Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Smart taskbar never initializes
Richard Berg   2003-01-26 19:16
I have yet to get the smart taskbar to appear in any form -- there's only one taskbar (on the primary monitor) and it has the same context menu as a default Win2k install.

Win2k SP3
Matrox G450
2x Samsung 955DF @ 1280x960 @ 85Hz

Forgot to mention -- I tried deleting the registry key, to no effect.

Please run a debug monitor like DBWIN32, then restart UltraMon.

The Smart Taskbar will print debug messages if an error occurs during startup. Please copy the messages and post them here.

No idea what would cause this. If you are interested, we could do a remote debug (test) session after 2.2 Beta 1 has been released.

If you would like to do this, please send me a mail to support@realtimesoft.com.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Here's the debug output when I restart the program:

6968: TaskbarManager::CreateTaskbars: WinTaskbar::Create failed

Hi Richard, thanks for the information. I have uploaded a little test program: EnumShell.exe. Please run it on your system and send me the log file it creates to support@realtimesoft.com. The log is created in the application's directory.

(my email is down right now, hope this helps)

Thanks for the log. Disabling TraySaver should fix the problem.

I'll fix this compatibility issue in the next release, you will then be able to run both the Smart Taskbar and TraySaver.
