Re: Poll: SetFSBTray Working and Windows Version

Works fine for me on Vista Business. One annoying little thing: Vista keeps preventing SetFSBTray to run at startup, because it needs administrator elevation to run (which is inevitable if software has to change hardware stuff). There is absolutely no way (except turning off UAC of course) to have it run directly at startup, I always have to clich 'See blocked programs' and then click the link to start it manually.

But since I practically never shut it down (always in standby), it doesn't bother me too much. It still is a great app, and Vista UAC is just a tad too restrictive wink

Don't make me "touch" you :-D

It works on Windows XP -- sorta.  I have to be plugged into AC power and be on the super high performance profile on the Power 4 Gear utility in order to change settings on SetFSBTray.  After that I can unplug and move around with the OC in place.

UAC Problems?  Either disable UAC or create a task to run setfsbtray on startup with highest privileges-it should bypass UAC prompts then.

XP problems?  Try uninstalling power 4 gear

I'm not 100% sure on these, but I think they'll help.

try MS's Application Compatibility Toolkit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta … laylang=en


1)Download and install the Application Compatibility Toolkit
2) In the Start menu, locate the new folder. Find the shortcut icon for Compatibility Administrator. Right click it and clik Run as administrator.
3) In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and select Application Fix.
4) Enter the name and other details of the application you want to alter behavior on and then browse to it to select it. Click Next.
5) Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen.
6) On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it.
7) Click Next and then Finish.
Select File and Save As. Save the file as a filename.SDB type file in a directory you will easily find it.
9) Copy the .sdb file to the Vista computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on.
10) Click Start>All Programs>Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
11) Run the command below:
sdbinst \.sdb
For example, if you saved the .SDB file as abc.sdb in the c:\Windows folder, the command should be like this:
sdbinst c:\abc.sdb


It should prompt: Installation of complete.

Unistall fix
sdbinst.exe -u c:\abc.sdb

The task scheduler trick does work.  Darkjerik confirmed it.  As for your trick, setfsbtray is set to requests "ASINVOKER" from UAC when it runs.  Could that be causing an issue with UAC?  If it might be a problem, you could try to change the app.manifest to find out.

Re: Poll: SetFSBTray Working and Windows Version

Little update on that: The Task Scheduler-method isn't flawless. And it really is a weird thing. It does seem to run it every time, but I've rebooted about 10 times in a row, and 4 times out of 10 the app was launched, but the tray-icon didn't appear. In Task Manager, it showed up, but without the icon, there isn't much to see of course. I'll try the other method posted above tomorrow, I'll have another update by then wink

Also don't worry too much about it, rebooting the N10 with Vista is a true pain because it takes so long, and I avoid it as much as I can. Having to right-click and Allow Blocked Programs really is a minor issue to me.

Is it set for when user logs on or during startup?

Tried them both, gives the same weird results. Sometimes it works perfectly, but it happens that the icon just doesn't show up while Task Manager says it is running.

Re: Poll: SetFSBTray Working and Windows Version

I upgraded to Win7 Pro 32b on my N10, SetFSBTray works like a charm  big_smile
Even the strange boot-behaviour I had in Vista is completely gone. Since Win7 boots so much faster, I don't have to manually click through a gazillion menu's anymore to get rid of the warning messages that only state 'SetFSB is trying to autostart'.

Thank you Microsoft, and thank you Draves  wink
