Hi, I've also posted this in paralell on the main Free-DC forum and thought I'd repost here for more attention...

"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."

Also...
"Not sure -k switch is working for me.

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

Still no joy on restarting service. Still hidden [tray icons]."

I really need to get this fixed, up. I reinstalled the client as a long shot, and updated the registry for the 2 tests I had crunching etc. Still no joy. Starting to think this is a WinXp flaw!?!?
