Klok randomly disappears in Windows 7 (64-bit)

[humbertolavigne]

What happens is that we’ll have Klok 1.5 open and then it will randomly close itself with no error or notice, it just disappears. Attempts to start it again don’t work until we go to the Task Manager and End Process manually. While the process shows up in the process list, it doesn’t show up in the Applications tab of the Task Manager.

Both I and my wife are students and we use Klok 1.5 to track the amount of time we study each day–it helps us stay accountable to ourselves. We are running the same system:

Gateway SX2802-01
4GB DDR2 Ram
Intel Core 2 Quad
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Intel GMA x4500 integrated graphics

Let us know if we can help track this bug down…it does make using Klok pretty difficult now.

Warm regards,

Abe

Is there any chance that you are minimizing it accidentally? Windows 7 changed the way the system tray is displayed. You have to tell Windows where you want the icon to show up in the system tray by clicking the little “up arrow” to the left of the system tray. If Klok is in that list, then you can just click customize to find it in the list. Make sure that the “Show icon and Notifications” is selected.
