SOB tray icons not appearing

So I have a service install on a dual core. Now normally when I'm in windows, and I start/restart the SOB service, the 2 instances flash up and settle down nicely into the tray.. where I can click on them and maximise them at my pleasure.

This has stopped today. And i don't know why. When the service is started, now there is no clients in the tray. However the 2 instances of SOB are working. I need to have access to the client. Now this may have come about from a previous unstable overclock, but SHOULD be something I can fix without a complete reinstall. Right?

One other thing, I can start an instance normally (shortcut to SOB)... just seems that the service start is the problem. Interact with desktop is selected too.

Specs.. Intel Pentium D 945 3.4Ghz @ 4.3Ghz
Windows XP SP2.
Thanks guys.

:: (installs the service handler)
sobsvc -i

:: (agressive: 4 clients)
sobsvc -p:4:0

:: (agressive: 2 clients)
sobsvc -p:2:0

:: (TOGGLE - monitors for the client being closed and restarts it)
sobsvc -m

:: (TOGGLE - keeps the icons in the tray, so that you can check them)
sobsvc -k

:: (TOGGLE - monitors for a stuck client and restarts it if necessary)
sobsvc -s

:: (Displays the current parameters, use the TOGGLEs above to set them the way you want.)
sobsvc -d

:: starts the Service
net start "Seventeen or Bust Service"

:: stops the Service
net stop "Seventeen or Bust Service"

Not sure -k switch is working for me.

This is the output of the log file when I use -d

[2007/03/14 18:58:27.078]: Parms retrieved: NumClients = 2, AffType = 1, WUQueue = 0, PeriodicRestart = 0, AutodialType = 0
[2007/03/14 18:58:27.078]: TrueIdle = FALSE, MonitorRestart = TRUE, StuckRestart = FALSE, KeepVisible = TRUE
[2007/03/14 18:58:27.078]: NormalizeXP = FALSE
[2007/03/14 18:58:27.078]: AutoRestart OFF
[2007/03/14 18:58:27.078]: ** SB Client version 1.10+ **

Still no joy on restarting service. Still hidden. :(

You might check the 'service' config box...
I think there is an option to "allow user interaction" thingie...
It is found in 'manage', 'services', Seventeen of Bust...

Hope this fixes it...
Good Luck.

Nah! I looked at that already! All the straight forward things are covered. This one might take a bit more diggin' :swear: If all else fails I'll just clone HD from another BOX I'm running. Similar Hardware, so its no problem
