar or Wincustomize installed?

I kinda like that...looks like a wall or bootscreen to me.

No...but I did reinstall all my ODNT components about a month ago. And before I did this...SmartStarup wasn't working at all...even though I had DX to load at startup. This is what made me reinstall it...pink box been there ever since. I'm thinking something went screwy with the uninstall/reinstall...but atleast it's working now...

You never did answer...in SDC do you show Component Tray installed?

Hus

Oh...yes.

Hummm...and no Tray Icon!?

You need to get into the Tray settings and check 'Load Stardock Central Tray' on startup....

Now all we need to do is get the icon

...I think your CT install is wacked... try un-installing tray component and re-installing it

Um...gary...recheck the screenshot. There is an icon, it's right next to the DX icon.

No...I'm talking about the System Tray Icon by the clock...do you show one?

Ohhhh....yes.

Just to clarify...this would be the first time I've ever installed CT...since buying ODNT.
