Hey, I've used litestep before on another computer, but i just put it on my laptop and i'm having one problem: The Sys Tray Icon for STEAM(the half life service) wont show up when it's running and it's suposed to. Without th icon i can't exit it without bringing up the taks manager and doing an end process thing. I'm using WINXP and it's the same on every theme i load. Help please. Is this a problem with STEAM or litstep?

look in your processes, do you have a process called trayserver.exe running in the background?

Try stopping WBlinds from running when you boot, and then reboot. The standard issue with the systray is trayserver.exe, which is part of WBlinds (no?).

wow i didn't even have to restart, i just set windowblinds to not show up in the tray and then unloaded it and started steam and the tray icon showed up for it. i reloaded windowblinds and it still is there. Thanks for the help
Peace
