Had the problem when I turned on the computer this morning.  Worked fine last night.  Since it appears to be a problem for everyone using Object Dock Plus who are showing System Tray Icons must have been an update to something.

OS XP Home SP3 32 bit 

OD Version 1.90a ( 538u ), 191k(a) 025 via Impulse

Issue Blank System Tray in Tabbed Dock

I installed OD+ version available in SDC -v1.90 build 537 and the Systray icons are now showing. Seems there may be an issue with the latest beta of OD+ in Impulse.

Everytime I've seen this problem posted within the last 6 weeks it has been regarding the 538 build installed with Impulse.  If you want, you could try de-installing the 538 build, rebooting and re-installing the 537 build with SDC.  It might just solve the problem.

I'm only saying that 'there may be an issue with the latest update' and what I did to try and get the Systray icons showing again. Tech support and/or the developer will be able to determine what is causing this issue with the latest beta version on Impulse.

MaxMiller1, please try the following:

1) De-install Version 1.91k[a].025(Build 538).

2) re-boot

3) Re-install Version 1.90 (Build 537) with Stardock Central

Post here if this works.

Try reply #9.  As I've indicated it seems to be a problem with build 538 installed through Impulse.  The problem doesn't appear with Build 537 installed with Stardock Central as indicated by me, Hankers and now TheD2JBug.

Okay, did what was mentioned in reply #9 and it fixed the problem.

One further heads up.  When you do this Impulse will show you that an update is available.  I downloaded and it broke OD+ again, so as mentioned by several folks there is a problem with that update.

It is rather strange though because before this morning I had that update loaded and it work fine on my XP system.  Could it be that something else changed like maybe an MS autoupdate that is causing the problem?  Just a thought.

SDC loader will not start SDC and I see no place at Stardock to get SDC.  Links all go to Impulse.

where are you guys getting 537 and 538 from?  I just had to reinstall OD+ and got 535u according to the About window and on Impulse it says v1.90.033 (8/5/2008).

1) De-install Version 1.91k[a].025(Build 538).

2) re-boot

3) Re-install Version 1.90 (Build 537) with Stardock Central

Use Stardock Central if you have it installed.

I got rid of SDC when Impulse came out.  I'll use the link above to get it.

Why doesn't Impulse have these updates if it is the replacement for SDC?

This is not an update. It is a previous version.

This is not an update. It is a previous version.

Hankers could you please pass on to SD how useful it would be to use Impulse directly to rollback to a prior install.  For example if the user could just click a button on the right side of the Impulse update screen to show prior release versions say last stable version and all subsequent betas, it would make Impulse a real star for managing version installs.

That build is the last stable release (non-beta).  If it works for you then use it.  If not use SDC to install the latest beta available there which is build 537.  I'm assuming you know how to configure SDC to show betas.
