Tray icons not showing up

[vknowles]

Hi. I just tried installing HDSentinel on a Win8.1 64-bit desktop system. I am using an administrator account to be sure everything is working.

After I went through the configuration to verify everything, I set it to Load With Windows and clicked the Run As Service button.

The service is running, but there are no HDS tray icons displayed. I can reboot, and there still are no tray icons. I have verified that the setting for each drive is "Visible." The icons appear if I go back to running as an application rather than as a service, but they go away as soon as I run as a service.

This seems odd because I have HDS installed on another system as a service, and it shows tray icons.

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Please use the Hard Disk Sentinel Tray shortcut - which then shows the tray icons.

As described in the Help, when service mode used, the software runs in the backround, without displaying any information (including tray icons - even if they're enabled and visible in application mode).

For this situation, the Hard Disk Sentinel Tray shortcut can be used from the Hard Disk Sentinel program group, which designed to communicate with the service running in the background and display tray icons with temperature and allow the user (who may have limited user rights only) to check complete report - but can't perform tests or modify configuration, etc.

So if you see tray icons on the other system, then there is good chance that the Hard Disk Sentinel Tray started (and then it may auto start with this user) so then the tray icons are displayed by that.
