2.5 years does seem like a long time to wait for Vista 64 systray support, does it not? Making the users jump through hoops to get a beta off SDC that actually does work is either an oversight that should be corrected or sadism that should be punished. I mean, it already works. It just isn't on Impulse and is hard to get. What's up with that?
You need the beta from Stardock Central (as opposed to Impulse). There is a whole process which is detailed in other posts, but essentially completely remove OD, install Stardock Central (SDC), and then install the OD beta version from there. I've no idea why SD makes us modern OS owners do everything just short of sacrificing small animals to make basic functionality work, but thems the breaks.
I think the last word we has was to expect a release four or five months ago, then nothing since. Is there even going to be a 2.0? Maybe Stardock can share a little more about what the plans are at this point?
[quote]Ok. Sorry you have such problems with, imo, a great product. Yes, there are a few bugs that they know about, and they have said they've been trying to fix them. What more do you want. At least they are trying. I don't know of a magic software creation tool that all you have to do is think of it and bickety boppity boom it works perfectly. I mean, you are using windows. Are you all over Microsoft because it doesn't work perfectly?[/quote] Slight correction. OD+ was
Every day I check for the update we were promised was coming in November, and every day I'm disappointed that it still hasn't shown up. OD+ system tray and start menu functionality for 64-bit has now been broken for months. The length of time to resolve this issue has been very poor, and communication about the status has been worse. I would appreciate a realistic update of when we can expect this to be fixed.
OD+ does not work flawlessly on Vista 64. Specifically, two things that used to work now don't: the start menu and the system tray. In theory there will be an update at some point that adds these features again.
Yes, please give us some kind of update other than that you know there is an issue and it will be fixed... eventually. Days? Weeks? Months? Next year? Just ballpark it for us, please. This is important functionality and is the only reason I paid for Pro.

Same for me. I didn't update or modify OD in any way. The system tray simply stopped working overnight. The uninstall/reinstall method posted here did not work for me. I simply get a message that system tray and start menu functionality is not supported in 64-bit OS' now.
I'm trying to get my purchased copy of OD+ running on my new Vista Ultimate x64 system and cannot activate. I'm getting an app crash message "Activate.exe has stopped working" Anyone else experiencing this?
