I am having the same problem. Upgraded to ObjectBar v2.1 and the SysTray is now gone. Tried everything that was posted here including removing the Program Files\Stardock\Desktop\ObjectDock and re-installed. Still no Sysbar. Any other ideas?

I have local computer admin rights. I also have full admin rights to my computer logging onto the corporate domain and no there are no restrictions from skinning your logon. Skinning the logon simply does not work unless you delete the domain logon account.
There all free and all have the same problem. This is a problem in OD. If the Docklet (OD) cannot reach the internet when it launches it goes to sleep for 10-20 mins before it retries. Comprende?
I'll be sure the convey your sympathy on the Apple.com forums.
Remind your self’s of that the next time a Windows service pak disables more than fixes the feature set. Microsoft usually explains it as an "anomaly" that impacts a minority of users that use that feature set. Let me make it clear if you did not understand the first time. EVERY Apple MacMini owner that uses SD under bootcamp XP suffers with this SD weather docklet problem. I guess that DOES put every Mini user into a minority, so why bother. While where at it lets tell every SD develop
The purpose of this forum is to bring issues to the forefront to be reviewed and addressed. "It doesn't happen to me" does not address an issue nor should it be an excuse to justify poor product quality nor should this forum be used to belittle and demean others that "are" experiencing this problem.
Why no SD BootSkin sub forum?
It is, but again this is a fight between hide win task bar in OB versus OD+. A couple of screwy combination settings between these two got OB+ reset back to proper behavior but then the war to get OD+ to not hide displaying only tabs but when finally locked on the desktop to allow apps to overlay on top of it instead of forcing itself on top. Combination config problems folks. Common guys, common registry entries between OD, OD+ and OB here.
Disabling firewalls which some how enables weather? Not the issue when in displays after 20 mins on it's own. This "is" a bug in the docklet (provided by SD), but gee how do you contact the author to say why is this so? How about a delay of 2 mins after OB+ launch and then have this docklet go and get weather? Let's just ignore the manual process procedure when again, it is a bug in OB+. In a perfect world every one is perfect. Gee, time for a dose of reality. These is
Regardless of dragging it to the bottom of the screen. Reboot displaces it again.
While that's all lovely, it updates after 20 mins. So what am I disabling that automatically disables itself after 20 mins? I think not the issue here.
Ok, is a fix coming for this little glitch? I am admin local computer and on the domain.
I already have one of those, but thanks for the thought.... I am not going to pay another $300 for Mac Office & $700 for Photoshop CS2 to migrate from OS9 to OSX Tiger. Apple can kiss my a* goodbye from here on out. MS should run an anti Mac add saying, oh gee, "Mac users have received an OS upgrade every year and every 2 versions you have two buy all new Office and Adobe software." That does not mean I can't install a Mac theme over XP on a MacMini (can't put lipstick on a pig).
Just like the title, Stardock needs a cleanup / repair utility that will fix wierdness in the freeware / trialware products after purchase and then downloaded via Stardock to make it BEHAVE. The endless uninstall trialware / freeware crap needs to end. * Removes invalid installers * Removes invalid registry entries * Removes non-applicable download files unique to freeware / trialware * Updates and installs the latest HAP to fix screwyness in the OB systray * Properly re
Most boot skins out there are pretty lame. Where can I find a "true" MacMini boot skin that shows the Mac boot up screen with the circle thing going on until boot is completed?
Thoughts?
So far I have installed most everything in ObjDesktop and then removed them all except WB, OD, & OB. So which beauty in the ObjDesktop suite left this gift behind in the registy? It does seem to effect OB's behavior when displaying the systray and leaving behind a default of 0 seems to be a bad thing.

So what freaked out here. This is very annoying.
It does the same thing on my desktop if I unplug the ethernet cable, boot the computer, wait for everything to come up and then plug in ther ethernet cable, the weather docklet does not update the weather info unless I click on it and select update. Two computers same behavior?
Why is Theme editor poping up at all upon boot? I have tried turning off auto startup and then turning it back on to see if it would fix the startup problem to no avail. As long as OB is in the startup menu, Theme editor seems to come back and haunt for several secs.
Since this one comes with ObjDock I am assuming it's a bug?
Because my wireless network connects after ObjDock launches, the weather docklet fails to update weather information. Requires manual update. Is this a bug? I see no option to change the update frequency or select an option to wait for network availability.
Weather docklet shows N/A because MacMini establishes net after launch of OD. SD dummies. So at what interval does the refresh Weather docklet update occur again?
You go with what works, not days and weeks hoping this forum will get around to answering the question. I have also mentioned numerous times that software today should be smart enough to figure out that the trialware needs be un-installed or converted to subscribed during the update process.
