IM a addmitably noob so im going to apologize in advance for the this question...what your saying is that even if i uninstall and dload from impulse still can't get start menue or system tray on vista 64?
Yes that is correct. The update is due out this month to not only handle that but a few extra bugs as well.
Impulse is still the best way to go for any an all updates for our programs and it will be the only location to get the next update.
