StrokeIt
Systray icon on startupPosted by skip
<HTML>Hi! I noticed one strange behaviour, I am ready to admit that this is not StrokeIt bug if it is so :) When I try to execute a command-line program cdspeed (not the Asus one) at startup along with StrokeIt, StrokeIt starts sucessfully and gestures are working, but icon in systray don't appear. Deselecting and selecting again the option to show it don't do anything. I tried to start that cdspeed program form HCU run in registry and from startup directory, that makes no difference. I can provide a link to that prog, but you gotta believe me that this is not virus, because its homepage is very brief and in Russian. This happens on WinXP Pro.
I thought may be that's the problem with any command-line tool, not with cdspeed only?</HTML>
<HTML>Hello?
Thank you for noticing and reacting. However, if somebody has problems with simultanious starting of StrokeIt with something, I found the workaround - starting cdspeed from local machine / run in registry instead of user / run, i.e. a little sooner than StrokeIt, worked.</HTML>
<HTML>Sorry from my side for sounding unsatisfied, your piece of software is exellent and far superior to any analogues (well, to one analogue that I am aware of) and your support is great.
If you'll want to recreate the problem, you can download that tool, which is only 37kb in size - http://vdruzhin.chat.ru/yasniy/cdspd11w.zip. What it does, it's change the speed of CD drive and exits, not sitting in memory like the other similar tools, very handy. But it's completely unnecessary, since I was the only one with that strange trouble, just if you'll want to try it for pure interest. Besides, I suspect that maybe for recreating that one should have non-standart non-microsoft visual style for XP and modified uxtheme.dll from SP1 on non-SP1 Windows XP :)</HTML>
<HTML>Jeff,
I really don't want to bother you since that's not a common problem. In most cases when some problem with software is unique to one person, that is not that software's fault :) Maybe that's cdspeed, which was made in 99, without any respect to Win XP of course. When I start cdspeed manually nothing bad happens, StrokeIt icon stays in its place. Btw, the StrokeIt is the only one loading to systray, and there is three things total loading at startup, those two and MS thing for changing keyboard layout, ctfmon. I think I'll keep downloading new versions, sometimes the problems go away that way by themselves. Sorry for my long answers, maybe all this was just an excuse to say how I am fond of StrokeIt, literally the smallest process in my task manager, but one of the most useful apps :)</HTML> |
