If it worked before uninstall then reinstall would be the easiest method of choice.

Control panel - uninstall litestep

Did you try any Stardock applications recently? This is a well known problem - things like object bar (and others, I'm not sure which ones) run their own tray server application that grabs all the icons before LS can get them. You'll see a tray-something-or-other.exe running if you look in the task manager. Get rid of that (edit registry startup items, or uninstall it) and the tray icons will reappear.

Maybe - I don't remember exactly what it takes to get rid of their tray server app. If it's no longer running, then you've done the right thing. =)

GODDAMN that Reset button...

Hi! Im having the same probs as Sean. I uninstalled my OB, then the Systray finally came out.. BUT,,, Its only showing ONE icon, instead of all, like 20 apps I have running. Anyone know any solutions?

yup...go into your registry and get rid of the rest of the stupid OD crap. When you uninstall it, it does not remove everything.

And you are right! Everything is running perfect now. Thanks a lot ^_^
